Victoria
& Alfred Waterfront
in Capetown, South Africa,
|
Located at
the very southern tip of Africa, South Africa is bordered by Namibia,
Botswana,
Zimbabwe, Mozambique,
Swaziland and Lesotho.
Encompassing
metropolitan cities, spectacular national parks, nature reserves,
world class wine producing areas AND the location of Africa's
first Football
World Cup in 2010, (centered around Johannesburg)
South Africa is one of the continent's major tourist destinations.
One of the
top destinations within South Africa is the capital city, Capetown,
with its world famous landmark Cape of Good Hope, and the breathtaking
views from Table Mountain.
While here, be sure to see a handful of tourist attractions that are usually top rated for any Capetown visitor to enjoy. These including Castle of Good Hope, an ancient lesson in Capetown history located in the city center, as well as a stroll around The Company's Garden, Capetown's premier public park.
For good old bargain hunting and people watching in Capetown, also don't miss out on colorful Green Market Square, situated on a cobbled square between Short and Long Market Streets. For nature lovers (or with kids in tow) also don't miss a fun day afternoon trips to Two Oceans Aquarium, and the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve.
More spectacle awaits outside the main cities on the Western Cape's scenic coastline tour,
from Mossel Bay to Port Elizabeth, encompassing sun-drenched South
African beaches, game reserves, mountain vistas and the
Cape
Winelands and vineyards around Stellenbosch, Paarl and
Franschhoek.
