Hello everyone,

You might be getting more and more eager for vacation, whether in South Africa, or elsewhere.
It's the perfect time to rest and rebuild your strength, or on the contrary, spend some energy doing things you love, while taking the time to enjoy your loved ones!

With the turmoil of the last few months, the next holidays will feel extra special this year, that's why we would like to know a little about your plans.

Do you have any plans for this year's holidays?

Do you have some visibility on the borders opening of your host country?

Will you stay in South Africa or go abroad?

If you stay in South Africa, what would you like to visit there? If you go abroad, where will you go?

Finally, what made you decide to go? If not, where else would you go?

Thanking you in advance for your contribution!
Have a nice day,

Loïc

If and when our borders open, hopefully before Christmas 2020, I would think a southern African holiday would be ideal for Europeans who didnt manage to get a mid year sun holiday.

After their frustrating lockdown they will be ready to travel.

At this stage (and fingers crossed) - southern Africa has had far fewer casualties from the pandemic.

They will be able to get away from their miserable winter weather.

Except for Christmas/New Year holidays our National Parks, beaches, Wilderness areas and attractions in southern Africa are less crowded making it easier and safer to "social distance".

Hopefully after this constricting pandemic travellers will be more inclined to enjoy more natural, open air surroundings, of which our area has abundance - West Coast beaches, Cedarberg Mountains Wilderness area, Drakensberg Mountains, Kgalagadi N.P., areas of Namibia, and Botswana, all spring to mind.

Keep safe.

For SA residents there are great accommodation deals at hotels and lodges throughout the country. We have a special deal at a 5 star Game Lodge in Kruger National Park that normally we wouldnt be able to afford, and I know there are bargains at Cape Town hotels
