South Africa is a perfect destination for budget travel. The backpacking experience, as the lifestyle of the independent budget traveller is known, has grown enormously in South Africa since 1994. Since the political course in this country changed, more and more people worldwide are visiting South Africa. Amongst these are the independent budget travellers, people who do not want to see the country through the windows of a bus, but who would rather experience Africa hands-on.
