Montagu should be on this list, as well as Kaapschehoop. And Nottingham Road. But frankly, there are LOADS of magic little towns in South Africa. It's a road-tripper's dream.
Also Dullstroom
What about Magogganoppies!
Also Riebeek-Kasteel
SouthAfrica is beautiful place ❤❤❤❤
South Africa what a beaitiful place❤
Thank you
Good vid!! Many gems of SouthAfrican towns😀👍
Shocking pronounciation of names though...
ja nee
No good video not only small town on tje coast but lots also inland. He never been here obviously
Ek't lekker gelag vir sy uitspraak van Genadendal! Lol
I am often amazed at the arrogant intolerance of people. Whoever made this, obviously made an effort to promote the country, to encourage in all probability foreigners to explore certain towns which may not necessarily be on the A tourism list. Publications such as these may cause some tourist to rather visit any of the towns in the video than other towns which are regularly visited and contribute towards the economy of such town. The name of the town is visually reflected, so although the pronunciation may be incorrect, it could still without effort be found. One should rather appreciate and applaud the effort by the editor and publisher to promote which is an obviously foreign country, than to criticize pronunciation.
You obviously don't know Afrikaans. It is just plain disrespectful to pronounce Genadendal in the way the narrator did.
These towns are all dying .
Effort could easily have been made to find correct pronunciation. Arrogant of these people to think it is OK to just f it up so completely.
@@Riyaz168Thanks to the racist ANC government 👌honestly we just swapped extremes but now everyone suffering
The pronunciation is so bad it will hamper communication should tourists use it that way in SA unless they present the written form.
South Africa is indeed beautiful. Thank you for the reminder. Lady Grey is one of my favourite towns. And Clarens. You focused mostly on the Western Cape and rightly so. However, there are very pretty little towns in other provinces too.
Matjiesrivier Valley is stunning. It is situated at the foothills of the Swartberg Mountains. A hidden gem!
Kaapsehoop in Mpumalanga is an amazing town to visit, I recently stayed there over New Years. Such a peaceful town to visit. It's gracefulness is amazing! The town also has a lot of history. Also may want to think of visiting Barberton, also in Mpumalanga, you'll spend a few days exploring all of it's monuments and surrounds!
Some towns are not pronounced correctly...How about.. Paarl... Can you pronounce that one..?
Franschhoek, Houtbay and Stellenbosch are my 3 favorite
Im so bless 2 stay in Cape Town and can go visit them anytime I want
Try also Winterton or Bergville in KZN.
I also like knysna and Plettenberg's Bay
Thank you for this as a South African I was amazed to see this. Thank you once more
You must PLEASE get someone to correctly say the names of the places..!....!
Seriously though, I'm glad he is highlighting small SA towns but he's butching the pronunciations
Like you pronounce all the South African names correctly.
Please please get someone to teach this gentleman to pronounce the names of the towns correctly ! It’s painful to listen to 😢
Forgive him he is in the foreign country, it's a pity he didn't look for a SAn to help him with pronunciation. Otherwise it's a good video 😊
It's an AI.
For all the moaners here: This video is made for potential tourists, not South Africans. Do you think that foreigners care about the pronunciation? Be grateful that our country is getting wonderful exposure.
Hermanus is my favorite place in the world.
To name a few of my favourite :
1. Tiffendale in Rhodes - EC, the second highest peak ski resort in the world
2. Port Alfred - EC
3. St. Francis Bay - EC
4. Clarens - FS
5. Oudtshoorn , Klein Karoo - WC
6. Haartebeesport - NW
7. Port Shepston - KZN
8. Port St.Johns - EC
9. Kysna - WC
10. Grahamstown - EC
I reaallly need a holiday in Western Cape again. Haven't been there since 2006😢😢
Dullstroom, Kaapsehoop, Heanertsburg, Hoedspruit, Haartebeespoort, Clarens
This guy knows nothing
Haenertsburg /Magoebaskloof definitely needs to be mentioned here.
Parys is so full of culture and the Vaal river is awesome. Love the restaurant there clled O's, great food great gardens on the banks of the Vaal
Hi...people around the world im saadia from southafrica thank to the narator for showcasing our beautiful hidden gems in south Africa 🇿🇦
In Greyton you get a two for one special in a smaller town just 5km away. GENADENDAL, a historically significant place in South Africa. Truly another gem in the crown of the Overberg region
Graskop, sabie, hazyview, Middelburg
Knysna look it up ❤❤
Beautiful
Not any more 😢
Clarence is an amazing place to see and the safety is super amazing and also Paraise
Franschhoek is my favourite
Glad to say I have visited at least 6 of these towns during my travels over the years . Yes I covered all 9 provinces ..
Thankyou for a beautiful video. Especially the pictures of churches. ❤❤
Clanwilliam - Home of the late comedian Tolle Van Der Merwe. Beautiful Place
Tolla
Thanks for the effort❤
To add a few more:

- Skukuza
- St Lucia
- Hluhluwe
- Kosi Bay
- Kenton on Sea
- Wilderness
- Swellendam
- Grabouw
- Parys
- Bela-Bela
- Clarens
- Port Alfred
- Mtunzini
- Langebaan
And Bethehem
Yes I’ve been to Greyton stayed with a family friend. Very nice little town friendly people.
You missed alot of small towns in SA. SA has 9 provinces and I just hear about western cape and Eastern cape. Wish you could accommodate other provinces in SA❤
Cause he doesnt know south africa never been here. Just want to make bs videos.
I'm rather taken aback that he did not include Wakkerstroom in Mpumalanga, Mtunzini in KZN, or Zeerust in North West. But then, as some South Africans have commented, he does not seem to be familiar with our lovely little towns.
@@thembadube9589 exactly. How can a person that dont know much make a video like this. Im from zeerust its small and hot as hell. Then 40km towards gauteng is magaliesburg, swartruggens, derby etc. All small towns. In the 80's my husband worked for spoornet in zeerust I came to east london 5 years ago and zst was still nearly the same. What about nietverdiend on route to botswana? Theres so many towns not only on the south coast
I would like to know the 9 provinces in south Africa.
Graaff-Reinet my hometown
I hope to hell he doesn't try to pronounce it!
St Helena Bay, Western Cape. Stunning little town. You'll be surprised what history you'll find there 😊. Put it on your list for your next visit.
Beautiful
Makhanda
Port Alfred
Robertson
Oudtshoorn
One place you did miss and should visit is McGregor 20kms from Robertson in Western Cape!
He missed a ton of towns what about inland eg magaliesburg in nw. Thats when they want to make bs videos but know nothing
I Agree 100%
🎉❤ South Africa is Most Amazing👌‼️♥️
Nice place❤❤
Hoedspruit, Magoebaskloof and Haenertsburg are lovely small towns too :)
My home town Haenertsburg/Magoebaskloof.
Franschoek, Tulbagh, Hermanus, Prince Albert, Pilgrim's Rest, Jeffreysbay, Graaff Reinet, Grayton, Clan William, Genedendal/Byvans Cliff
Your spelling!?
Another hidden gem that no tourists have heard of is the West Coast. Yzerfontein, Langebaan, Paternoster, Jacobsbaai and many more. Places like !Khwa ttu, the fossil park, etc where a person can learn all about the San people - the story of humankind. Seems like few South Africans visit this incredibly beautiful part of the country which is just an hour drive from Cape Town.
I prefer it keep it that way 😊
Don't forget on the Westcoast , Laaiplek & Veldrift❤❤
Wonderful!!!
Loved watching this. Very informative
I love South Africa. Best in the world
South Africa what beautiful place
Nice places ❤
Did you visit places like Dullstroom and Clarence? Cape town and evirement is awesome but there is a lot to see through the whole South Africa.
+ Haenertsburg
Great video!
This looks incredible 🔥🔥❤️
I am A tour Driver from Namibia. I like franshoek
Paternoster
Graaff-Reinet
My mother's name is Claudette nickname claud and dad's name is George I grew up in pearston most of my dad's family is from graaff reinette I have sweet memories of graaff reinette especially when it's rains in graaff you can smell the earth
I spent the weekend there a few years back and I was blown away by its beauty .
Thanks for showing these towns.
There are many more that are unknown because South africa doesn't show these towns, like Hendrina, Emelo, Margate, Portshepstone, Tongaat, Richardsbay, Stanger , Eshowe, Melmoth, New Castle, Ladysmith, and many more.
Beautiful production!
Pilgrim rest.
See Dulstroom, Clarens, Swellendam, Paternoster, Riebeeck Kasteel ... many more
Try visit Queenstown and Engcobo
I was expecting a solely Western Cape centric video but was happy to see Mpumalanga and EC make the list. I know WC is far ahead since they managed to preserve it properly but there are cool other towns in other provinces. Also, crazy how Eastern Cape would've been on par with Cape Town if it had a good government running it lol oh well.
Still Western Cape centric.
@@lyznav9439 true unfortunately but it shows how well kept and gorgeous WC is in general.
Nothing 'far ahead' about the WC stop fooling yourself
@@mazibukomailYes it is, very far ahead, roads and infrastructure maintained and safe, unlike most small towns where the ANC governs
@@pietervorster5690 it's easy to be far ahead when all the money is spent on white areas and you neglect black and coloured areas
Warden in Freestate province is one of the most memorable and beautiful small towns I have ever seen
we are blessed in the Western cape with about 7/10 from this list and the others close by in the Eastern Cape just over the province line like J-Bay, Prince Albert. I 'm happy to have visited every town on the list North and South . I love my country and count every blessing.
Great Video. Thank you so much for doing this for South Africa. Yes there are many small towns throughout South Africa so perhaps it would be an idea to do Province by Province. The Vaal River areas do have lovely quaint towns too. Thank you again.
We more great towns around which are not featured on this video but will wait on the next one to see more😊
Greyton
Clearance free state
❤very😊 beautiful small towns but I like Richard's bay with their sea breeze.
Route 62 small towns, Barrydale and Ladismith, Western Cape
Tzaneen and surrounding farms and mountains
There are too many small towns in SA. There are probably more than 300 towns in SA.
Kaapsche Hoop is a must. Wild horses wander in the countryside and streets. Coffee shops and other quaint places.
And wot about Riebeek Kasteel ook n mooi vallei
Thanks for the info. You missed out Wellington. Some of my old friends are from there & I was hoping that their town might be in the top ten. Maybe be you need to have another video with the top 20 & see if it will appear on the list. Anyway, all the towns look to have been well planned & they look to be well maintained
Port St John, Maboneng Johannesburg, Mahikeng, Rustenburg, Polokwane
And Worcester,De Doorns,Ceres,Montagu,Ashton,Robertson,Barrydale ?
I realy feel embarassed, just when I thought I had realy travelled the country, after watching this Documentary I feel I have more travelling to do with my life. Thank You
PLease make videos about capital cities for every province, and video about the most industrial cities in South Africa. already subscribed.
I am surprised Underberg at the foothills of Drakensberg in Kwa-Zulu Natal never made the list. It is quite a charming dorpie.
What about Knysna? A coastal town in the Western Cape
Hogsback, Nieu Bethesda, Kenton-on- Sea, McGregor, Paternoster, Grahamstown…
❤ nyce towns I am staying in one of them name Tulbagh
Clanwilliam is known for Rooibos tea!! Sederberg region and lovely boere mense....
Some of the imagery used for Genadendal is not actually in Genadendal. I lived and worked there for 2 years. Also, you should mention that Genadendal and Greyton are 5 minutes apart. You shouldnt visit the one without seeing the other
De Aar - Northern Cape
Springbok - NC
Port Alfred - EC
Wartburg - KZN
Askham - NC
e.t.c...
👍
Im from Genadendal
My "genade" Essie🤣👍.mooi loop
Its not that hard to learn how to pronounce the names of these places
Grahamstown is also full of historical sightd
You concentrated on side of the country, do you Tzaneen, Makhado/Louis Trichards,Palaborwa, Mokopane,Warm Bath/ Bela-Bela Bela-Bela, Hoed spruit ,Modimolle ,Thabazimbi and many more.
You left out the most beautiful and significant town, Barberton in mpumalanga
SA is beautiful
You left many beautiful towns in KZN
KZN is a shithole
I appreciate you adding genadendal to the list and would excuse for the pronunciation however, u including pictures of other towns in the segment which is incorrect. I.e. franschoek monument and greyton restaurant. These are not genadendal monuments
So you think only on the coast theres small towns. Its so sad when somebody knows all but never been here. Magaliesburg is one in north west and theres lots of other small towns.
You have missed the beautiful little towns along the wine route, namely Robertson, Ashton, Montagu, Swellendam, Barrydale, & beyond😊
These are predominantly the small towns in the Western Cape. There are lots more in other Provinces as well e.g. Clarence, Parys, Dullstroom, St Francis Bay (the latter maybe not a small town but worth visiting)....
Paternoster, Yzerfontein & Stellenbosch.
To Travel Insights: If you want anyone to subscribe it might be a good idea to pay a live narrator who can pronounce names of places correctly - probably cheaper than getting the AI programme corrected.
You left out CLARENS. The best imho
Rhodes in the easten cape, hippie town many years back, cecil john rhodes started the town, the tiffendale ski resort is up on the mountain joining lesotho border
Piketberg should also be listed.
These Small towns in South Africa do they have camping sites BCAUSE we are planning a trip to visit all these places in August and September this year
The Western Cape is full of beautiful camping areas. All over Cape Town. All the Garden route like Knysna and Plettenberg Bay.
Check out the small town called Tzaneen in Limpopo
Note: at 07:27--07:30 features the French Hugenot Museum in Franschhoek; not part of Genadendal, as the visuals would suggest.
The voice over is AI. It wouldnt know how to pronounce the names. It is still a beautiful video.
Please could you add Houtbay to your list.
