The lay of the land
by Jenniflower
South Africa is made up of 9 provinces, some small, some large, with the 2 small countries of Swaziland and Lesotho landlocked within it's borders. The smallest province, Gauteng, is the most productive of all provinces in South Africa.
The Western Cape is the most visited province overall by travellers and tourists from around the world. Fondly known as the 'fairest Cape' by the locals, it's charm and beauty is world renowned, Cape Town itself being a favourite destination.

THE ATALANTIC COAST
by PEE-WEE
The Atlantic coast of the Cape Peninsula has some of the most spectacular coastal scenery in the world.
The Cape Town Atlantic Seaboard is for the young and the young at heart. It has beaches, restaurants, bars and accommodation with magnificent views. The white sand beaches of Hout Bay, Noordhoek, Kommetjie and Llandudno are of the most beautiful in Cape Town..
The Cape Town Atlantic Seaboard is popular with outdoor enthusiasts, surfers and sea kayakers. Whales visit the coast (June to November) and the road between Kommetjie and Scarborough offers some of the best view sights in Cape Town. Most of the beaches are well protected from the south-easterly wind which makes it perfect for sunbathing. The cold water of the Atlantic Ocean makes for exhilarating swimming.
The Atlantic Seaboard is home to some of the most expensive real estate in South Africa. It offers a variety of accommodations to visitors, trendy bars, and beaches where the action is as hot as the weather.
Minibus Taxis
by glennkasner
Be very careful and avoid using this mode of transport as many of these vehicles are not roadworthy and drivers are often unlicenced.
When using taxis rather opt for the sedan type that display their tariffs on the doors.
