How much time

Hi, I'll be taking my first trip to South Africa in Jan 2014 and I was wondering how much time do I need there to properly see the country?
Thanks so much!

Do your research on what you want to do, and then come back.

How much time would you need to see the U.S. properly ?

South Africa is a large country with much to offer. To my mind 3 months would be a good amount of time to cover much of what you might want to see and do. If you still need more time you could always extend your entry permit by a further 3 months.

hi kristine
as the above posters already pointed out, there is no answer to your question.
how much time do you have, what are your interests, are you going to travel on your own, to you want to self-drive, go on a tour, use public transport, when are you travelling etc. etc.

assuming that you dont have too much time, and want to see the highlights of south-africa, i think 3 weeks would be about right.

if you get back with more specific questions, i'm sure we can get more specific answers as well.

My first trip was 8 weeks,and that was a good taste..most of the 'highlights' but far from everything interesting in the country.

We have been to SA 7 times, normally for 3 or 4 weeks, we have seen about half of what we wanted to see, prioritise on what you want to see, re-post and im sure someone will be able to advise you :)
