South African Travel: From Backcountry to Metropolis

South Africa has so much variety to offer visitors that it is difficult to define in a few words. One can travel from isolated bushveldt to cosmopolitan city in a few hours. A safari can be followed by a visit to the spectacular coast and on to the magnificent Drakensburg mountain range. Activities ranging from game drives to shark dives are all part of the South African experience. South Africa is a country that truly has something for everyone.

South Africans national parks and reserves have been splendidly managed for decades and visitors are likely to observe most of southern Africas animals in these parks. In addition, there are many private game reserves providing five-star accommodation and personalized service rivaling any resort in the world. From backpacking to ultimate luxury, you will find what you are looking for in South Africa.

Some of our favorite places:

1. Kruger National Park is Africas oldest game reserve and is one of its largest at nearly 2 million hectares. You are likely to spot all of the "big five" in this park.

2. Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve in the heart of KwaZulu-Natal is renowned for its white rhino conservation program.

3. Itala Game Reserve in KwaZulu-Natals rugged northern region offers not only spectacular game viewing but contains some of southern Africas most unique geological features.

4. The Drakensburg Mountains are a must-see while in South Africa. Its magnificent peaks and valleys can be accessed by car, foot, mountain bike or horse and visitors can see many of the rock paintings that its ancient inhabitants have left behind.

5. Tsitsikamma National Park is a unique mountainous coastal ecosystem and one of the worlds largest marine reserves. Watch dolphins surf the waves, take a hike along the rocky coast, and watch whales while camping on the beach. The Otter trail, a 10-day hike along the coast, has a waiting list of months, and is named for the shy creatures that feed along the shores of the park.

6. South Africas beaches range from the tropical east coast to the cold-current west coast. If you want to get a tan while watching penguins, a visit to the Cape Peninsula is the place to be.

7. Cape Town is one of the worlds most beautiful cities. Dine at one of its many fabulous restaurants and take in the nightlife in the shadow of Table Mountain, then take a cable car to the top of the mountain for lunch the next day.

8. The Western Cape is famous for its wineries and quaint Dutch architecture. Begin your wine tour in Stellenbosch and visit as many wineries as you can (preferably while someone else drives!)

Whether you plan to spend a few days or a few weeks in South Africa, you will find what you are looking for!

Vacation of a Lifetime
You stare at your monitor with your eyes blinded by the ultra-violet rays it is emitting. You sit back then stretch your arms until your tendons reach nirvana. You yawn without warning. You really need a break from writing articles, you said to yourself. You check your e-mail and receive a message from your best friend. Jealousy strikes as you browse all the images attached to her message. You really need to have that Hawaii vacation package, or anything that will lead you anywhere but the dreary office where you?ve spent the weeknights for the longest time.

Most Important Travel Tips
Experienced travelers the world over know the tried and true saying: Less is more. Who wants to schlep around heavy, bulky bags when you?re far from home, most likely running from place to place, trying to make sure all of your belongings continue to be your belongings? The trick of the trade, according to seasoned travelers, is to consider packing only one bag. What?s more, to consider making that bag the size of a carry-on bag.

It is prudent to follow some guidelines while packing and take some safety measures in order to ensure that you truly prepared for your vacation.

Most of us may not be aware of the fact that most of the insurance companies do not extend their cover if we leave the shores of US for business or vacation. It implies that we do not enjoy insurance coverage for the period we are out of our country, and, should any medical emergency arise during that period, it has to be faced and borne by us alone!

Extreme Vacation Getaway: Sportsfishing!
Summer Holidays! The very phrase conjures visions of tropical islands and lime drinks and long days of enjoyment. I look around and find everyone stressed out. Hard work, stressing out about deadlines, and the hot weather, you know the drill - I cannot wait for my summer vacation! That is the only time of the year (ya, even more than Christmas, when I indulge, with a hard earned vacation). But this year is proving to be a dampner. With the ever increase gas prices and less airlines, flight prices are increasingly looking like a large investment. But then, when there is a will, there is a way.
