✈️ Travel & Leisure – Your Stories, Our Landscape
From weekend getaways to hidden hiking spots, long-distance taxi journeys to dream holidays you’re still planning — South Africa moves. And so do its people.
Welcome to the Travel & Leisure section of People RSA — a space powered by your stories, experiences, and tips about the places that have changed you, calmed you, or completely surprised you. This is not a tourism board. This is the real South African perspective: from buses and backpacks to beach huts and bushveld escapes.
Why This Space Exists
South Africa is rich with places, but even richer with people who’ve walked them. Every township has a street worth sharing. Every province has a dish, a drive, or a destination waiting to be experienced through the lens of a real person — you.
Maybe you’ve found the best magwinya stand outside Harrismith. Maybe your family does an annual road trip to Limpopo that never disappoints. Or maybe you’re dreaming of your first flight to Durban and want to share the prep. Whatever it is, this platform is for you and by you.
You don’t need to be a travel blogger to have a story. You just need to be South African — and honest.
Tell Us Where You’ve Been
People RSA wants your local travel advice. Where did you go? How was the vibe? Would you recommend it? Was it safe? Affordable? Accessible?
Some posts we’d love to see:
-
“What It’s Like Visiting Coffee Bay as a Jozi Kid”
-
“We Spent R800 on a Limpopo Weekend — Here’s How”

“Getting Stuck in the Drakensberg — and Loving It”
You don’t need a fancy camera or travel agent. You just need your voice. And if you’re nervous about writing — don’t stress. Just speak from the heart. We’ll help shape it if needed.
Why Share?
Because your story can inspire someone else’s journey.
Because someone out there is looking for a place to clear their head, take their kids, reconnect with their partner, or just break routine.
And because when you share a little bit of your world, you get to leave a mark.
Plus, every story posted here is seen by thousands. Whether you’re celebrating your hometown or warning others about a scam you faced while traveling — it matters.
