Regions of South Africa
South Africa is a nation of exceptional natural beauty with a rich cultural heritage. Tropical forests, soaring mountains, golden beaches, arid deserts, cosmopolitan cities and classic African savannahs all combine to make South Africa a unique and exciting destination.
World famous Kruger National Park is a five hour drive or a one hour flight from Johannesburg and it offers some of the best game viewing in Africa. Johannesburg is South Africa’s largest city and remains its financial and commercial heart. The glittering international resort of Sun City is located two hours drive from Johannesburg and is in the midst of the bush.
Cape Town is known as ‘the fairest cape’ for its spectacular scenery and sophistication. Sights not to be missed are the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, Table Mountain, the Cape Peninsula, and Robben Island. The Garden Route stretches from Slangriver at Heidelberg to the Tsitsikamma forest and Storms River in the east. It is a picturesque area with golden beaches, indigenous forests, lakes and rivers.

Table Mountain is impossible to ignore. Towering over the City Bowl of Cape Town, like a protective mother, the mountain is the pride and joy of Capetonians. And rightly so. With the amazing Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens nestled in the foothills, the breathtaking views over Table Bay and Robben Island from the top, and the revolving cars of the Cableway, Table Mountain is a must for anyone who is lucky enough to find themselves in South Africa’s Mother City.

Tickets in hand we headed to the cable car which can carry 65 people at a time, and you stand the whole way up as the car rotates 180°C. A very smooth ride, you didn’t even feel like you were moving.
