Cape Town, South Africa
The bustling South African city of Cape Town is a mixture of cultures, cuisines, and landscapes. Ride the cable car to the top of imposing Table Mountain; the country’s most-photographed attraction and one of the new 'seven wonders of nature'. Head to the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens and get lost in the beautiful world of colour and nature. Take a boat trip to visit Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned, or come face-to-face with a great white shark on a cage dive. No trip to Cape Town would be complete without exploring the bustling markets that line the colourful streets and dining on a platter of fresh seafood by the Victoria and Albert Waterfront.

Meander through the city centre and enjoy the colonial-style City Hall and the South African works of art at Ann Bryant Gallery. Head to the Hemingways Mall where you'll find over 200 shops, six cinemas, a bowling alley, and go-kart track. Bask on the golden sands of Orient Beach, Nahoon Beach, and Cove Rock. Discover fossilised human and animal footprints on display at East London Museum or step back in time at the museum at Gately House. View the indigenous African snakes at Apex Predator Park or get up close to the Big Five animals on a safari through the Inkwenkwezi and Mpongo Private Game Reserves.
Richards Bay, South Africa
Richards Bay is located in the KwaZulu-Natal area of South Africa. This port town sits on a 30 square kilometre lagoon on the Mhlathuze River and boasts one of the country's largest harbours and amazing wetland scenery.
