Top 5 places to vist in South Africa





TABLE MOUNTAIN


Table mountain is the main tourist attraction for all visitors to Cape Town and when you vist you’re most definately going to want to see the view from up top. There are a few options, The easiet way would be to take a cable car which provides breath taking views or if you're into hiking then you can hike to the top. Taking the hike is definitely worth it.Table Mountain is home to quite a variety of animal species, Such as, mongooses, porcupines and monkeys. There is also a lovely Restaurant at the top serving great food. If you're ever in Cape Town i would HIGHLY  recommend going to Table Mountain.



USHAKA SEA WORLD 

Located in Duban, Ushaka is the 5th largest aquarium in the world, It has 32 tanks in total. uShaka Wet'n Wild is a water park which has everything from a lazy river ride which goes through the ship wreck and past some tanks, to high speed slides, and boasts the highest water slide in Africa. It has a large grass area for relaxing, ushaka also has a dolphin stadium which can seat over a 1000 visitors and the seal stadium which can seat over 400 visitors.



KRUGER NATIONAL PARK

You cant come to South Africa without going to the Kruger National Park. In my view it has to be the best National Park in the world. All the big can be found at the Kruger National Park as it has more mammals than any other african game reserve.
The Kruger National Park has 21 rest camps, as well as 2 private lodge concessions, and 15 designated private safari lodges. The Kruger National Park houses 114 species of reptile and 3000 crocodiles



ROBBEN ISLAND

Robben Island served as a place of banishment, isolation and imprisonment. Today it is a World Heritage Site and museum. Robben Island is famous for Nelson Mandela, He was imprisoned for 27 years, 18 of which were in Robben Island. I recommend Robben Island for those wanting to know about South African History and how life was in the Apartheid era.



THE V&A WATERFRONT


If you're into high fashion and up market malls and lifestyle, I suggest you try the V&A Waterfront. It is the most popular tourist attraction in the whole of South Africa.
The V&A Waterfront is located within an amazing setting of a working harbour and has well  over 450 stores, a massive selection of top quality restaurants.
It also has an aquarium, boat trips and helicopter charters, art & craft markets, a variety of leisure attractions as well as world-class hotels.
The V&A Waterfront has a variety of cultural landmarks such as museums, historic buildings and private access to one of South Africa’s essential heritage sites; Robben Island
