I would even go so far as to emigrate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After my second journey through South Africa almost four years later, I reiterate my previous statement once again. Spectacular and versatile scenery, never-ending beaches, extraordinary safari experiences, friendly and open people with excellent cuisine \u2013 all this can be found in the southernmost country of the African continent. After a good five weeks in the country, I have now compiled a list of my highlights and favourite addresses for you.<\/p>\n<p>Let us begin with two wonderful yet entirely different routes:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>The classic route<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/AsvpZ9DU5eN2\">https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/AsvpZ9DU5eN2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Highlights:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Safari through Kruger National Park<\/strong>. We slept in tents in an unfenced camp a little outside of Kruger National Park. Thirsty little monkeys, the roar of lions and countless colourful beetles kept us busy until dinner time.<\/p>\n<p>The start to the day is tough \u2013 the alarm goes off at 4:30\u00a0a.m. (this is still ok though, others are already woken at 3:30\u00a0a.m.). Then off we set: animal spotting galore!<\/p>\n<p>Not only are we lucky enough to spot the big five, we also see crocodiles, hippos, hyenas, jackals, diving vultures, birds of prey, blue ball monkeys, a black mamba, a brooding ostrich, and hornbills\u00a0\u2026 not to mention zebras, gnus, giraffes and impalas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hermanus and the Whale Crier<\/strong> Whales can be viewed from the shore here. When the muffled tones of a kelp horn can be heard in the town, then one thing is for sure: the whales are here. Between June and December, the only whale crier in the world travels around Hermanus making whale watching easier for tourists by announcing the presence of whales.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hiking on Table Mountain in Cape Town<\/strong> You will be rewarded with some of the most spectacular views in the whole of South Africa (amazing photo opportunities!). Ideally, enjoy the sunset up there with a bottle of pinotage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6745 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Blick-auf-Kapstadt-vom-Tafelberg-c_MariannaHillmer.jpg\" alt=\"South Africa Guide, Blick-auf-Kapstadt-vom-Tafelberg\" width=\"1132\" height=\"591\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Blick-auf-Kapstadt-vom-Tafelberg-c_MariannaHillmer.jpg 1132w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Blick-auf-Kapstadt-vom-Tafelberg-c_MariannaHillmer-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Blick-auf-Kapstadt-vom-Tafelberg-c_MariannaHillmer-1024x535.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Blick-auf-Kapstadt-vom-Tafelberg-c_MariannaHillmer-768x401.jpg 768w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Blick-auf-Kapstadt-vom-Tafelberg-c_MariannaHillmer-600x313.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1132px) 100vw, 1132px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1132px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1132\/591;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6745 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meininger-hotels.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Blick-auf-Kapstadt-vom-Tafelberg-c_MariannaHillmer.jpg\" alt=\"South Africa Guide, Blick-auf-Kapstadt-vom-Tafelberg\" width=\"1132\" height=\"591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Blick-auf-Kapstadt-vom-Tafelberg-c_MariannaHillmer.jpg 1132w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Blick-auf-Kapstadt-vom-Tafelberg-c_MariannaHillmer-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Blick-auf-Kapstadt-vom-Tafelberg-c_MariannaHillmer-1024x535.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Blick-auf-Kapstadt-vom-Tafelberg-c_MariannaHillmer-768x401.jpg 768w, https:\/\/m-blog.tomek.webeeline.team\/app\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Blick-auf-Kapstadt-vom-Tafelberg-c_MariannaHillmer-600x313.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1132px) 100vw, 1132px\" \/><\/noscript><\/strong><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong>A little off the beaten track<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/LXfPi6S23w42\">https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/LXfPi6S23w42<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Highlights:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Golden Gate Highlands National Park<\/strong> Trek through the park\u2019s picturesque rocky landscape, bathed in intense orange light in the evening sun (wonderful photo motifs!).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sani Pass<\/strong> Either travel via Lesotho or drive up from the South African side.
