Hi,

To visit South Africa for less than 90 days on vacation you do not need a visa.

Your passport must have at least 2 blank pages and you need to have a return/ onward ticket, as well as proof of sufficient funds.

You also would require a WHO yellow fever certificates are required if the journey starts or entails passing through the yellow fever belt of Africa or South America.

Enjoy your stay...

Just a tip South Africa does not have a very advanced public transport system you probably will need to hire a car.

Visa's are needed for "any" visit vice versa, If its a rule for one country it automatically becomes a rule for the other.

See site below and read under Entry/Exit Requirements to see that you are correct.
