South Africa is an amazing place to visit. It is hugely popular for its safari holidays but even if safaris are not for you, there is so much more to discover in this beautiful country.

If you are planning a trip to South Africa, why not take a little time to explore their culture and way of life before you go there. This will allow you to understand more about why and how they live and give you an insight into the kind of experiences you can expect when staying there.

There is a huge diversity of culture in South Africa with a substantial number of rural inhabitants, who lead largely impoverished lives. It is amongst these people that most of the historical cultural ways of life have survived. Many people living in urban areas speak English as well as their native tongue. 

If you are a food lover then South Africa can offer you some amazing cuisines that you may not previously have had the opportunity to taste.

The cuisine in South Africa is predominately meat based and Indian food such as curry is also widely popular.

The people can be extremely friendly and often invite you to watch them cook and are happy to talk about how they live and what their daily routine is like.
