South Africa

South Africa is one of the most varied countries in Africa, from the wildlife of the bush to vineyards, mountains and two oceans. Cape Town lies below Table Mountain, near the Cape of Good Hope, the penguins of Boulders Beach and the winelands of Stellenbosch.

The Garden Route follows the coast east through forests and lagoons, and Kruger National Park is one of the great safari parks of the continent. The Drakensberg mountains, the whales of Hermanus and the history of Johannesburg and Soweto complete a trip. Distances are large, and a hire car is the easiest way to travel.
