South Africa is the best in the World food, homes, lifestyle happy people .beautiful views .
My heart is my home in south Africa ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It was on Magic 828 ( South African radio station ) news that South Africa was voted the friendliest country as far as tourism goes. Love Cape Town.
As for "happy people" I strongly disagree
Montagu should be on this list, as well as Kaapschehoop. And Nottingham Road. But frankly, there are LOADS of magic little towns in South Africa. It's a road-tripper's dream.
Also Dullstroom
What about Magogganoppies!
Also Riebeek-Kasteel
I am often amazed at the arrogant intolerance of people. Whoever made this, obviously made an effort to promote the country, to encourage in all probability foreigners to explore certain towns which may not necessarily be on the A tourism list. Publications such as these may cause some tourist to rather visit any of the towns in the video than other towns which are regularly visited and contribute towards the economy of such town. The name of the town is visually reflected, so although the pronunciation may be incorrect, it could still without effort be found. One should rather appreciate and applaud the effort by the editor and publisher to promote which is an obviously foreign country, than to criticize pronunciation.
You obviously don't know Afrikaans. It is just plain disrespectful to pronounce Genadendal in the way the narrator did.
These towns are all dying .
Effort could easily have been made to find correct pronunciation. Arrogant of these people to think it is OK to just f it up so completely.
@@Bond78605Thanks to the racist ANC government 👌honestly we just swapped extremes but now everyone suffering
The pronunciation is so bad it will hamper communication should tourists use it that way in SA unless they present the written form.
South Africa what a beaitiful place❤
Thank you
SouthAfrica is beautiful place ❤❤❤❤
South Africa is indeed beautiful. Thank you for the reminder. Lady Grey is one of my favourite towns. And Clarens. You focused mostly on the Western Cape and rightly so. However, there are very pretty little towns in other provinces too.
Kaapsehoop in Mpumalanga is an amazing town to visit, I recently stayed there over New Years. Such a peaceful town to visit. It's gracefulness is amazing! The town also has a lot of history. Also may want to think of visiting Barberton, also in Mpumalanga, you'll spend a few days exploring all of it's monuments and surrounds!
Some towns are not pronounced correctly...How about.. Paarl... Can you pronounce that one..?
Good vid!! Many gems of SouthAfrican towns😀👍
Shocking pronounciation of names though...
ja nee
No good video not only small town on tje coast but lots also inland. He never been here obviously
Ek't lekker gelag vir sy uitspraak van Genadendal! Lol
To name a few of my favourite :
1. Tiffendale in Rhodes - EC, the second highest peak ski resort in the world
2. Port Alfred - EC
3. St. Francis Bay - EC
4. Clarens - FS
5. Oudtshoorn , Klein Karoo - WC
6. Haartebeesport - NW
7. Port Shepston - KZN
8. Port St.Johns - EC
9. Kysna - WC
10. Grahamstown - EC
I reaallly need a holiday in Western Cape again. Haven't been there since 2006😢😢
Matjiesrivier Valley is stunning. It is situated at the foothills of the Swartberg Mountains. A hidden gem!
Franschhoek, Houtbay and Stellenbosch are my 3 favorite
Im so bless 2 stay in Cape Town and can go visit them anytime I want
Try also Winterton or Bergville in KZN.
I also like knysna and Plettenberg's Bay
For all the moaners here: This video is made for potential tourists, not South Africans. Do you think that foreigners care about the pronunciation? Be grateful that our country is getting wonderful exposure.
To add a few more:
- Dullstroom
- Hoedspruit
- Skukuza
- St Lucia
- Hluhluwe
- Kosi Bay
- Kenton on Sea
- Wilderness
- Swellendam
- Grabouw
- Parys
- Bela-Bela
- Clarens
- Port Alfred
- Mtunzini
- Langebaan
And Bethehem
You must PLEASE get someone to correctly say the names of the places..!....!
Seriously though, I'm glad he is highlighting small SA towns but he's butching the pronunciations
Like you pronounce all the South African names correctly.
Please please get someone to teach this gentleman to pronounce the names of the towns correctly ! It’s painful to listen to 😢
Forgive him he is in the foreign country, it's a pity he didn't look for a SAn to help him with pronunciation. Otherwise it's a good video 😊
It's an AI.
In Greyton you get a two for one special in a smaller town just 5km away. GENADENDAL, a historically significant place in South Africa. Truly another gem in the crown of the Overberg region
Wilderness and all the small towns on the Garden Route are beautiful
Hermanus is my favorite place in the world.
Parys is so full of culture and the Vaal river is awesome. Love the restaurant there clled O's, great food great gardens on the banks of the Vaal
Glad to say I have visited at least 6 of these towns during my travels over the years . Yes I covered all 9 provinces ..
Hi...people around the world im saadia from southafrica thank to the narator for showcasing our beautiful hidden gems in south Africa 🇿🇦
You missed alot of small towns in SA. SA has 9 provinces and I just hear about western cape and Eastern cape. Wish you could accommodate other provinces in SA❤
Cause he doesnt know south africa never been here. Just want to make bs videos.
I'm rather taken aback that he did not include Wakkerstroom in Mpumalanga, Mtunzini in KZN, or Zeerust in North West. But then, as some South Africans have commented, he does not seem to be familiar with our lovely little towns.
@@thembadube9589 exactly. How can a person that dont know much make a video like this. Im from zeerust its small and hot as hell. Then 40km towards gauteng is magaliesburg, swartruggens, derby etc. All small towns. In the 80's my husband worked for spoornet in zeerust I came to east london 5 years ago and zst was still nearly the same. What about nietverdiend on route to botswana? Theres so many towns not only on the south coast
I would like to know the 9 provinces in south Africa.
Clanwilliam - Home of the late comedian Tolle Van Der Merwe. Beautiful Place
Tolla
Knysna look it up ❤❤
Beautiful
Not any more 😢
Dullstroom, Kaapsehoop, Heanertsburg, Hoedspruit, Haartebeespoort, Clarens
This guy knows nothing
Haenertsburg /Magoebaskloof definitely needs to be mentioned here.
Thankyou for a beautiful video. Especially the pictures of churches. ❤❤
Thanks for the effort❤
One place you did miss and should visit is McGregor 20kms from Robertson in Western Cape!
He missed a ton of towns what about inland eg magaliesburg in nw. Thats when they want to make bs videos but know nothing
I Agree 100%
Franschhoek is my favourite
Thank you for this as a South African I was amazed to see this. Thank you once more
Beautiful
Nice place❤❤
Graskop, sabie, hazyview, Middelburg
St Helena Bay, Western Cape. Stunning little town. You'll be surprised what history you'll find there 😊. Put it on your list for your next visit.
Wonderful!!!
Hoedspruit, Magoebaskloof and Haenertsburg are lovely small towns too :)
My home town Haenertsburg/Magoebaskloof.
Did you visit places like Dullstroom and Clarence? Cape town and evirement is awesome but there is a lot to see through the whole South Africa.
+ Haenertsburg
Loved watching this. Very informative
I love South Africa. Best in the world
🎉❤ South Africa is Most Amazing👌‼️♥️
Franschoek, Tulbagh, Hermanus, Prince Albert, Pilgrim's Rest, Jeffreysbay, Graaff Reinet, Grayton, Clan William, Genedendal/Byvans Cliff
Your spelling!?
I love dtoitskloof area lovely rivers and forest
South Africa what beautiful place
Graaff-Reinet my hometown
I hope to hell he doesn't try to pronounce it!
This looks incredible 🔥🔥❤️
Nice places ❤
Another hidden gem that no tourists have heard of is the West Coast. Yzerfontein, Langebaan, Paternoster, Jacobsbaai and many more. Places like !Khwa ttu, the fossil park, etc where a person can learn all about the San people - the story of humankind. Seems like few South Africans visit this incredibly beautiful part of the country which is just an hour drive from Cape Town.
I prefer it keep it that way 😊
Don't forget on the Westcoast , Laaiplek & Veldrift❤❤
Great video!
Beautiful production!
I was expecting a solely Western Cape centric video but was happy to see Mpumalanga and EC make the list. I know WC is far ahead since they managed to preserve it properly but there are cool other towns in other provinces. Also, crazy how Eastern Cape would've been on par with Cape Town if it had a good government running it lol oh well.
Still Western Cape centric.
@@lyznav9439 true unfortunately but it shows how well kept and gorgeous WC is in general.
Nothing 'far ahead' about the WC stop fooling yourself
@@mazibukomailYes it is, very far ahead, roads and infrastructure maintained and safe, unlike most small towns where the ANC governs
@@pietervorster5690 it's easy to be far ahead when all the money is spent on white areas and you neglect black and coloured areas
Clarence is an amazing place to see and the safety is super amazing and also Paraise
we are blessed in the Western cape with about 7/10 from this list and the others close by in the Eastern Cape just over the province line like J-Bay, Prince Albert. I 'm happy to have visited every town on the list North and South . I love my country and count every blessing.
Great Video. Thank you so much for doing this for South Africa. Yes there are many small towns throughout South Africa so perhaps it would be an idea to do Province by Province. The Vaal River areas do have lovely quaint towns too. Thank you again.
Lovely video. Stellenbosch is also a beautiful town as well as Paarl.
Yes I’ve been to Greyton stayed with a family friend. Very nice little town friendly people.
Try visit Queenstown and Engcobo
Thanks for showing these towns.
There are many more that are unknown because South africa doesn't show these towns, like Hendrina, Emelo, Margate, Portshepstone, Tongaat, Richardsbay, Stanger , Eshowe, Melmoth, New Castle, Ladysmith, and many more.
Amazing videos 👌
South Africa is such a beautiful country and its people there are many unvisited little gems ,so if you are from any of these please provide the names and province may be travel insights will come back and show them, and help him with the pronunciation,thank you for show casing our beautiful land
We more great towns around which are not featured on this video but will wait on the next one to see more😊
I am A tour Driver from Namibia. I like franshoek
Warden in Freestate province is one of the most memorable and beautiful small towns I have ever seen
Kaapsche Hoop is a must. Wild horses wander in the countryside and streets. Coffee shops and other quaint places.
❤very😊 beautiful small towns but I like Richard's bay with their sea breeze.
Paternoster
Montage……Robertson…..Langebaan…….Ceres……just to mention a few should be on this list……those you have are good choices…… beautiful country…!!!
There are too many small towns in SA. There are probably more than 300 towns in SA.
Makhanda
Port Alfred
Robertson
Oudtshoorn
Thanks for the info. You missed out Wellington. Some of my old friends are from there & I was hoping that their town might be in the top ten. Maybe be you need to have another video with the top 20 & see if it will appear on the list. Anyway, all the towns look to have been well planned & they look to be well maintained
❤ nyce towns I am staying in one of them name Tulbagh
Route 62 small towns, Barrydale and Ladismith, Western Cape
Pilgrim rest.
Tzaneen and surrounding farms and mountains
I realy feel embarassed, just when I thought I had realy travelled the country, after watching this Documentary I feel I have more travelling to do with my life. Thank You

Clanwilliam is known for Rooibos tea!! Sederberg region and lovely boere mense....
Graaff-Reinet
My mother's name is Claudette nickname claud and dad's name is George I grew up in pearston most of my dad's family is from graaff reinette I have sweet memories of graaff reinette especially when it's rains in graaff you can smell the earth
I spent the weekend there a few years back and I was blown away by its beauty .
Grahamstown is also full of historical sightd
These are predominantly the small towns in the Western Cape. There are lots more in other Provinces as well e.g. Clarence, Parys, Dullstroom, St Francis Bay (the latter maybe not a small town but worth visiting)....
Very well represented and beautiful scenery shown of these lovely and picturesque towns.Some might find the pronouncements of the towns a little different but it was well documented and presented by a foreigner and Afrikaans is definitely Not part of his vocabulary but did an outstanding job nonetheless
See Dulstroom, Clarens, Swellendam, Paternoster, Riebeeck Kasteel ... many more
Rhodes in the easten cape, hippie town many years back, cecil john rhodes started the town, the tiffendale ski resort is up on the mountain joining lesotho border
Barberton is a small town established in the 1800 in Mpumalanga visit and the beauty of thoe gold mines
Port St John, Maboneng Johannesburg, Mahikeng, Rustenburg, Polokwane
Try Dullstroom in Mpumalanga also...
Some of the imagery used for Genadendal is not actually in Genadendal. I lived and worked there for 2 years. Also, you should mention that Genadendal and Greyton are 5 minutes apart. You shouldnt visit the one without seeing the other
Clearance free state
Also Magaliesberg..💯
Magaliesburg.
Check out the small town called Tzaneen in Limpopo
Greyton
What about Knysna? A coastal town in the Western Cape
Cullinhamnesr Pretoria in Gauteng, , where the biggest gem quality diamond was found.
Watervalb0ven and Wstervalondrr in Mpumalamga.
You left out the most beautiful and significant town, Barberton in mpumalanga
And Worcester,De Doorns,Ceres,Montagu,Ashton,Robertson,Barrydale ?
Port Alfred Eastern Cape👌👌👌
St.Francis bay 🌄👍
They should've added it, that's a beautiful small town
You left many beautiful towns in KZN
KZN is a shithole
Piketberg should also be listed.
These Small towns in South Africa do they have camping sites BCAUSE we are planning a trip to visit all these places in August and September this year
The Western Cape is full of beautiful camping areas. All over Cape Town. All the Garden route like Knysna and Plettenberg Bay.
I am surprised Underberg at the foothills of Drakensberg in Kwa-Zulu Natal never made the list. It is quite a charming dorpie.
Hogsback, Nieu Bethesda, Kenton-on- Sea, McGregor, Paternoster, Grahamstown…
Henley On Klip should be on your list....Orania is lekker too.
