South Africa is a land of breathtaking landscapes and incredible wildlife. A safari adventure here promises encounters with some of the most iconic animals on Earth. So get your binoculars out and see if you can spot these five beauties.

The Majestic Lion

King of the jungle and a symbol of Africa’s wilderness, the lion is a must-see on any safari. Witnessing a pride lounging in the golden savanna or stalking prey across the grasslands is an experience that will leave you awestruck.

The Gentle Giant

African elephants are the largest land animals on the planet. Encountering a herd of these magnificent creatures browsing or bathing in a watering hole is a humbling sight. 

The Powerhouse of the Plains

The African buffalo is a formidable grazer, often seen in large herds. Don’t be fooled by their grazing demeanor. These powerful animals are surprisingly agile and have a reputation for fierce defense.

The Elusive Cat

Leopards are the most secretive of the big cats, perfectly adapted for camouflage. Spotting one perched on a branch or stalking prey in the tall grass is a true safari highlight. 

The Prehistoric Relic

Seeing a rhinoceros with its thick hide and prehistoric appearance is like stepping back in time. South Africa is home to both white and black rhinoceros, both critically endangered but making a comeback thanks to conservation efforts.

Cape Town, located at the southwestern tip of South Africa, is a city of extraordinary natural beauty, diverse culture, and rich history. If you’re planning a trip to this remarkable location, here are three must-visit destinations.

Table Mountain

One of Cape Town’s most iconic landmarks, Table Mountain dominates the city’s skyline with its flat-topped peak.

There are two ways to reach the summit: hiking or taking the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway. 

Robben Island

Robben Island holds a significant place in South Africa’s history. It’s primarily known for its former use as a maximum-security prison where Nelson Mandela and other political prisoners were held during the apartheid era. Today, it stands as a powerful symbol of the country’s journey to democracy and reconciliation. An incredible place to tour.

A safari trip, particularly to South Africa, is one of the most unique and exciting traveling experiences out there. But safari isn’t simple to plan, and there are a few things you must consider before embarking on this adventure. Here are a few tips to help plan a safari in South Africa.

When to Go

Winter is the ideal season for wildlife watching because many trees and shrubs turn leafless, which makes spotting the animals easier. South African winter takes place between June and December. 

National Park Options

South Africa has over 600 reserves and national parks. The latter is the more affordable option, but unfortunately, it also tends to be more crowded. Two parks stand out—Kruger National Park and Hluhluwe-iMfolozi. Kruger Park, which is roughly the size of Wales, is home to nearly every African animal you can think of. There is an array of accommodation options in the park—from isolated campsites to cottages in busy compounds.

Hluhluwe-iMfolozi is situated in the heart of Zululand, and beaches along the nearby Elephant Coast are some of South Africa’s most beautiful.

Private Reserve Options

Private reserves have a few advantages—unlike most of the government camps, the lodges there are rarely fenced, meaning you’re as close to the wildlife as possible. The only reason you might not choose a private reserve would be the high cost of the experience.

As a home of African wildlife across its sprawling savanna, South Africa has more safari adventures than you can count. Still, being this spoilt for choice can make it difficult to choose the trip that will provide you with the best experience. Here are the top-rated safaris in South Africa that should be at the top of your list.

Pafuri Walking Safaris

Situated in the sprawling Kruger National Park, this walking safari will make you one with nature. Typically at least a two-day adventure in the northern Kruger Park, you’ll be able to encounter an array of baobab trees and a large fever tree forest while also spotting the occasional leopard, lion, and elephant.

Camp Figtree

If spotting members of the Big Five is your priority, then Camp Figtree is where you want to be. Located just outside Addo Elephant National Park, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to see elephants up close, however, lions have also been introduced to this ecosystem, making for an intriguing safari.

Lion Sands

This private game reserve offers you unique access to the Sabie River, where a wide range of animals congregate all year round. Lion Sands also happens to be a luxurious lodge, with private plunge pools and even tree house accommodation.

While it’s possible to discover the odd brightly painted house or graffiti-covered wall in almost any location, some cities around the world take the use of color much more seriously. Vibrant homes and buildings are woven into the local identity, telling stories and creating a fantastic backdrop for photography. If you’re a traveler with a penchant for unique destinations, visiting a colorful city is sure to captivate your senses and leave you with lasting memories. Here are a few that especially stand out.

Havana, Cuba

The pastel-hued buildings in Havana’s historic district are a photographer’s dream come true. Colors range from shades of yellow, orange, turquoise, and pink, creating opportunities for Instagram-worthy shots at every turn. Take a stroll along the Malecon, Havana’s iconic seafront boulevard, or check out local festivals such as the Havana Carnaval.

Burano, Italy

This tiny island in the Venetian Lagoon is famous for the colorful houses that line its canals. The houses are painted in a rainbow of colors, which, legend has it, started as a tradition for fishermen to easily find their way home on foggy days.

Bo-Kaap, Cape Town, South Africa

Bo-Kaap is a neighborhood located in the heart of Cape Town known for its brightly colored houses, a practice that began as an expression of freedom when the Malay people were freed from slavery. Colors include neon orange, red, pink, and more, and create a striking contrast against the backdrop of Table Mountain.

Many people who have never ventured to the African continent are convinced that lions and elephants roam the streets. Some even believe it when Africans joke that they travel to work or school on a pet giraffe. The truth is that many cities in Africa are incredibly cosmopolitan, featuring skyscrapers, highways, large shopping malls, and fancy restaurants. And no, there is no wildlife strolling around. 

Except, as it were, in this video. The clip shows a young cheetah casually walking around a resort lounge in Limpopo, South Africa as if it were the most natural thing in the world! The people sitting at the table on the balcony look far from alarmed, and there even seems to be another wild cat in the background.

@jacog9 African beauty 🇿🇦 #viral #nature #africa #cheetah #pet #fyp #southafrica #SAMA28 #southafricatiktok #explore #viralvideo #foryou #lifestyle #nofilter ♬ Asimbonanga – Johnny Clegg & Savuka

According to the TikTok user who posted the video, which he captioned “King of Speed”, the cheetah is now older and lives in the wild where she hunts for food. 

To prove that a predatory animal being in close proximity is not a normal occurrence, fellow users of the app took to the comments section to share their shock. 

“I would have been on the table in a sec, as if that would have helped,” wrote one. Another quipped, “I would have died 5 times.”

Overall, commenters laughed at how the video has done nothing to debunk the belief that Africans have wildlife as pets.

“Y’all are really making it hard for us to prove we don’t chill with wild animals, how can we defend ourselves after this now.”

Rest assured—most animals like these are confined to zoos and in the bush on safari!

A safari trip, particularly to South Africa, is one of the most unique and exciting traveling experiences out there. But safari isn’t simple to plan, and there are a few things you must consider before embarking on this adventure. Here are a few tips to help plan a safari in South Africa.

When to Go

Winter is the ideal season for wildlife watching because many trees and shrubs turn leafless, which makes spotting the animals easier. South African winter takes place between June and December. 

National Park Options

South Africa has over 600 reserves and national parks. The latter is the more affordable option, but unfortunately, it also tends to be more crowded. Two parks stand out—Kruger National Park and Hluhluwe-iMfolozi. Kruger Park, which is roughly the size of Wales, is home to nearly every African animal you can think of. There is an array of accommodation options in the park—from isolated campsites to cottages in busy compounds.

Hluhluwe-iMfolozi is situated in the heart of Zululand, and beaches along the nearby Elephant Coast are some of South Africa’s most beautiful.

Private Reserve Options

Private reserves have a few advantages—unlike most of the government camps, the lodges there are rarely fenced, meaning you’re as close to the wildlife as possible. The only reason you might not choose a private reserve would be the high cost of the experience.

As a home of African wildlife across its sprawling savanna, South Africa has more safari adventures than you can count. Still, being this spoilt for choice can make it difficult to choose the trip that will provide you with the best experience. Here are the top-rated safaris in South Africa that should be at the top of your list.

Pafuri Walking Safaris

Situated in the sprawling Kruger National Park, this walking safari will make you one with nature. Typically at least a two-day adventure in the northern Kruger Park, you’ll be able to encounter an array of baobab trees and a large fever tree forest while also spotting the occasional leopard, lion, and elephant.

Camp Figtree

If spotting members of the Big Five is your priority, then Camp Figtree is where you want to be. Located just outside Addo Elephant National Park, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to see elephants up close, however, lions have also been introduced to this ecosystem, making for an intriguing safari.

Lion Sands

This private game reserve offers you unique access to the Sabie River, where a wide range of animals congregate all year round. Lion Sands also happens to be a luxurious lodge, with private plunge pools and even tree house accommodation.

While it’s possible to discover the odd brightly painted house or graffiti-covered wall in almost any location, some cities around the world take the use of color much more seriously. Vibrant homes and buildings are woven into the local identity, telling stories and creating a fantastic backdrop for photography. If you’re a traveler with a penchant for unique destinations, visiting a colorful city is sure to captivate your senses and leave you with lasting memories. Here are a few that especially stand out.

Havana, Cuba

The pastel-hued buildings in Havana’s historic district are a photographer’s dream come true. Colors range from shades of yellow, orange, turquoise, and pink, creating opportunities for Instagram-worthy shots at every turn. Take a stroll along the Malecon, Havana’s iconic seafront boulevard, or check out local festivals such as the Havana Carnaval.

Burano, Italy

This tiny island in the Venetian Lagoon is famous for the colorful houses that line its canals. The houses are painted in a rainbow of colors, which, legend has it, started as a tradition for fishermen to easily find their way home on foggy days.

Bo-Kaap, Cape Town, South Africa

Bo-Kaap is a neighborhood located in the heart of Cape Town known for its brightly colored houses, a practice that began as an expression of freedom when the Malay people were freed from slavery. Colors include neon orange, red, pink, and more, and create a striking contrast against the backdrop of Table Mountain.

Many people who have never ventured to the African continent are convinced that lions and elephants roam the streets. Some even believe it when Africans joke that they travel to work or school on a pet giraffe. The truth is that many cities in Africa are incredibly cosmopolitan, featuring skyscrapers, highways, large shopping malls, and fancy restaurants. And no, there is no wildlife strolling around. 

Except, as it were, in this video. The clip shows a young cheetah casually walking around a resort lounge in Limpopo, South Africa as if it were the most natural thing in the world! The people sitting at the table on the balcony look far from alarmed, and there even seems to be another wild cat in the background.

According to the TikTok user who posted the video, which he captioned “King of Speed”, the cheetah is now older and lives in the wild where she hunts for food. 

To prove that a predatory animal being in close proximity is not a normal occurrence, fellow users of the app took to the comments section to share their shock. 

“I would have been on the table in a sec, as if that would have helped,” wrote one. Another quipped, “I would have died 5 times.”

Overall, commenters laughed at how the video has done nothing to debunk the belief that Africans have wildlife as pets.

“Y’all are really making it hard for us to prove we don’t chill with wild animals, how can we defend ourselves after this now.”

Rest assured—most animals like these are confined to zoos and in the bush on safari!
