Free Accommodation in South Africa

Monday October 3, 2005
homeswapblog.jpg The cost of a flight to South Africa often puts people off taking a vacation there, especially if time is limited. But if your accommodation is free then your African vacation becomes very affordable. Is there a catch? Nope, it's called 'home exchange'.

Home exchanges have been popular for many years and there are plenty of options available in South Africa. By switching homes with a South African family for a week or two, your accommodation is free and very often a car as well. This is a wonderful option for those who enjoy their independence as well as those traveling with kids. Given the favorable exchange rate you can enjoy a beach vacation in Cape Town for a very reasonable price.
