    Tourism is a national priority and contributes signif- icantly to economic development. The national tourism sector strategy provides a blueprint for the sector to meet the growth targets contained in the new growth path. The National Department of Tourism's (NDT) strategic goals over the medium term are to: • maximise domestic tourism and foreign tourist arrivals in South Africa • expand domestic and foreign investment in the South African tourism industry • expand tourist infrastructure • improve the range and quality of tourist services • improve the tourist experience and value for money • improve research and knowledge management • contribute to growth and development and expand the tourism share of gross domestic product (GDP) • improve competitiveness and sustainability in the tourism sector • strengthen collaboration with tourist organi sations. The inflow of tourists to South Africa is the result of the success of policies aimed at entrenching South Africa’s status as a major international tourism and business events destination. The Tourism Business Index’s quarterly index produced by the Tourism Business Council of South Africa indicated that revenue per available room in the hotel sector increased by 7,9% during the first 10 months of 2014. A Statistics South Africa (StatsSA) report has found that the total income for the South Africa tourist accommo- dation industry, which includes restaurant and bar sales, grew by 7%.

  • Information Is Worthless
    Your Southern African Travel Specialist SAFARIS There is a reason why safaris are the top choice of activity in South Africa. With close to 3 million hectares of the country covered in national parks and private game reserves of varying landscapes from deserts, mountains to coastlines, there is plenty of room for creatures big and small to survive in their most natural and protected habitat. And its our pleasure and blessing to be able to witness them up close whether from the safety of a game vehicle or on foot in the company of experienced and highly qualified rangers. Accommodation options range from basic self-catering units right the way through to 5-star ultra-luxurious private lodges and plenty in-between. A brief description of the major game reserves and national parks to be found in our country follows below: RESERVES / PARKS Kruger National Park Reputed to be larger than Israel, the Kruger is South Africas most famous and largest game park. Boasting nearly 2 million hectares of diverse terrain and landscapes hosting a vast number of flora and fauna species. Established in 1898 to protect South African wildlife, the park is the flagship of other parks in the country. About 4-5 hours drive from Johannesburg, the park is an easy self-drive destination offering numerous restcamps, as well as private lodges operating within their own concessions. Being a National Park, Kruger is open to the public and driving is strictly limited to the marked roads. No off-road driving permitted unless by a licensed game vehicle within a private concession.
