Brits can visit stunning wildlife reserves, vineyards and sweeping beaches in South Africa for a fraction of the price as this time last year.
Over the past six months the value of the rand against the pound has dropped significantly, with the British currency currently the strongest it's ever been in the country.
As worrying as this is for people living in South Africa, one very small silver lining is that the drop has given its tourism sector a major boost.
The only significant drawback is that it isn't cheap getting to the base of the African continent, as 11 hour direct flights from the UK regularly cost upwards of £600.
Once there however accommodation, travel, food and drink costs a lot less than a year ago.
If you're thinking of ticking it off the bucket list then you're in luck as Discover Africa just shared their top five experiences to have on your radar for an adventure...
