Advantages: Great Scenery, Value for money, Pristine beaches Disadvantages: not much
Capetown is an aersome place. i love it so much and would highly recommend anyone visit it. From pristine wite beaches, the awesome mountan and the V&A waterfront, this is the place to be! It is also very cheap whe nyou are coming over from the united states or europe bercause of the exchange rate. a beer costs around $1 - $1.50. Capetown is relatively safe compared to most south africa ncities, especially johannesburg, mostly due to the huge tourist industry. capetown is pretty small and easy to travel around. there is no trains or decent bus service, but you can hire a car for really cheap, and the are tour buses in the city. i highly recommend going there

Another day we visited the beaches and went for a swim and there are many more activities to take part in, but I admit it could get a little boring. Robben Island is a must see - here you are able to ...
Advantages: The most beautiful city in the world, the view of Table mountain from the ocean Disadvantages: The rumor says that there is a lot of crime
This review actually starts in Johannesburg but most of the time was spent in CapeTown and that is why I have chosen to categorize it under "CapeTown"
I landed in Johannesburg (also know as Jo?burg) on the 31st of January 1999. The first few days were a bit amputated due to the fact that KLM, together with the Norwegian airline company Braathens, managed to send my luggage to Aberdeen, in Scotland, instead of sending it to Johannesburg. It took them 4 days to locate it and deliver it to me.
I don?t think that Johannesburg has that much to offer to tourists. The Kruger Park is not that far from the city and many use this city as a starting point for safaris. I have to admit that I didn?t go on a safari during my stay in South Africa. I only stayed in Joburg for two days before moving on to CapeTown. CapeTown is in my opinion ...
