If you thought that penguins only lived in the arctic territories, you may want to think again! Boulders Beach is located in False Bay, which is near Cape Town, and is home to nearly 3,000 African penguins. The Foxy Beach boardwalk gives you a better glimpse of the cute little penguins. Boulders Beach is a perfect place to bring the kids.

St Lucia Estuary is a settlement located in the KwaZulu-Natal province. The estuary is home to about 1,200 Nile Crocodiles and almost 800 Hippopotami. You can either admire the exotic animals, go horseback riding along the iSimangaliso Wetland Park trails, or go for a scenic kayaking trip along the estuary.

This iconic South African sculpture of Nelson Mandela was constructed out of 50 steel poles, and appears as an optical illusion from afar. The steel pole sculpture plays a vital role in South African history, and can be found in the province of KwaZulu-Natal.

The bronze beer pot monument plays a significant role in tribal Zulu culture. The seven gigantic horns represent each of the seven kings buried in the legendary valley. The 18 bronze reliefs surrounding the monument symbolize Zulu life. The monument can be found along the Valley of the Kings, in Thabazimbi.
