Thailand
Thailand is not just the setting for the Hangover sequel. As of late, it’s become a favourite holiday destination. With the vibrant capital that is Bangkok, it’s not hard to believe that so many people are flowing to the Asian country. The nightlife, striking islands, beautiful temples as well as the notorious cuisine- It’s no wonder you’d wake up with a possible hangover. A flight to Thailand could set you back R6168 and the country doesn’t require a tourist visa provided you produce confirmed return flight tickets.
Egypt
Who doesn’t want to visit the pyramids in Egypt and pretend to be Cleopatra? There’s also more to this great country than its pyramids. Try taking a dip in the Red Sea. A flight can set you back R5413
Kenya
For Starbucks lovers- you want to visit coffee plantations and tasting rooms. A flight can typically cost R5191. And no- you don’t need a tourist visa.
Tanzania
There’s more to Tanzania than housing the highest mountain in Africa. There’s Zanzibar which is essentially paradise. Looking for a more wildlife feel to your trip? Then might as well visit The Serengeti and witness wild cats feast on wildebeests. Flights cost around R3244.
