South Africa is also a home to some famous movies, Blood Diamond and the sci-fi underground hit District 9 being some of them. District 9 was set in Johannesburg while the other was primarily shot in Kimberley. Just consider the following travel tips.

These are just some of the numerous natural locales that one can visit.

There are so many different game reserves, fishing spots, and even golf parks for you to visit. Fishing is considered as one of the biggest sports in the country and this is why you’ll find a lot of different deep sea fishing tours available. You can also sign up for whale watching or to just go on a hiking tour to see more than 24,000 species of flowers, a majority of them found only in African soil.

A Different Kind of Party

If you are looking for a completely different kind of visit and you prefer to party all night then you could always go down to Cape Town, which is also the capital city and home of Parliament, and go for their famous wine vineyards.
