South Africa Accommodation and Transport

Accommodation

Most common accommodations are bed and breakfast, self catering, hotels and lodges. Depending on your budget one can choose to stay at a luxury Game Lodge, found in various Protected Parks, when taking a safari tour which includes all meals, game viewing on foot and game drives. These Lodges are more expensive but fully worth it. Bed and Breakfast are also highly recommended as they offer excellent treatment and rooms are clean. South Africans cook amazing food, especially meat and game dishes. Overall all, South Africans in the Hospitality Section offer an excellent service.

Car Hire

A Self drive tour is highly recommended. It gives you freedom to explore South Africa’s Landscape on your own pace. Drive through scenic roads and stop along the road for snap shots.  Come across children in their very bright uniforms on their way to schools or back. 

It is very easy and convenient to rent a car. All major airports have their car hire facilities and you can find all class of cars for your personal needs. 

It is not recommended to drive during the night. Organise your trip properly. South African roads are very well maintained but sometimes they seem endless, so calculate accordingly your travel time and distance to avoid disappointments.
