Online Hotel Booking in South Africa
The Republic of South Africa, as it's clear from the name, is the southernmost country in Africa. Most of the territory is occupied by plateaus (high flat areas) covered with grasslands and plains with trees. South Africa is remarkable for having 11 official languages; in fact, the number of languages spoken here is much bigger — so is the number of nationalities. This diversity gives South Africa the nickname «rainbow nation». The country's most significant feature is its various wildlife, comprising 10% of the world's fish, bird, and plant species and 6% of mammals and reptiles, as well as 2,000 marine species.
If booking a hotel in South Africa, you must consider the seasonal variations: the high (peak), shoulder, and low (off) seasons. The high season lasts from November to February, peaking in December. You can do whatever you like — hit the beaches, go on a safari or a scenic ride, or participate in various festivals. Due to the popularity of these months, accommodation and attractions should be booked well in advance.
The shoulder seasons — September to November and March to May — are the best for visiting South Africa in terms of the weather (not too cold and not too hot) and a relatively small number of tourists. Spring is the perfect time for whale-watching, and walks in the gardens that go into bloom; it is also a start of the festival season. However, South Africa can become crowded, so make sure you have reserved your stay beforehand. Autumn is the best season for touring wineyards, hiking, and spotting wildlife gathering around watering holes.
The months from May to September, comprising the low season (winter), are nice for safari (including big game spotting), whale watching, and surfing. The weather can be chilly and rainy at times, but overall, it's pleasant enough to enjoy the outdoors.
