Enchanting and captivating, from deserts to verdant forests, stunning mountains to rumbling waterfalls, chic city living to ancient arts, South Africa is a wonderful destination for travellers of all tastes.

Book a low–cost, last–minute flight for South Africa and experience the holiday of your dreams. Perhaps you’re after a lazy, chilled beach holiday – several of the country’s beaches along the spectacular coastline have Blue Flag status. For example, Umhlanga Rocks, near Durban has rock pools to explore, good swimming areas and a working lighthouse.

For a more up–market beach experience, try Clifton on the Western Cape where beautiful sands intersperse with large boulders and a glitzy millionaire or two. It’s South Africa’s waterfront version of Nob Hill.

Tuxedo–wearing inhabitants of a different kind, black and white African penguins, occupy Boulders Beach, which is part of the Cape Peninsula National Park. Or nature lovers might also enjoy some whale watching at Grotto Beach in Hermanus or taking long walks amongst the sandy dunes and black rocks of beaches around East London.

Whether grabbing a last–minute flight to South Africa for a beach break, cultural tour or a more active break, Opodo’s personal online travel service can help you tailor your South Africa trips.
