It was voted 5th due to its dramatic scenery, fantastic hiking trails and deserted beaches that boast spectacular ocean views.

The judges of the contest were really impressed by everything that South Africa has to offer. So they decided to list the 50 places that helped SA soar to the top of the list.

These are the destinations that sparked conversation between judges and were most mentioned by our readers in their SA votes.
