With the holiday season upon us, we wanted to take a look at the 14 best holiday destinations for stunning photos!
We would love to know if you are planning your holiday at any of these breathtaking destinations, or if you are visiting somewhere else that did not make this list!
South Africa is home to some of the world’s most stunning and diverse scenery all packed into one country. From the urban beauty of Cape Town, with its tabletop mountain and dramatic coastline, to the red sand and wild beauty of a safari in Madikwe Game Reserve, we are sure we can all agree that this country has it all.
So make sure to grab your camera and phone while you’re on holiday to capture stunning photos that you can turn into incredible canvas prints to enjoy long after your holiday has ended!
1. Kruger National Park
There is nothing like seeing a wild lion (or really any African animal) for the first time on safari. Kruger National Park is one of the largest reserves in all of Africa and is famed for the sheer number of animals roaming around there.
2. Cape Town
Running along the coastline in front of the stadium are the city’s best beaches, such as Camps Bay and Clifton. Cape Town also offers the unmistakable Table Mountain and Lions Head that almost everyone in the world could probably recognise! Overall, this beautiful city is jam-packed with Instagram-worthy photo locations.
3. Boulders Beach
Want to pose with a penguin? You’ll find these little guys at Boulders Beach in False Bay, which is about an hour’s drive from downtown Cape Town. This national park is the only place in the world where you can interact with wild African penguins in this way—feeding and touching are prohibited though.
4. Camps Bay Beach
Framed by the Twelve Apostles rock formations, Camps Bay Beach (just outside of Cape Town city limits) is truly one of the world’s most beautiful beaches.
5. Madikwe Game Reserve
In South Africa’s North West Province and right on the border with Botswana, Madikwe Game Reserve is a super special spot for a few days of safari. Guests can look forward to seeing rare animals like the endangered African wild dog. There are less than 5,000 wild dogs left on the planet, but Madikwe has a healthy pack.
6. Wild Coast
South Africa’s Wild Coast in the Eastern Cape Province is one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the country. Here, you’ll find small hippie towns like Coffee Bay, home to the famous Hole in the Wall and plenty of activities – from surfing to interacting with the local Xhosa people.
7. Durban
Durban is South Africa’s third-largest city and a popular beach destination because of the beautiful warm Indian Ocean water – much warmer than in Cape Town! That means you can actually swim without a wet suit. It is also home to fabulous sunsets, which we all know are very Instagram-worthy!
8. Garden Route
Running for some 200 kilometres from Mossel Bay to Storms River, the Garden Route is one of South Africa’s most famous scenic drives. The route takes you up over the craggy mountains and down to the sea. It is also home to adrenaline-fueled activities like the world’s highest commercial bungee jump from Bloukrans Bridge. You drop a dizzying 216 meters into a gorge and you know what that means… great action shots incoming!
9. Table Mountain at Sunset
Cape Town’s iconic flat-top mountain is dramatic at any time of day, but especially during sunrise when the colours are striking. The 3,558-foot mountain can be summited on foot or via the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway when the winds aren’t blowing too hard. If you want to sound like a local, mention “the tablecloth” when you see clouds covering the top of “the mountain.”
10. Addo Elephant National Park
There are more than just elephants alive and thriving in Addo Elephant National Park, which is South Africa’s third-largest park after Kruger National Park and Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park. But if you love pachyderms, you will love Addo, as it is home to more than 600 elephants.
11. Muizenberg Beach
Home to the Instagram-famous, multi-coloured beach huts, Muizenberg is also known for its surf scene – which is a great place for beginners to try and surf. The beach town is on the Cape Peninsula less than an hour’s drive from Cape Town. Head to Surfers Corner to meet the locals and ride consistently good waves.
12. False Bay: Whale Watching
Whale-watching along the coast near False Bay (also on the Cape Peninsula) is a must when visiting! You are likely to see humpback whales and southern right whales migrate through the area.
13. Namaqualand
The desert landscape around Namaqualand, in South Africa’s Northern Cape Province bordering Namibia, comes alive with wildflowers. The flowers are a result of some solid spring rains – which people come from all over the world to view, photograph, or paint the landscape.
14. Free State
South Africa’s interior has vast tracks of rural farmland, where you can watch the sunrise in utter silence and isolation. The Free State is also home to Bloemfontein, which is South Africa’s judicial capital city.
