South Africa
Cape Town to Sun City - penguins, caves, sunset cruises and Table Mountain views.
InternationalWhy travellers love it
South Africa is a whole world in one country, sweeping from the Atlantic drama of Cape Town along the Garden Route to the lagoon town of Knysna, then north to the resort fantasy of Sun City and the big-city pulse of Johannesburg.
Cape Town alone justifies the journey: the cable car ride up Table Mountain, the windswept cliffs of Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope, and the irresistible penguin colony at Boulders Beach with Seal Island just offshore. The Garden Route adds the John Benn Sunset Cruise across the Knysna lagoon and a full day in Oudtshoorn among ostrich farms, the Cango Wildlife Ranch and the limestone wonderlands of the Cango Caves.
Then the pace changes - leisure days at Sun City with its pools, Valley of Waves, golf and casinos, before Johannesburg closes the odyssey with Constitution Hill and the panoramic Top of Africa observation deck.
