In Wake of Storms, U.S. Travelers Look To South Africa As New Vacation Destination

Cape Town, South Africa — After a par­tic­u­larly rough storm sea­son with many tra­di­tional vaca­tion des­tin­a­tions rebuild­ing, Americans are begin­ning to book travel to South Africa.

"South Africa has some of the best and least crowded beaches in the world," says Stefani Searle of SA-Venues.com, a site serving as a dir­ect­ory to vaca­tion options in South Africa. "We've seen a big upswing in interest from Americans in recent months," Searle said.

Visitors enjoy renowned wild­life parks such as Kruger National Park, beau­ti­ful nat­ural scenery, and a stable post-apartheid envir­on­ment. South Africa, long a vaca­tion favor­ite for Europeans, has a very well developed tour­ist industry that offers world class accom­mod­a­tions and an unusu­ally diverse range of nat­ural won­ders and cul­tural activities.

Recently, with storms shut­ting down many of North America's key vaca­tion areas, Americans are look­ing to South Africa in large num­bers. Being in the south­ern hemi­sphere, South Africa exper­i­ences a mild sum­mer while North America is suf­fer­ing under the snow and ice of winter.

There are com­pre­hens­ive and eas­ily search­able dir­ect­or­ies of hotels and accom­mod­a­tions, along with ways to rent cars, book safaris, and more. Many are sur­prised to dis­cover accom­mod­a­tions range from world-renowned 5 star hotels to lux­uri­ous African game lodges.

Favorite activ­it­ies include wild­life and bird life tours, health resorts and spas, and cham­pi­on­ship 18 hole golf courses. "For the budget-conscious trav­eler who really wants to get a feel for South African life, we have a full list of bed and break­fast facil­it­ies that offer lower prices and a truly local exper­i­ence," Searle said. Vacationers can travel the region eas­ily, from Cape Town to Cairo or the Kruger Park to Kilimanjaro. South African Airways offers regularly-scheduled flights between the major cen­ters, as do many inter­na­tional airlines.
