The north and the south of South Africa are like Day and Night. We recommend our guests to visit South Africa twice and thus split up the north and the south in two different holidays. Some guests really want to do the north and the south together, then we recommend to stay at least 21 days in South Africa.
Lion’s Guesthouse & Tours has a database of 100’s of establishments from Camping to 3 star accommodation to luxury lodges in South Africa.
A lot of these establishments are also owned and/or managed by Dutch or Belgian Citizens, to make it easy for the not so fluent English Speaker.
