South Africa has two hotels and two safari lodges that are incredibly popular with rich South Africans, Europeans, and Americans.<\/p>\n

According to the New World Wealth Report by Henley and Partners, South Africa has roughly 140,000 high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) who travel widely across Africa.<\/p>\n

The report, compiled by Henley & Partners and New World Wealth, also said that over 300,000 millionaires from mostly France, Germany, Switzerland, the UK, and the USA regularly visit African countries on vacation.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the luxury hotel sector is essential in bringing substantial foreign exchange into Africa.<\/p>\n

The sector also creates a plethora of good-paying jobs for hoteliers, chefs, game rangers, and other support staff – much of this income is seasonal and in the form of tips.<\/p>\n

The report added that\u00a0HNWI families also travel to Cairo in Egypt, Livingstone in Zambia, Marrakech in Morocco, the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, the Okavango Delta in Botswana, the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt, and Etosha National Park in Namibia.<\/p>\n

Gorilla-tracking safaris are also growing in popularity in Rwanda and Uganda.<\/p>\n
