Port elizabeth 9
Incredible diversity! Amazing landscapes and an abundance of African wildlife in various game parks in and around the city! There is a wide variety of accommodation is available from bed and breakfast, guest houses, lodges and hotels. Top quality accommodation to suite your budget. Port Elizabeth is a great place for surfing, kite surfing, mountain biking, fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling or birding! It can be a little windy - but this is a great value for money city!

Cape Town 8
Beautiful City with fabulous views of the Table Mountain. Wonderful Dining, beaches and shopping. Amazing coastal drive. Great Spas. Take a cable car to the top of the mountain and walk some of the paths with clear ocean views and City scapes. Vineyards have excellent dining and children's play areas.Even small cafes have delicious food and good coffee or tea. The icecream parlour at Camp's Bay is a must. One has to be aware of some areas especially after dark.
