The South African peninsula sports moderate weather throughout the year, with the bonus of being nicely placed at the right latitude in the Southern Hemisphere - turning it into a lovely vacation away from the chilly European and American winters.

In this short piece, I’m going to highlight the less well known areas of the South African peninsula, places where you can avoid the crowds and at the same time enjoy the cheaper costs that you can find in the lesser known places.

Kruger National Park
Kruger Park is the largest wildlife park in South Africa and ranges 350 km from south to north and 60 km from west to east. Kruger Park features 8 main gates that allow entry to the different campsites there. There is an abundance of accommodation near Kruger Park so it doesn’t have to be a mammoth return journey from Cape Town or whatever holiday resort you’re based in.

Visit the Drakensberg Mountain Range
The Drakensberg is the highest mountain range in South African, climbing to 3,482 meters (11,420 ft) in height. Old caves are frequently found in the easily eroded sandstone, and many have paintings drawn by the aboriginal bushmen. The Drakensberg Mountains have between 35000 and 40000 works of cave paintings and is the greatest aggregation of such drawings on the planet. There is some proof that the bushmen subsisted in the Drakensberg as long ago as 100,000 years ago. The Drakensberg Mountain Range is simple to get to from closeby Durban and you can normally book guesthouses in Durban very easily.

KwaZulu
The KwaZulu area has become increasingly popular with tourists - chiefly advertised as the Zulu Kingdom. It is a shame that many from abroad don’t visit this region, as many locals know that it gives holidaymakers a long list of experiences. For a long time it has taken the moniker as the Garden Province - the name being well deserved. And again, there ought to be no trouble finding hotels in and around KwaZulu.
