Slow travel is in and this Heritage Month, its all about rediscovering local gems. International trips sound glamorous, until you hit airport queues and the exchange rate. Meanwhile, travellers from abroad are flocking here for the beauty we sometimes overlook. Local doesnt mean boring, it means luxury, charm and authentic hospitality, without the long-haul price tag.
From exploring caves in Oudtshoorn to sipping mocktails poolside as zebras wander by in Rustenburg, South Africa offers world-class experiences at SA-friendly prices. More savings on flights means more to splurge on dining, spa treatments or guided tours.
