Top 3 cities in South Africa

Just quietly, was there supposed to be a blurb on Capetown? As currently just the 2 cities in above article. All equally fabulous in their own right - there is a hideous crime rate though as anyone travelling over there, particularly if by yourself or in smaller groups needs to be really careful, especially in isolated areas or at night. Photo of Capetown attached - so it has its own representation in the article!

Sounds fantastic! Didn't know about the shopping in Jo'burg, but now I would definitely consider it for my next vacation.

I've really only ever heard about the dodgy side of South Africa so it was a nice change to read a different perspective in this article. Also I've never heard of a "dolphinarium" - I can imagine that being such a well visited spot - how gorgeous!

I went to South Africa just over 10 years ago. My family was very concerned for my safety as it was just myself and a girlfriend back packing our way around. We never had a problem at all (although there was probably plenty going on that we were not aware of). Fantastic place - would love to go again!!!

I would love to go to Sth Africa!! A good friend of mine has spent time there working with dung beetles would you believe haha! Also how crazy would it be if an alien space ship did stop over Johanessburg like in the Peter Jackson film District 9!? I'm big on wild life and Africa has a lot to offer in that sense, can't wait to get there!!

I'd love to go here too. It's really stunning to look at. I'm not sure I'd be game enough to visit on my own though!
