South Africa Dos and Don'ts

I've been around but this is the most beautiful place on the planet. I know, it will be hard to find a similar spot. Lovely nature reserves where you can do a safari. You should go for a horse riding safari as you get closer to the animals,nice! Many high quality restaurants with decent prices. Not to forget a fantastic choice of wine all local! And you can go out for days and meet the nice and friendly South Africans! *****

Great beach near the center of Cape Town, great cafes, resturants and people

Theatre on the bay is a must, try to attend a performance there

Filet steak for no money at the Grillhouse accompanied by lovely spinach, don't forget to order a local wine. May a 'Allesverloren'!! Don't forget the safari....Don't go to the Mahkavli (?) Lodge in Bella Bella, they're game reserve isn't as great as they think...

I lived here for 4 years; it is a pretty small market town right on the Lesotho / South African border. It is fairly pleasant, but not really a tourist spot - far more of a commuter base for those that work across the border in Maseru (but do not want to live in Lesotho ). There are a few bed and breakfast type accommodation places to stay and a central shopping area, but little to see (unless you want to visit an off-the-beaten track sort of place, where you can just observe how the locals live in the interior of S.A. )
