Cape Town
Top of my list. The cable car ride and that view over the whole city.
Table Mountain Aerial Cableway
Harbour walks, food market and the Ferris wheel, a full day out.
V&A Waterfront
Where Madiba spent 18 years. Every South African should go once.
Robben Island Museum
Where the oceans meet, with a lighthouse walk and baboons on the road.
Cape Point
Swimming with penguins in Simon's Town, the kids would love it.
Boulders Beach penguins
The treetop walkway and summer sunset concerts.
Kirstenbosch
Colourful houses and Cape Malay food, perfect for photos.
Bo-Kaap
Gauteng
Close to home and powerful. Give yourself a few hours.
Apartheid Museum
The only street with two Nobel winners. Grab a kota after.
Vilakazi Street, Soweto (Mandela House)
Where it all started for humankind, an easy day trip from Joburg.
