If you have a true passion for travel, your age should not deter you from exploring all the places you’ve dreamt of visiting. In fact, now that you are retired you have even more time on your hands to tick those must-see destinations off your bucket list.
Here at Renishaw Hills Lifestyle Estate, we believe that Scottburgh is the best coastal town to retire in South Africa thanks to its amazing weather and gorgeous landscapes. However, we understand that you may still want to broaden your horizons so in this article, we’ll provide a few travel tips for retirees.
Planning Ahead
Planning ahead is always a good idea if you want your travel plans remain organised. Planning ahead also allows you to do proper research into the places you want to visit and you may benefit from better deals.
While everyone ages differently, most people are not as fit and agile in their older years as they were twenty years ago. So you want to consider any potential limitations. For example, you may not want to visit a city that’s filled with steep sets of stairs (in fact most of us would!).
Destination Suggestions
Some of the most popular international travel destinations for retirees include:
- Zanzibar
- Thailand
- Portugal
- Mauritius
- Hawaii
Many seniors also enjoy going on cruises thanks to their affordability and accessibility.
Remember that you don’t have to travel internationally to have a great time as there are so many amazing destinations within KZN, including Hluhluwe, Warner Beach, Ballito, Hilton, and more.
Take Advantage of Senior Discounts
Many restaurants and hotels offer discounts for seniors, so make sure you’re aware of the various discounted opportunities available to you. Speak to other senior travel enthusiasts to get their advice on where to get the best deals.
Explore your Local Area
You don’t need to travel to the other side of the world to have an adventure! South Africa is filled with amazing destinations, and there is truly something for every taste and preference.
One of the reasons why Scottburgh is considered one of the best coastal towns to retire in South Africa is because of its central location. You can drive up to Durban if you are craving some big city life or head into the Transkei if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle.
