• Cape Town
For many visitors to South Africa,
there's no finer way to see the country than on the popular
weekly journeys between Pretoria and Cape Town. One of the
world's top destinations, Cape Town offers a blend of cosmopolitan
city life, mountain splendour and scenic winelands. The twin
cities of Pretoria and Johannesburg in Gauteng form South
Africa's economic heartland and the ideal departure point
for the Lowveld's world-famous game reserves. From the coast,
the 1600 kilometre route follows an old pioneering trail carved
out of the African bushveld, passing through the winelands
and climbing up to the interior through the Hex River Valley.
Highlights of the north and southbound routes include visits
to the historic village of Matjiesfontein, a 100-year-old
refreshment stop in the arid Karoo, and Kimberley (city of
De Beers), the diamond boom-town that's home to the Big Hole,
the world's largest man-made excavation.
