Visitors to South Africa will in general find the facilities, food and hotels similar to those in Europe or the US, but this is still Africa and the opportunities to experience the African wilderness are plentiful. This is still very much a new destination for travellers and new developments are occurring all the time. The options on how and where to travel depend on the visitor, there are choices of organized tours to the national parks and historical sites, shorter package deals for scuba divers, specialist tours for ornithologists, hikers and naturalists. Independent travellers can hitch, hire a car, charter a light aircraft, go by train, make use of luxury coaches or go by the budget Baz Bus. Whichever way they go they will meet all sorts of characters and have a fun time.
