Travelers from the UAE and Saudi Arabia can now visit South Africa without a visa, so we’ve compiled a list of the most breathtaking spots to see.
Table Mountain
Around 300 million years ago, Table Mountain was at sea level. As the continents tore apart and collided, Cape Town’s famous landmark was gradually forced to rise and it now stands a kilometer high, overlooking the bay.
Gansabaai
The fishing town is a popular tourist destination that is known for its dense population of sharks and whales. Daring visitors can even try a shark-cage diving experience.
Kimberley
Known as the “big hole,” Kimberley is home to the world’s largest diamond mine.
Addo Elephant National Park
Besides having over 600 elephants, the park is home to the largest African penguin colony. During your wildlife tour, you will also be able to spot buffalos, lions and leopards.
Knysna
The town’s lagoons, surrounded by forests, are popular for sailing excursions. Knysna also has several shops specializing in woodwork and traditional furniture.
Plettenberg Bay
The scenery at the resort town makes it one of the country’s top tourist spots. The crystal clear water and white sand keep people coming back.
