From there, we recommend packing some outdoor gear like walking shoes and a hat, your swimwear of choice, clothing to suit the season and a healthy dose of adventure.

South Africa is an ideal year-round destination, however, those looking to fill their camera roll with animal pics should visit between May and October, which offer perfect wildlife-viewing weather. Bird watchers may want to visit a little later, between November and February, as the rain welcomes more opportunities to see exotic birds. Finally, those looking to catch a wave should say 'cowabunga' to a South African holiday between March and September, when the waves are at their peak.
