In order to recover from the action-packed activities a little, take a trip to one of South Africa’s charming cities. Johannesburg, Pretoria and Cape Town are particularly noteworthy here. The latter is the oldest city in the country and is also called the "Mother City". Cape Town is the perfect starting point to climb the Table Mountain or to visit the nearby Cape of Good Hope.
Obviously, not all is peachy pink. The country’s political and historical problems and challenges are well documented, but that doesn't stop it from being a magical and welcoming destination, which is worth a trip whole year long. Also, South Africa’s inhabitants are some of the most welcoming and gregarious on Earth.
