Hostels in South Africa
Most hostels in South Africa are independently run and, at the moment, Hostels.com works with 160 of these properties. There is an organisation that keeps an eye on these independent hostels, Backpacking South Africa.
South African hostels tend to be high quality, with welcoming staff. These properties often have their own bars. Meals are generally offered too, and tours and activities can be organised.
It�s a good idea to keep in mind that not all of South Africa�s best hostels are located within the major cities. Out in the countryside, even in remote destinations, you�ll also find quality hostels to book for your time in South Africa.
