Let Santa visit you in the sun. Take your family on a Christmas vacation to Africa and shake off the northern hemisphere chills.
Are you making plans already for your Christmas vacation? Why not get away from the cold and spend the time with your family in Africa.
OK, so it won’t be a white Christmas, but how about palm trees and sunshine?
African has great beaches - from the North African beaches in Morocco, Libya and Egypt which are only two or three hours by plane from most of Europe’s’ major centers - to the East African beaches of Kenya and Tanzania or the -island paradise of Zanzibar.
Spending your Christmas vacation with the family on Zanzibar would surely make everyone happy. So book early and get a good deal on your Xmas getaway.
As a South African I’m used to sweltering Christmas Vacations, which often turn into days spent on the beach or around the pool or on cool mountain slopes. Camping and caravaning are big and this is when you’ll see the outdoor nature of South Africans as they spend a lot of time having picnics and barbeques – called “braais”.
Many South Africans have an open air Christmas lunch or a “braai” while others cook the more traditional European or American feasts of Turkey, chicken, glazed hams and a variety of roast meats and vegetables.
Xmas in South Africa is right in the middle of the long summer holidays. All the schools are closed and many people are on leave from their jobs.
Southern Africa has a host of perfect destinations for Christmas Vacation packages and excursions like Malawi, Botswana, Namibia, Swaziland and Mozambique and you’ll be guaranteed to return home with a great tan.
