The only problem you might have is choosing what to fit into your itinerary, but we have a few recommendations. There's the famous Garden Route on the southern coast, the towering Drakensberg Mountains, the Wild Coast of Kwa-Zulu Natal, the wildlife-rich Kruger National Park, and the home of the Hominid: the Cradle of Humankind just outside Johannesburg.
