Discover South Africa: Wildlife and Outdoor Adventures

South Africa is a dream destination for nature lovers and thrill-seekers alike. The country’s world-famous Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo—can be spotted in iconic game reserves like the Kruger National Park, Addo Elephant Park, and Pilanesberg Game Reserve. Safari drives, guided bush walks, and luxury lodges offer unforgettable experiences for visitors.

If you’re an outdoor enthusiast, South Africa doesn’t disappoint. Hike the breathtaking Drakensberg Mountains, zipline through the lush forests of Tsitsikamma, or kayak along the wild waters of the Garden Route. Beach lovers can soak up the sun at Clifton Beach in Cape Town or dive with sharks in Gansbaai. For adrenaline junkies, South Africa is home to the world’s highest bridge bungee jump at Bloukrans Bridge!

With its rich wildlife, diverse landscapes, and endless opportunities for adventure, South Africa invites you to explore its natural wonders. Don’t forget to bring back a piece of Mzansi with you—something proudly local and lekker from Local is Lekker ZA!

Into The Wild

What Does “Local is Lekker” Mean?

“Local is Lekker” is a proudly South African phrase that celebrates everything homegrown. “Lekker,” a word from Afrikaans, means “nice,” “tasty,” or “awesome,” and when paired with “local,” it embodies the pride and joy we feel for products, culture, and talent rooted right here in Mzansi. At its core, this expression encourages us to embrace and support local businesses, artisans, and traditions that reflect the spirit and beauty of South Africa.

At Local is Lekker ZA, this motto is more than just a phrase—it’s a movement. We’ve made it our mission to connect you with the finest handmade products from across the country, showcasing the creativity and skill of our artisans. From unique gifts to eco-friendly homeware, every item tells a story of authenticity and local craftsmanship.
