During this brief article, I’m going to discuss the not so well known locations of the South African peninsula, so you can avoid the crowds while also enjoying the cheaper prices that you discover off the beaten path.

Kruger National Park
A lot of individuals know about Kruger Park from arguably the most celebrated amateur footage of a buffalo caught by a lion and a crocodile. It’s the largest wildlife reserve in the South African peninsula and covers 60 km from east to west and 350 km from north to south. The park has 8 main gates that provide entryway to the various camps . There is an abundance of accommodation near Kruger National Park so it doesn’t need to be a mammoth return trip from Cape Town or whatever holiday resort you’re based in.

Visit the Drakensberg Mountain Range
The Drakensberg is the highest range of mountains the South African Peninsula, rising to 3,482 metres (11,420 ft) in height. Old caves are predominant in the more easily worn sandstone, and many have rock paintings etched by the Bushmen. The Drakensberg Mountain Range has between 35000 and 40000 works of bushman art and is the biggest aggregation of such work in the world. There is evidence that the bushmen lived in the Drakensberg at least 40,000 years ago, and possibly over 100,000 years ago. The Drakensberg Mountain Range is simple to get to from closeby Durban and you can find accommodation in Durban without any trouble.

KwaZulu Region
The KwaZulu region has been progressively popular with holidaymakers – primarily advertised as the Zulu Kingdom. It is a shame that many from abroad miss this experience, as many locals know that it gives visitors a myriad of experiences. For a long time it has taken the moniker as the Garden Province – the name being well deserved. There ought to be no trouble finding guesthouses near KwaZulu.
