South Africa Accommodation - The Perfect Holiday Destination
In South Africa there are many things to do. In fact it should probably be called a tourist’s paradise. Not only are the activities versatile but they are very typical to the South African lifestyle.
The country has a picturesque coast line and the landscape, both on the coast and inland, changes drastically as one travels the country.
Ultimately, South Africa is a thrilling destination suitable for singles, couples, romantics, families and groups. With its diverse culture and wide range of activities one is only limited by one’s imagination.
South African Weather
A subtropical location, moderated by ocean on three sides of the country and the altitude of the interior plateau, account for the warm temperate conditions so typical of South Africa - and so popular with its foreign visitors.
South Africa is famous for its sunshine. It's a relatively dry country, with an average annual rainfall of about 464mm (compared to a world average of about 860mm). While the Western Cape gets most of its rainfall in winter, the rest of the country is generally a summer-rainfall region.
South African history – at a glance
(Book Your South African Accommodation Online, Near Historical Landmarks)
In 1652 Jan van Riebeeck, a Dutchman working for the HOIK (Dutch East Indian Company) settled in the Cape of storms. Before the Dutch and consequently the French, Germans and the British came to South Africa the population in the Cape consisted mainly of a group of people called “Hottentots”.
In the 1700’s a group of farmers called the “trek Boers” started pushing northwards where they met a diversity of cultures and people.
The Cape Colony was granted representative legislature in 1853 and self-government in 1872. Between these two dates, a dramatic new element was introduced to the economic, and consequently political, balance - the discovery of diamonds and subsequent establishment of Kimberley.
For the first time it became evident that there was wealth for the taking in the subcontinent. Rival claims by the Orange Free State, the ZAR and Nicholas Waterboer, chief of the West Griquas - a community of mixed race - were defeated and the area was incorporated into the Cape Colony in1880.
Three years later, when gold was discovered on the Witwatersrand, President Paul Kruger presided over a financial turnaround of spectacular proportions - but he also saw a serious threat to Afrikaner independence develop as huge numbers of newcomers, mostly British, descended on the gold fields.
To cut a long story short – The Boer war erupted between the British and the Boers. Initially the Boers were triumphant and General Jan Smuts, who had been Kruger's state attorney, eventually led his troops to within 190km of Cape Town - and in response Lord Kitchener adopted a scorched-earth policy and set up racially separate civilian concentration camps in which some 26 000 Boer women and children and 14 000 black and coloured people were to die in appalling conditions.
The war ended in Boer defeat at the Peace of Vereeniging in 1902.
When the Union of South Africa came into being on 31 May 1910, the only province with a non-racial franchise was the Cape, and blacks were barred from being members of parliament. Of the estimated 6 million inhabitants of the Union in that year, 67% were black African, 9% coloured and 2,5% Asian.
From the 1930’s developments in the ANC symbolically marked the start of what was to be nearly 50 years of head-to-head conflict between that organisation and the Nationalist Party. In April 1944 the ANC Youth League was formed. Its first president was AM Lembede (who died three years later); Nelson Mandela was its secretary. Oliver Tambo and Walter Sisulu were among those who came to the fore as the influence of the Youth League in the broader ANC increased. The Nationalist Party, however, was gathering strength and, in a surprise result, gained power in the 1948 election - power that it would not relinquish until 1994. Apartheid became official government ideology.
Three decades of political crisis followed in South Africa. The country was ostracized by the rest of the world.
1989 was the year in which the logjam started to break up. Negotiations had been entered into between Mandela and PW Botha, but these were secret. Dissension within the Nationalist Party, in combination with Botha's ill health, led to his resignation, and he was replaced by FW de Klerk.
After an election in September, De Klerk released Walter Sisulu and seven other political prisoners.
South Africa's first democratic election was held on 26, 27 and 28 April 1994, with victory going to the ANC in an alliance with the Communist Party and Cosatu. Nelson Mandela was sworn in as President on May 10 with FW de Klerk and the ANC's Thabo Mbeki as Deputy Presidents.
Here we are today... a democracy. South Africa can now truly be called: "The Rainbow Nation".

Be sure to visit the Voortrekker Monument in Pretoria. This is a huge granite structure, erected in memory of the "Groot Trek" (Big trek) which the Boers undertook from the Cape. "Die Kasteel" (The Castle) is the fort which was built by Jan van Riebeeck in Cape Town and a "must see" for visitors in Cape Town. The Union Buildings in Pretoria is also a beautiful piece of architecture and is used by members of parliament. The "Big Hole" in Kimberley is probably the biggest open diamond mine in the world. Although it isn't operational any more it is an awesome sight. Gold Reef City in Johannesburg pays tribute to the gold miners of old. It has a very nice theme park which can be enjoyed by all members of the family. Ushaka Marine World in Durban is also a place to visit with lots of things to do for the whole family.
