Question

Who has been to SOUTH AFRICA, and what did you think of it and where is the best place to visit?

Answer 1

It is a huge country. There are game reserves in the north, beautiful beaches along the coast, and down at the southern tip is Cape Town and the Cape wine country.



For me, the Cape is the best place. Great scenery, great wines. Easy to get around, English is spoken and not expensive.

Answer 2

Who better to ask than someone who lives in South Africa...?



I've lived here all my life and my family has a holiday home in all except one of the provinces of South Africa (and there are nine of them!) Personally I think Cape Town is the place to be. However, people may disagree because of it's gloomy weather. If the weather is a problem head down to Durban (but I find it too tedious a place to be in!) If it's friendly people you are looking for head over to PE. But if you want to experience the best scenery Mpumalang is one place you have to stop in. Even if you are not fussy about the scenery head to Mpumalanga anyway because it just ROCKS!

Answer 3

Start in the Mother City (CapeTown) & take in the sights, Natal is also great, Johannesburg is the financial Capital also the most Expensive. Ultimately the whole Country is WELL worth a visit, check out the South African tourism Boards website, depending on what you looking for in a visit to SA but you wont be sorry you went
