“Is South Africa really for me?”

We hear this question often, and as Crafted Escapes’ Africa experts are here to say: YES, it absolutely is! Let’s bust some of the common myths and show you why South Africa should be at the top of your travel list.

🌍 Myth #1: South Africa is just safaris and I don’t want to do that everyday.
Truth: While safaris are life-changing, South Africa is also home to vibrant cities like Cape Town, world-class wineries in Stellenbosch, and breathtaking coastal towns.

🌍 Myth #2: It’s too remote or rugged.
Truth: SouthAfrica offers luxurious accommodations that rival anywhere in the world—from private lodges in the heart of the Kruger National Park to chic boutique hotels in Cape Town and the winelands. You can also add on the beach: Mozambique and the Seychelles are quick flights!

🌍 Myth #3: It’s too far & too expensive
Truth: there are non-stops from Atlanta, Washington and New York! The dollar goes really far in South Africa and compared to other African countries, the Safari lodge costing is much lower.

✨ Still wondering if South Africa is for you? We have experienced it firsthand and are ready to help you discover its magic.
