One of the best ways to see the scenery on your South Africa holidays is to take a drive down the famed Garden Route along the south eastern coast. Starting in Mossel Bay and finishing at Storms River, there at least 10 nature reserves along the Garden Route, which harbour an array of marine life and multi-coloured birds. Ensure you stop at Knysna along the way - a beautiful seaside town that is perfect for some fun, relaxation and fine food.
Table Mountain
Table Mountain is one of South Africas best known landmarks and all South Africa holidays should include a trip up this majestic mountain in Cape Town. There are two options for reaching the summit; you can take the cable car which does the hard work for you or if you are feeling energetic, you can hike up the mountain in about 2-4 hours. Whichever option you choose, from the moment you step foot on the top you are greeted with a 360O view over Cape Town that is guaranteed to take your breath away.

On your South Africa holidays safaris to Kruger is a must and with your choices ranging from self drive options to guided tours, no matter how you wish to see this beautiful national park; everyone is easily catered for.
Soweto Township
Perhaps not the best looking of the countrys attractions the Soweto Township in Johannesburg is a must see for anyone who wants to understand the freedom struggle fought both under the Apartheid regime and throughout the 1900s. There are many local tour companies who conduct guided tours for those on holidays in South Africa, as you should not venture into Soweto on your own. Soweto tours are extremely humbling and take in particularly important sites such as Nelson Mandelas former home and the Hector Pieterson Memorial.
Robben Island
You could not consider your South Africa holidays complete without a visit to the Robben Island Prison Museum which is found 7km off the coast of Cape Town. The now disused prison is famous for being the involuntary home of many anti-apartheid activists during the 1900s with perhaps the most notable being Nelson Mandela who was kept on Robben Island for 27 years. The best way to experience all that the island has on offer is on a guided tour, where youll begin in Cape Town and spend half a day touring the island learning its startling and eye opening history.
