Stayed at Capetonian - Cape Town, South Africa.
|
Cape Town is an excellent destination for starting a trip in SA. There was enough to do to concentrate on the garden route/wine route and Cape Town surroundings without venturing further. Car hire and driving are exceptionally easy as roads are fairly empty and SA drives on the left. B&Bs as well as hotels are plentiful and cheap as is eating out. People are very friendly and helpful and always willing to give ideas of where to stay, eat, travel to next, etc. Local private game parks near Port Elizabeth are malaria-free hence no need for medication. We went to Schotia Game Park which was very good value. The advantage of a small private reserve is the guarantee of seeing whatever animals are around as the rangers will contact each other to inform of whereabouts. There are others in the vicinity which may be worth also having a look at.

Stayed at Balmoral - Durban, South Africa.
|
We did a clock-wise tour from Durban of KwaZulu-Natal. Highly recommended were the Drackensberg mountains, the midlands battlefields and the game reserves at Ithala and Umfolozi.
We hired a car. We changed our first car which was a Toyota Tazz with no AirCon or Power Steering. This was poorly explained by the on-line car hire company and I would recommend people to book an up-graded car.
