Capetown ("Kaapstad" in Afrikaans) is one of the most beautiful major cities in the world. It is the meeting point for two oceans with mountains and a natural harbor. Thanks to its nature many migrants moved there and movies were recorded there. Activities may include surfing, fishing, shark watching (!) or just walking and enjoying. Note that the area also produces good wines...

Stellenbosch is a wine area close to Capetown. It is named after its Dutch founder Simon van der Stel.

The Kruger National Park is one of the largest game reserves in the world. The big five and many other animals have their home here. The location north-east of Johannesburg makes it an easy destination.

Johannesburg is the largest city and economic heart of South-Africa. People are starting to make it a "friendlier" city, away from the bad name of robbers and thieves. You still need to be careful, but a city tour to see the old and new Joburg is certainly worthwhile. Buying diamants? De Beers has its HQ here. Politics? Visit So-We-To (South-West Township) where Nelson Mandela lived.

Addo Elephant National Park is a diverse wildlife conservation park in South Africa and is one of the country's 20 national parks.

Hermanus is a city on the South-Coast where you may watch Whales from the coast, without the need for a boat, when the season is right.

Knysna is a major destination on the Garden Route with a lagoon, cliffs , forests an lots of ourdoor activities.

Blyde River Canyon (Dutch: "happy river canyon") is one of the largest and certainly greenest canyons on Earth.

Overlanding Tours

Adventure travel with truck, camping and self-cooking

An Overlanding Expedition, especially in Africa, is a budget and adventure-oriented kind of travel. Usually anyone who is flexible enough and has energy can participate. You may travel by special truck or bus, sleep in tents with/without facilities and assist in cooking the meals. No fancy restaurants, no air-conditioning. It sounds romantic and fun, but is also basic.
