2025 South Africa Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

#fallishere #wildlife #southafrica #kruger #nationalpark #safari A lifetime experience is to head to the world renowned Kruger National Park located in South Africa. This is one very popular game reserve that you have to go if you are coming here to johennasburg. They have a wide array of animals, reptiles and birds and has a huge area covering more than 19k square metres. The best experience for this reserve is to be driven in one of the high elevated keeps which gives you a bird eye view among the high dry grasses making this experience a never to forget. Also, don't forget to catch a glimpse of the African sunset too!

#Keep close to small animals To travel to Johannesburg, South Africa, you can reserve a day for horseback riding and lion and safari park visits. Entering the park, you can take a wildlife tour bus to see various wildlife. The tour car is surrounded by barbed wire, which is very safe. Head to the safari area where you can see zebras, antelope and more. Entering the range of the lion park, you will see many lions languishing in the sun, and you will also see cheetahs. When you go to the feeding area, you can see giraffes, ostriches, and you can go inside the cage to take pictures with the cubs, the land is very obedient and cute.

OH CAPE TOWN 🇿🇦 Can’t believe it’s already one year ago since I had the chance to visit South Africa thanks to @radissonhotels ! It was actually my last trip overseas 😭 So to celebrate it, here is a series of pictures taken around Cape Town, where we had a blast exploring the city and its surroundings. Definitely one of my favorite memories from last year ! #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

Lion park-South Africa It is a conservation enclosure for lions, cheetahs, hyena, wild dogs and various antelope. It is located in the Cradle of Humankind in the North West province of South Africa.For me it was my last lion experiance,It definitely needs the strong ones.This is the closest you can get to all kinds if wildlife.I recommend self driving!!

Per capita 150 yuan to live in South Africa's own swimming pool villas, it's so cool! Cape Town has too many good-looking B&Bs, whichever is cost-effective, we came to Simon's Town in Cape Town Let me meet such a magical landlord, their family likes Santorini in Greece too, and bought a house directly at the beach to dress up as Santorini. When I just got up, I just met the clouds and passed through the mountains. I ate dinner and watched the sunset and dusk. The work was tired and looked up. The blue sky and blue sky cured the fatigue. The house that can see the scenery with this open eye has become my dream. There are three bedrooms and one living room. The main bedroom is a view of the eye and the bathroom has a special raft. The kitchen utensils are complete, there are more than five choices for cups and forks, and the cutters are also very sharp, which is very suitable for cooking. The living room wall is Baker from the seaside. There is a small sailboat in the cupboard. The spacious living room is connected to the open kitchen. Every place where the sun shines in is a fan. Clean and transparent floor to ceiling windows. A villa with a price of 900 yuan per night, you can stay for 6 people, only 150 yuan per person, great value! ! When parting, the landlord made a special trip to send us and gave us a big parting hug. When she heard our round-the-world trip, she kept saying: fantastic, and I think, like she can Living with freedom and satisfaction is another kind of fantasy.

#TravelFreeVisa Want to see wildlife, want to go on a safari? You can get a Free VISA!! Because this is “South Africa”, a country that provides free visas for Thais. Those who want to go on a safari (game drive) can choose from Cape Town and Kruger National Park. For us, we chose to fly to Johannesburg (the ticket price is very cheap) and then drive to Manyeleti game reserve, which is next to Kruger National Park. Wildlife can be reached all the time, there is no fence. The game drive activity is organized by the accommodation by a game ranger who will take us on a real jungle ride! Both at sunset and sunrise, they will take us to see wildlife that we have seen in documentaries offroad. Of course, many people want to see the BIG5 or the five great wildlife of Africa (lions, leopards, African elephants, African buffaloes, and rhinos), but unfortunately, we only saw 4 (missing the leopard). They said that lions and leopards do not get along, but the area we went to is the habitat of a lion pride, so we did not see any leopards. But just seeing them was a great experience, especially the baby animals that are so cute and shy. Oh! And when you see this, don't think the weather is hot because it's actually very cold. Especially from dusk until sunrise, it's very cold. Don't forget to bring warm clothing. Another thing is that the accommodation doesn't have a fence, so you'll really get close to the wild animals. Seeing wild animals in nature is really special.

Just got back from a trip home to South Africa, and what a journey it was! I flew from Incheon Airport to Dubai, then on to SA — and wow, the experience was unforgettable. It was my first time flying with **Emirates**, and I’m officially a fan. From smooth communication to amazing onboard service and comfort, it was pure bliss. **Dubai International Airport** truly blew me away. The atmosphere was vibrant, the staff incredibly friendly, and the diversity among both travelers and workers reminded me so much of home — it felt like a warm welcome in a foreign land. Even with long layover hours, time flew by! The airport itself is a **shopping paradise** — there’s so much to explore that boredom isn't even an option. If you're planning international travel, I *highly recommend* connecting through Dubai. It’s more than just a stopover — it’s part of the adventure. #TravelDiaries #EmiratesExperience #DubaiAirport #LayoverLuxury #TravelSouthAfrica #IncheonToSA #FlyEmirates #AirportVibes #Wanderlust #TravelTips
