Table Mountain
South Africa's premier tourist attraction, and one of the most spectacular tourist sites in the world - an absolute must for any visitor! The views from the top of this majestic mountain are breath taking and simply overwhelming. You will be able to view the city and its beaches below, and the view also stretches from Table Bay to False Bay and around the mountain to Hout Bay Valley and Kommetjie. On a clear day you will also see the view across the Cape Flats to the Hottentots Holland Mountains.
Garden Route
Describing the luxuriant coastal strip roughly between Mossel Bay east of Cape Town and Storm's River west of Port Elizabeth, it is for good reason that the Garden Route is South Africa's most internationally recognised tourist destination after Kruger National Park.

Namib Desert
When Jo and Rich Rosenthal decided that the best way to enjoy their honeymoon was to invite a load of their family and friends along, I was dubious.

When they decided to do all of this in the framework of our amib Project Trip, I realised they were genius!

The name alone is evocative and a drawcard! If you fancy venturing properly off the beaten track, then jump in your 4x4 and check out the Skeleton Coast...
South Luangwa National Park
There are many contenders for the prize of Africa's best game park. Some would mention Ngorongoro, the Serengeti, Amboseli or Kruger. South Luangwa National Park matches all of these in terms of game densities and size.

The Kalahari Desert is one of Africa's most prominent features and stretches across 7 countries. Whilst there are areas of true desert - mainly in Namibia, much of the area receives too much rainfall to be a true desert.
