From the awe-inspiring 'Smoke that Thunders' to the legendary 'Big Five' of Kruger, the iconic Table Mountain of Cape Town to pristine sandy beaches, it's unlikely that you'll ever see a geography with more distinct facets.
So much has been said about Cape Town that we could hardly add to the tributes and eulogies that has been heaped on the Mother City. Instead, here are our top three recommendations that must be experienced in any visit to Cape Town. These are the thrilling Table Mountain Cableway, the pulsating yet historic V&A Waterfront area and the breathtaking views from the Cape Point lighthouse.

At the very foot of South Africa lies a spectacular 200 kms coastal route through the wide band between the Indian Ocean and three sets of inland mountains. It’s a floral paradise of never-ending white beaches, dramatic gorges, ancient forests and stunning views of the sea crashing spectacularly through a narrow rocky gap. Welcome to the Garden Route - one of the most beautiful places on the planet.

The iconic Kruger National Park and its adjoining world-renowned private game reserves make it one of the largest wildlife conservancies in the world. Established in 1898, the 2-million hectare wildlife haven provides sanctuary to an estimated 1500 lions, 12000 elephants, 2500 buffalos, 1000 leopards and about 5000 rhinos, apart from cheetahs, wild dogs, spotted hyenas, hippopotamus and innumerable varieties of plains game.

Mozambique beckons with its 2500 kms of coastline, its remote archipelagos, its graceful dhows, its colonial-style architecture and its opportunities for adventure. This enigmatic southeast African country is well off most travellers' maps, but it has much to offer those who venture here including an abundance of water-based activities, pulsating nightlife, a fascinating cultural mix and vast tracts of bush.

For wild, arid grandeur, no place in sub-Saharan Africa rivals Namibia with its towering sand dunes, petrified forests, tabletop mountains and star-studded night skies. From above it’s an otherworldly landscape where “fairy circles” of sand dot the grasslands, while views at ground level are equally spectacular when watching a fiery red sunset transition to inky blackness over Etosha’s sprawling salt pans.

Botswana is one of Africa's best kept secrets, with Okavango Delta and the Chobe National Park having one of the largest concentration of wild game anywhere on the planet. Unique and varied safari experiences, aboard 4WD open vehicles, motorboats, dugout canoes, elephant-backs or even on foot steal the limelight in this land of quiet waterways, hidden channels, dry deserts and game-rich savannahs.

Deep in the African bush, at the foot of the Pilanesburg Mountains, lies one of the world’s most unique resorts, Sun City. This Las Vegas-style resort offers a dazzling variety of world-class entertainment, two championship golf courses, four hotels, a casino, and a host of amenities.

From majestic Mt. Kilimanjaro to the Rift Valley lakes and the exotic islands of Zanzibar, Tanzania is many worlds wrapped in one. With year-round concentrations of wildlife and waving, golden grasslands as far as the eye can see, the Serengeti is Tanzania’s crown jewel. Lions lurk in wait for prey among the park’s iconic kopjes (great piles of weathered granite), and wildebeest in the hundreds of thousands begin their epic annual Great Migration here.

In the local language, Victoria Falls is known as Mosi-Oa-Tunya, or 'the smoke that thunders'. Few natural wonders can match the spectacle as the mighty Zambezi takes a sharp plunge into the abyss some 400 metres below. During the rainy season the misty spray from the Falls rises in a thunderous display to more than 800 metres, that can be viewed from as far as 45 kilometres. Not surprisingly, the largest curtain of falling water on earth is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
