Akbar Bestselling South Africa Tour Packages from India

Things you need to know before you visit South Africa

Language

There are 11 official languages in South Africa. Although English is the primary language in all major cities, the two most frequently spoken languages are Zulu and Xhosa.

Currency

The South African currency is known as the Rand. 1 USD is about comparable to 15 South African Rands.

Credit Cards and ATMs

Most businesses and restaurants in major cities and rural villages accept credit cards as payment. ATMs are commonly accessible at petrol stations and shopping centres. When shopping for souvenirs in markets, though, it's important to withdraw cash or check to see if the vendor accepts payment with applications like Snapscan.

Charging plugs

South African plugs are of three types: D, M, and N. The standard voltage is 230 volts, and the standard frequency is 50 cycles per second. For hair dryers and hot tools, we recommend purchasing a universal adapter (with surge protection) and utilizing a converter.

Getting Around

If you’ve booked your vacation with Akbar Travels’s South Africa tourism package, you need not worry about this. If not, we then recommend hiring a car and driving yourself, but if you're not comfortable navigating strange territory, you may hire a driving service. Keep in mind that traffic in the city is a huge issue, especially during "rush hour," so keep that in mind when arranging your schedule. However, if  you’re visiting the country with our South Africa 7 days package, you can also use Uber to explore other sites that aren’t a part of the itinerary as Uber is commonly used by locals around the city and is regarded as dependable and safe.

Safety

One of the most often asked topics is if it is safe for a solitary female tourist to visit South Africa. A popular poll appears to show that visitors have never felt unsafe, but they always use common sense and be alert of their surroundings. Thus one could also choose this lovely destination for a honeymoon like none other.

Things to do on your Trip to South Africa

1. CapeTown: Hike up Table Mountain, explore Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, sunbathe on gorgeous beaches, visit Robben Island, and go on a wine tour while in Cape Town. Cape Town offers it all, so make the most of your stay here.

2. Arpatheid's Tragic Past: Learn more about South Africa by visiting the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg, through our South Africa packages from India, touring Robben Island (where Nelson Mandela spent 18 years in jail), and exploring Soweto (SOuth WEstern TOwnships), a township established by the Apartheid regime in Gauteng. It's a bleak, eye-opening age to study.

3. Kruger National Park: Kruger National Park is the country's largest, most popular, and busiest wildlife reserve. It's a massive park with approximately 2 million hectares (nearly 5 million acres) of wildlife-filled land (including the Big 5). A basic three-day budget safari will set you back around 12,000 ZAR.

4. Drive the Garden Road: On your South Africa trip from India do take this route that runs along the Indian Ocean from Mossel Bay to St Francis, offering gorgeous wetlands, lovely vistas, and huge vineyards along the way. The travel is just approximately 200 kilometers (125 miles), so don't rush; instead, take your time and stop and explore as you go.

5. Day trip to Eswatini: If not a part of your South Africa tour packages from mumbai, you can take a chance to pay a visit to Eswatini. Previously known as Swaziland, this little nation was renamed Eswatini in 2018 (Eswatini means "land of the Swazis"). There are numerous major game parks and reserves in the area, making it an excellent site for additional animal viewing. Make a point of visiting Hlane Royal National Park. Border crossings may be sluggish, so double-check the wait times before you go.

6. Trip the Namaqualand Flower Route: If not a part of your South Africa tour packages from ahmedabad, you can drive from Yzerfontein to Richtersveld National Park, taking the Namaqualand Flower Route which is a 650-kilometer (404-mile) drive. While it is possible to drive it in a single day, most people divide it up into portions and take a few days to complete it. Every spring (mostly in mid-August and mid-September, with a peak in August), this region erupts into a sea of color, with over 4,000 types of flowers blooming. Head north to Springbok, then south to face the blooms. The blooms are best seen between 10:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. on non-cloudy days, so plan your visit accordingly. The Goegap Nature Reserve also has picnic sites and overnight accommodations. You should expect to pay between 320 and 1,200 ZAR each night.

7. See the penguins: The African penguin is the continent's sole breeding penguin. They may be found in Boulders Beach and Stoney Point Nature Reserve in Betty's Bay (both locations are a short drive from Cape Town). Penguins are seldom seen outside of zoos, so it's well worth the travel to watch this colony of penguins living their best life on the beach. Arrive before 11 a.m. to get the finest view of the penguins with the fewest people. The entrance charge ranges from 25 to 152 ZAR.

8. Travel with our India to South Africa tour packages to go whale watching: South Africa is one of the top destinations in the world to go whale watching. If you travel between June and November, you have a good possibility of seeing Southern right whales, Bryde's whales, and orcas. Hermanus, located 120 kilometers (75 miles) southeast of Cape Town, is the home base for many of the country's premier whale-watching businesses. Southern Right Charters, Hermanus Whale Cruises, and Xplora Tours are some trustworthy firms. A two-hour excursion should cost between 900 and 1,020 ZAR.
