SA ranks 4th in The Telegraph's Best Countries on Earth List!
South Africa has once again earned its place among the world's top travel destinations, ranking 4th in the Telegraph Travel Awards 2025, as voted by more than 20,000 readers of the UK-based publication. This follows Cape Town being recognised as the world's best city on Earth in the cities category of the awards! The 2025 awards for the best country saw New Zealand reclaim the top spot, followed by Japan and India, with South Africa holding strong in the top five, ahead of destinations such as Greece, Australia, and the Maldives. This year's fourth position maintains South Africa's decade-long streak in the top ten, affirming its place as a world-class destination to visit. Praised for its breathtaking diversity — from Big Five safaris and dramatic road-trip coastlines to award-winning wine regions and vibrant cities — South Africa was celebrated for offering a full continent's worth of adventure in a single country. While New Zealand drew votes for its cinematic scenery and adrenaline-fuelled experiences, The Telegraph credited South Africa for its 'unforgettable wildlife, rich cultures, warm hospitality, and astonishing natural beauty — all at exceptional value for travellers.' This isn't South Africa's first brush with travel glory. In fact, it topped the list just two years ago in 2023, and its continued presence in the global spotlight signals strong momentum for the country's tourism sector, especially as more international travellers seek meaningful, off-the-beaten-path experiences. Whether it's whale-watching in Hermanus, wine tasting in Stellenbosch, hiking the Drakensberg, or simply soaking up the vibe in Cape Town, South Africa remains one of the most captivating places on earth.
