Johannesburg is the largest city in the world not situated on a body of water. Gold is what brought people here first, but now it's the Jacaranda trees, proximity to Kruger National Park, Montecasino, Sandton, Sun City, The Panorama Driving Route, The Apartheid and Hector Pieterson Museums, the Soweto Towers, and Blyde River Canyon. Take a few days to explore this city's offerings.

The Western Cape of South Africa (specifically around Cape Town) is ideal for road trips. Here you can find many historical sites like Robben Island, nature sanctuaries like Jonkershoek Nature Reserve and Kirstenbosch Gardens, sports venues/teams like Ajax Cape Town FC (football) and DHL Stormers (rugby), as well as shark diving and whale watching in nearby Gansbaai and Hermanus.
