What are some of the things to do in Bali?

While Johannesburg is known for its city life, Bali is a paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Book flights to Bali and check out these top activities:

• Trek the active volcano at Mount Batur: Scale this iconic peak in Bali, preferably before dawn, so you can watch the sunrise over the volcanic crater and the surrounding peaks. It’s a stunning view like no other.
• Explore the T-Rex cliffs at Kelingking Beach: Visit Nusa Penida in Bali to see the famous limestone headlands that tower over turquoise waters, white sands, and hidden coves.

Visa requirements, currency, language, and weather information in Bali

• Visa guidelines: Getting into Indonesia is simple for citizens from South Africa. You can get an e-visa online before you fly or pick up a visa on arrival once you land. Both are easy to manage and mean you'll be out of the airport in no time.
• Currency: The Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) is the currency in Indonesia. You can swap your cash for local notes when you arrive at the airport or simply use one of the many ATMs found all over the island.
• Language: While Indonesian is the official language and Balinese is common, English is widely spoken too in many tourist areas.
• Weather information: Bali stays warm and tropical all year, but the weather changes between two main seasons. Visit during the dry season from April to October for plenty of sun and perfect conditions for exploring. Between November and March, the wet season brings more frequent rain. These showers usually happen in short bursts during the morning or afternoon, so you can still get out and see the island.
