5 facts about South Africa
- South Africa is known for its Mediterranean weather. So, while the temperature is cooler and the rates are lower, there is still an abundance of things to see and do.
- The Kruger National Park is a year-round destination. Winter is the Kruger’s dry season. So as the land dries, the animals congregate more at the watering holes; hence spotting the Big Five becomes a lot easier than in summer.
- Riebeek Kasteel Olive Festival: May – The olive festival takes place each year in the Swartland area of the Western Cape. Here, the Cape’s best wines and olives compete and the spectators sample the many varieties.
- Christmas in July at Madam Zingara: 28 July – This annual event is held in one of Cape Town’s favourite and most elite restaurants. The evening in interspersed with food, wine, music and a great variety of other performances. The proceeds go to charity.
- Whale Festival: September – Every year the Southern Right Whales journey into the harbours of the Cape to mate and calve before returning to the open sea. South Africa has the best land-based whale-watching areas in the world.

Madame Zingara
In 2006, Madame Zingara tragically burnt down in Cape Town. For six years it ran as an extremely popular restaurant, known for its variety and exciting innovations in food and exhibitionist performances.
But then, with the aid of a Belgium company, Mirror Paleis, Madame Zingara was revived and her incarnation took the form of a large circus tent near the V and A Waterfront in Cape Town.
Today, Madame Zingara continues to bring variety and excitement to its many patrons who return time and time again, seeking an escape into a magical, colourful world of the circus.
