Destination Cape Town

If you're a city person, you will love Johannesburg. It's a vibrant and dynamic place with a throbbing pulse and an awesome sense of rhythm.

Infused with the history of the struggle against apartheid and alive with the energy of the city of gold, Soweto is a must-see for tourists in search of more than sun, sea and the big five.

It's all happening at Durban beachfront, where babes strut their stuff in bikinis, traditional healers collect bottles of water for medicine, and even busy executives find time to catch a wave before or after work.

Lined with purple blossom-bedecked trees, Pretoria is a lovely, quiet city with a fascinating history and some significant old buildings.

A pretty city with thousands of rose bushes and some poignant memorials, Bloemfontein is conveniently situated as a stopover point between Cape Town and Johannesburg.

Often overlooked by travellers in search of glitz and glamour, Port Elizabeth is probably South Africa's best-kept secret, with fantastic weather and an enormous range of attractions.
