South Africa travel itinerary for beginner surfers
Post contents
Introduction
Before going to South Africa, I spent hours researching routes, surf spots, and all the must-see stops. I knew I wanted to experience the country’s iconic landscapes and wildlife, but I also really wanted to surf. As a beginner, though, I wasn’t sure where I’d actually feel comfortable in the water.
After lots of research I created my own South Africa travel itinerary. I pieced together a route that included some of the country’s most popular highlights but added a slight detour here and there to catch beginner-friendly waves. It wasn’t planned down to the minute, but it ended up being a great balance of surf, travel, nature, and chill.
If you’re a beginner surfer, or traveling with one, maybe my travel itinerary can give you some ideas for your own trip.

I spent 5 weeks in South Africa over Christmas and New Years together with my boyfriend. We travelled around the country, surfed at different beginner surf spots and saw some of the country’s most famous and beautiful attractions that I want to share with you if you’re also planning a trip to South Africa.
In this South Africa travel itinerary I have put together:
- The route we travelled and the number of days we stayed in each place
- What accommodations we stayed at
- What activities you can do in each place
- A breakdown of costs and what the trip cost in total (flights, accommodation, and car rental)
- What I would have done differently (not much, to be honest)
