If you prefer being outdoors, here’s what you shouldn’t miss. Every year, as spring breaks over the coastal town of Hermanus, hordes of Southern Right Whales grace the shores of Walker Bay. Take a trip during the months of September and October to celebrate this Whale Festival along with adventure sports like shark cage diving or kayak rides.
Alternatively, you could sign up for the Cape Town Cycle Tour, a festival of South Africa that started out as a protest initiative in 1978 and now attracts nearly 35,000 cyclists from all over the world. It’s usually held in March.
Of all the events in South Africa, this is possibly the most unique. Travel to Lesotho, a mountain enclave within South Africa, for a weekend of music art and dozens of ski slopes. The Afrikinsi Winterfest, as it is known, is usually held during the month of August.
