Discover ‘different worlds’ on holidays to South Africa

The diversity of South Africa has been described by a recent visitor to the country.In an article for the Irish Times, Caroline Walsh wrote that people who go there can “be in different worlds within a matter of hours”.

Those who get themselves cheap flights to South Africa can enjoy trips through winelands on the Western Cape, Cederberg Wilderness gorges and urban life in cities such as Cape Town and Johannesburg.

Recreational activities range from enjoying African drumming and dance performances to having beauty treatments in hotel spas.

Ms Walsh described how she had a Dr Fish treatment in the Lanzerac Hotel Spa, having dead skin eaten away by cyprinids while relaxing in a Jacuzzi.

She also noted how the cities have been gearing up for the World Cup, which is hosted in South Africa this summer.

The host country is due to play Mexico on June 11th, a match that will take place in Johannesburg.
