Experience South Africa

South Africa is a large country that covers the entire southern tip of the continent and features a great variety of natural environments as well as bustling cities. A diverse population gives each city its own unique atmosphere, and each has its own sights to attract tourists. Arguably the most popular of cities to visit in South Africa is Cape Town, located on the southwest coast of the nation, and with its stunning beaches and world-class entertainment, it’s no wonder why! While in Cape Town, be sure to drive your South Africa Car Hire up to Table Mountain, which is located right near the city centre, and will offer amazing views of the area.

East of Cape Town, about halfway along the southern coast of South Africa is Port Elizabeth, another city popular for holidays. Visitors come to Port Elizabeth to enjoy the great areas of nature that surround it, and also the perfect beaches and waters of Algoa Bay. Apart from the scenic coastline of South Africa, there are loads of great places to visit inland, particularly in the north of the country. Here you can visit the cities of Pretoria and Johannesburg, and most notably, Kruger National Park, the largest game reserve in the country. Here you can drive your South Africa Car Hire through the park while getting within metres of many of South Africa’s rare animals.
