Sightseeing in South Africa

54 experiences

Sightseeing in South Africa radiates from two hubs. In Cape Town you start with the peninsula: a seven-hour day takes in Table Mountain, the Cape of Good Hope and a penguin colony, 212 dollars. A separate ferry runs to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela spent eighteen years — five and a half hours including the transfer, 78 dollars.

The city's other side opens up on foot: a guided walk through the centre costs 91 dollars, while a township tour — through the districts Black residents were forced into under apartheid — runs 61 dollars for four and a half hours. Further along the coast come the trike routes: a full loop of the Cape Peninsula or the drive to Hermanus along the whale route, eight hours and 286 dollars each.

From Johannesburg the view turns to savannah: a day in Pilanesberg takes twelve hours, a lion walk seven and a half, and there is a five-hour horseback safari and a hot-air balloon flight. GetExperience lists 30 sightseeing programmes in South Africa, group and private, from 61 dollars and four to twelve and a half hours long. Dates and party size are picked in the calendar.
