South Africa is a country of incredible natural beauty. Travellers are drawn here by our vast wilderness areas – strongholds for herds of elephant, leopard and lion. And now it's the new foodie travel favourite.
Then there are our coastlines: a few sunny days in Cape Town followed by a Big Five safari. Or a slow drive up the beach-lined Garden Route before nipping inland to the private game reserves of the Eastern Cape. South Africa has long been famed for its wildlife and white sand beaches. But in recent years, it’s our food and wine that’s been surprising and delighting our visitors. Food and travel have always gone hand in hand, and now this country at the tip of Africa has begun hitting the travel headlines as one of the world’s top foodie travel destinations.
Cape Town was placed third in “The World’s Best Food Cities". In part, its' success is due to internationally-acclaimed restaurants. Restaurants serve guests culinary works of art with bold, innovative flavours.
All around the city you’ll find quirky coffee shops with their unique blends. Bars sell a wide range of local craft beers, and the popular weekend markets are packed with organic produce and beautifully crafted eats. As for the restaurants, from the best burger spot to candle-lit fine dining, you’ll find eating out in the city fantastically affordable.
