South Africa is a cultural melting pot with vibrant cities, several world-class game reserves, historic towns, and fine sandy beaches. South Africa also has world-class vacation rentals. Set on the Cape of Good Hope in the south west of the country, Cape Town, with its famous Victoria and Albert Waterfront, the iconic and beautiful Table Mountain and nearby vineyards, is a good place to begin a South African trip. Cosmopolitan Durban has some of the nation’s best surfing. The capital, Johannesburg, has a busy nightlife, cutting-edge museums and galleries, good sports facilities, and the interesting Apartheid Museum, which explains the country's difficult political past.

The best place in South Africa to see the “Big Five” animals is in the Kruger National Park, an hour’s flight to the east of Johannesburg. Most people stay a few nights in a game lodge, which has accommodation ranging from basic camp style to luxury. Daily tours to see lions, rhino, giraffes, and other wild animals are usually included in the trip package.
