Drive South Africa Offers Final Summer Travel Tips

Cape Town, South Africa, January 23, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Visitors who are planning late January holidays should consider car hire in South Africa as an affordable and reliable way to experience the sights and highlights of sunny South Africa. For many visitors to South Africa, summer in the Southern Hemisphere offers a chance to escape harsh winters in the Northern parts of the world. With winter in the UK reported to be one of the coldest in recorded history, snow storms and below freezing temperatures are causing many to despair. South Africa's warm climate and good summer weather is a major draw card for travel to within this part of the world and Cape Town in particular remains one of the most popular holiday destinations year after year. Visitors who prefer to travel at their own pace rather than join a tour group are now able to consider car hire and self-drive as a way to travel through and around South Africa.

As one of the leading rental agencies in the country, Drive South Africa offers a wide range of vehicles and hire options for travellers seeking a self-drive adventure, and with a selection of vehicle types ranging from small cars ideal for city travel, all the way though to 4x4 vehicles for those who wish to venture out to some of the outdoor attractions within the country, there is something to suit all budgets and travel requirements.

While December is one of the busiest times of year for travel to South Africa, January is also a highly popular time to travel to the country, especially towards the end of the month when the weather is at its clearest and hottest, and local schools have returned – making the popular and often busy attractions such as the Table Mountain cable car, V&A Waterfront, Two Oceans Aquarium and other highlights a lot easier to visit as there are less crowds to contend with. Beaches are also much quieter, especially during week days and with so many beautiful coastal areas to choose from, including Boulders Beach and its penguin colonies, Camps Bay, Clifton, Muizenberg and Blouwberg to name but a few. The atmosphere still has the same relaxed summer feeling that has made Cape Town famous as a travel destination, ensuring a relaxing and rewarding holiday. This makes late January an ideal time to consider the advantages of car hire in Cape Town and surrounds.
