The South African passport enjoys visa-free and visa-on-arrival policies with 97 countries. However, we’re narrowing this list down to the top ten Visa Free African Countries to vacation to without worrying about all the paper work.
If you hold a South African passport, then consider these holiday destinations:
1. Maldives
This stunning archipelago in the Indian Ocean is a dream destination for many, what with its white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. Airlines from South Africa can get you there via the Middle East.
2. South America
South Africans can enter almost this entire continent without a visa – Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela will all welcome you.
3. South Korea
A land of rich landscapes, busy nightlife and rich Asian cultural history, South Korea may not always be the holiday destination of choice but it has more to offer than most people think.
4. Hong Kong
This Far East cosmopolitan haven is not only a shiny city with bright lights, but also houses its very own Disneyland.
5. Singapore
One of the richest countries in the world, this tiny Asian island still remains quite a big city. Man-made Sentosa Island, with resorts and an array of amusement parks – including Universal Studios – has enough attractions for people of all ages to enjoy.
6. Seychelles
Another gem of an island that is perfect if you need to make a getaway to a tranquil beach and soak up some Vitamin D while enjoying spectacular views and some easy living.
7. Thailand
Delicious cuisine, monks and temples, tiger sanctuaries and the largest open-air market shopping scene in the world. In many ways, Thailand is a country that has it all.
8. Indonesia
One of the largest countries in the world, this collection of islands, including beautiful Bali, has enough beaches with white sand and deeply entrenched cultural traditions to fascinate every traveller.
9. Malaysia
From the busy streets of Kuala Lumpur to even more smaller breakaway islands with pretty views, Malaysia is an incredible country to be able to visit.
10. Mauritius
Only a four-hour flight away from Johannesburg, this little island always promises welcoming beaches and lots of sunshine.
