South Africa Destination Guide
Why South Africa
South Africa's mix of races, cultures, food, entertainment, scenery and wildlife makes it one of the most exciting destinations in Africa.  As well as some of the finest game reserves in terms of wildlife and facilities, the country also offers the stunning beauty of Cape Town, dramatic landscapes, peaceful vineyards, long white sandy beaches, good shopping, trendy cafés, bars and restaurants plus the excitement of Sun City.
Cape Town
The sight of majestic Table Mountain and the people who live beneath it are as welcoming today as they were when the first weary explorers and sailors named it 'The Tavern of the Seas'.  The looming crags, a striking landmark, provide a magnificent backdrop to the vibrant, friendly city.  Set between Table Mountain and the sparkling waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
The oldest city in South Africa, it has cobblestone streets, colourful street markets and an array of excellent shops and restaurants making it a delight to explore.  From Cape Town east to Port Elizabeth lies the Garden Route an area of extraordinary scenic beauty where tranquil winelands give way to craggy mountains, small bays and golden beaches, towering cliffs and primeval forests.
Johannesburg, once a small gold mining town and now Southern Africa's largest city and a major financial and industrial centre, offers excellent shopping and entertainment.  From Johannesburg you can join a safari in the Kruger National Park.  With approximately 145 mammal species it is possible to see all the classical big game including elephant, black and white rhino, hippopotamus, giraffe, zebra and buffalo.  Large carnivores include lion, leopard and cheetah.  If you want more action then Sun City is the place for you, a fabulous resort complex that captivates visitors with its combination of golf, gambling, game and land and water activities in the Lost City and Valley of the Eaves.
