South Africa is huge

Many individuals plan their South African vacations assuming that the country will be small. While it is small in comparison to the rest of the African continent, it is a major country in its own right, ranking as the world's 24th largest.

It's a good idea to keep in mind that the country is extremely huge, so don't overbook yourself. Remember to factor in travel time between destinations, as viewing everything you wish to see may take considerably longer than anticipated.

Expect to spend at least a week exploring South Africa, which is roughly twice the size of France. Decide the cities, towns, and locations you want to visit before you leave. The larger cities, such as Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Durban, attract the majority of visitors, but there's much more to see than the main attractions.
