South Africa Tourism is booming as it should be. The country is laden with wondrous natural beauty and unique culture. One of the most beautiful things to see in South Africa is the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.

This 500-hectare UNESCO World Heritage site is stunning with the cultivated gardens. The estate sits on the Eastern side of Table Mountain and is a great place to start your day of hiking. Smell the flowers of the Cape area. You wouldn’t believe it’s just a little bit away from the bustling city of Cape Town.

This garden offers so many fun outdoor activities. So if you’re visiting Cape Town, you must take a day to enjoy it. Walk its majestic beauty and its awesome treetop canopy walkway. Pack a picnic and enjoy one of the local favourite spots or take a guided tour.

Nestled in the new hotbed of Croatia’s tourism are these 16 lakes. They’re connected via waterfalls, which is a definite must-see. Located in Croatia on the border of Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Plitvice Lakes National Park is a natural beauty no one should miss.

Taking a day or even several to wander the paths and see the lush vegetation and beautiful wildlife will make you understand why this park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can choose from many day tours, either Zagreb or Zadar.

The lakes are emerald green, and the amazing waterfalls are perfect for your Instagram feeds. The quiet and solitude are good for your health. Take time to stare into the crystal-clear lakes and watch the fish swim around.

America may be known for its Hollywood stars and other larger than life characters, but one of the most amazing things about the U.S. is its natural beauty. You have a wide array of choices to see but none is so profound as the Grand Canyon.

And they have a unique red hue to their trunks. This immense park is great for hiking. You can also take a scenic drive or do any number of other fun outdoor activities. This park is just another example of the wide variety of amazing natural beauty housed within the borders of the U.S.

If those destinations aren’t your cup of tea, then maybe head down to South America. Venturing the long path to reach the summit of what was once a mighty city may just be what you need. Peru’s mighty mountain city, Machu Picchu is a beautiful example of ancient civilisations.

Although it only dates to the 1400s, you can see how they lived. Backed by the stunning backdrop of the Andes mountains, it may take you a little to hike up to the top. But once you see those stunning vistas, you’ll be glad you did. Tours are available where you get to explore the site for a day.
