Winter in South Africa
It tends to be cooler in South Africa during the winter months, so this is an optimal time to check out a few of the country’s interesting museums. The Iziko South African Museum can be found in Cape Town and teaches visitors about national history, while the Apartheid Museum is in the city of Johannesburg. This is also an ideal time to go on safari! Book a sedan to get you from one stop to the next while staying on budget.
