SOUTH AFRICA RANKS AS BEST WINTER-SUN DESTINATION FOR NORTHERN HEMISPHERIANS

 

South Africa's beach destinations have done the country proud again, ranking as one of the best winter-sun destination for Northern Hemispherians.

According to Conte Nast Traveller, South Africa is best to visit in November and March and what sets the country apart among others, Laos, Oman and Hawaii, is stunning scenery, breathtaking beaches, as well as world-class wines and fabulous food.

Unsurprisingly, the Western Cape gets a mention.

"The country's most celebrated stretch of coastline is the glorious Garden Route. However in the other direction, a road trip through the Western Cape makes a rewarding alternative and the weather is particularly good in December and January," says Conte Nast Traveller. –
