South Africa is a beautiful country with lots of natural attractions and historical sites. Here are some of the most popular things to do while visiting this amazing place:

Table Mountain

“It is a mountain with a flat top,” says the South African National Parks website. “It formed when a colossal block of stone broke away from the main bulk of the Table Mountain range and slid down the mountain to rest in its present position.”

The famous landmark is part of Table Mountain National Park and can be accessed via cable car or foot. From there, visitors can enjoy views stretching as far as Hout Bay and Hermanus on clear days—or perhaps just imagine what it would look like if they could see farther than that. Tables are often used here as metaphors for life’s trials, so perhaps you should be prepared to reflect upon your existence while taking in this breathtaking view at one of South Africa’s most popular tourist destinations.

Robben Island

Robben Island is one of the most famous prisons in South Africa, and it plays a crucial role in the country’s history. Parts of the island are now open to the public as a museum, but you can also visit it by ferry from Cape Town.

Robben Island was used first as a prison for political prisoners starting at the end of World War II until 1991; its most famous prisoner was Nelson Mandela, who spent 18 years there before he was released and elected president of South Africa. He walked across Robben Island with his hands in front of him so that they would touch nothing while visiting—an experience he said stayed with him throughout his presidency.

Kruger National Park

The Kruger National Park is a game reserve in South Africa and the largest game reserve in the world. It’s home to a variety of animals, including lions, elephants, and rhinos.

The park also has over 1,000 bird species and reptiles and frogs. A lot of these animals live in the grasslands or woodlands but some prefer water areas like lakes or rivers. There are many types of trees located throughout the park that attract insects which then help feed other animals such as monkeys or birds that eat those insects.

Victoria Falls

It’s the largest waterfall in the world, with a staggering height of 1,708 ft and width of 1,708 ft. You can see it from Zambia or Zimbabwe on your South African safari. It’s one of seven natural wonders!

If you’d like to walk across the bridge that runs above the falls, you’ll need to pay $5 USD to enter this area. Unfortunately, due to recent Ebola outbreaks in nearby countries (Zambia is surrounded by them), there are strict health checks before entering the park, so make sure you bring your passport with you if you plan on crossing over into Zimbabwe via Victoria Falls bridge.
