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.

The Western Cape in South Africa is one of the best places in the world for a week's long road trip (which should cover MOST of the sites). You can do a plethora of activities around Stellenbosch and Cape Town like surfing at Strand and Muizenburg, see penguins at Boulder's Beach, drive the scenic Chapman's Peak, hike Lion's Head during the full moon, and dine at the V&A Waterfront.
