97 countries South Africans can visit without a visa
As any
local sans ancestral visas or dual citizenship may know, travelling on a plain
old green South African passport is no joke.
Before
even thinking about entering most countries around the world, we are required
to pass the ultimate endurance test: a visa application.
Reams and reams of paperwork, sweaty-palmed interviews, exorbitant amounts of money and throbbing admin headaches later, we may or may not be allowed to hop in and out of a destination as fast as our little legs can carry us.

And for
all those endowed with a generous dollop of wanderlust, it really just is a bit
of a party pooper.
Or, at
least that's the general perception.
However, if you delve just a little bit deeper, it turns out that the world is actually a whole lot more open to us than we may have thought!
All in all there are 97 countries around the globe we can enter on our passports alone, and while they may not be the US, Canada, Australia or most of Europe, there are some pretty dang exciting places to go.

us on nothing but a passport, with the exception of, among others, Suriname,
