While travelling to other countries is a joy that everyone should experience at least once in their lives, getting a visa to travel to your country of choice can be a serious hassle – not to mention the fact that it adds exorbitant extra costs to your travel budget! While we may joke about our beloved ‘green mamba’ passport as having little clout in the travel world, there are a few travel destinations that don’t require South Africans to apply for a visa. Avoid the nasty paperwork and check out this list of countries South Africans can visit visa-free.
1. Peru – The Americas
Covering the largest part of the Amazon rainforest (second to Brazil), Peru offers some of the most mysterious and beautiful sites in the world.
2. Argentina – The Americas
From learning to tango to drinking some pretty spectacular wine, Argentina offers more than just night-life. The capital Buenos Aires is also renowned as one of the world’s most exhilarating cities.
3. Jamaica – Caribbean
