We did a quick Instagram search to find South Africa’s sexiest spots on Instagram.

It’s not only the bus loads of tourists who get these attractions trending on Instagram, but locals enjoying the splendour of their country too.

Interestingly, three of the top four most Instagrammed spots boast rather similar views…

10. Robben Island
