Whether it’s a Saltycrax or Wildtongue, backpacking seems to have taken SA by storm. 1000’s of young and fun loving older travelers prefer backpackers as their place to stay and most back packers offer camping sites, dorms and private rooms. They will usually have a cheap bar to start those wild nights off and a host of bathrooms for those that struggle after all the revels.
South Africa has a host of backpackers too choose from, from the mundane to the exquisite but mostly all of them are worth a visit as each has its own personality and charm.
It has always been suggested to start your tour at Cape Town, the mother of all cities. With its incredible views and amount of activities there is no reason to be bored. Basic activities include, but are not limited to, hiking, Skydiving, Pulling, Clubbing, Getting laid, Cherry picking, surfing, Wind surfing, Wild parties and lots, lots more.
A good trip to take from there is to go along the coast up to Durban and then to go inland to see some of the more amazing natural wonders of this diverse country.
The most wonderful thing about South Africa is its diversity. You have its many cultures, all living mostly harmoniously with each other, its diverse wildlife, from the people to the animals and its amazing scenery.
I was asked once on a plane From the UK by an American Tourist, “He asked me how many giraffes I had and why I wasn’t wearing my traditional dress?” I couldn’t give a reply to this statement as I was laughing my head off. South Africa is apart of Africa but it is completely modernized. We have a mostly western style of living but it is mixed with our own specialised cultures and ideals. Some of our cultures still believe heavily in the things like “Muti,” and traditional healing but most of South Africa does have good medical facilities, both private and government run.
In Short choose this land of wonder for an inexpensive and completely amazing backpacking holiday and if you’ll be traveling consider us for the best priced rental vehicles for the holiday of a lifetime.
