Recently, many South africans have faced difficult times. Nowadays, those times are being forgotten and South africa is opening up more than ever to international tourists. Cape Town is the most popular destination for visitors from abroad and Table Mountain is the city’s key attraction. It even features on the city’s coat of arms.

This majestic peak overlooks the city and most visitors try to get to the peak in some way. Many tourists take the scenic route in a cable car. Those tourists who want some exercise can hike to the top. Some other less relaxing activities are also available on the mountain, such as caving.

When travellers are bored of lazing on one of Cape Town’s many beaches, car hire in South africa should be considered. For tourists planning to drive the length of the south coast, Port Elizabeth is a friendly place to stop. A number of nature walks are on offer here.

Taking the N1 from Cape Town with cheap car hire in South africa, visitors will eventually encounter Durban. A busy port, Durban still attracts a number of visitors. Many of them come to see the whales off the coast here, organised trips are available. Another major group who visit here are surfers.

Finally, no trip to South africa is complete without going on safari. Kruger National Park gives visitors the opportunity to get up close with lions and leopards along with other African wildlife. Car rental in South africa is a good way to get here, and tourists can go via Johannesburg if they wish.
