6 SA snowy destinations for your winter travel bucket list

Although most tourists come to South Africa for its lovely weather, locals often keep an eye out for homegrown spectacular winter spots worth exploring. And, when there is snow, it is even better.

Whilst one would never know for sure, these South African spots have seen their fair share of snow over the past few years.

Chances are you might be able to build a snowman here this winter:

Nieu-Bethesda

According to the owner of The Bethesda Guesthouse, Carla Smit, the Karoo town Nieu-Bethesda is often covered in white from the months of May, sometimes all the way through to November. She says that your best bet, though, would be around June and July. In August last year, many shared photos of a snow-capped Compassberg.
