Sightseeing
For many visitors to South Africa, there's no finer way to see the country than on the popular weekly journeys between Cape Town and Pretoria (or vice versa). From the coast, the 1600-kilometre (994-mile) route follows an old pioneering trail carved out of the African bushveld, passing through the Winelands and climbing up to the interior through the Hex River Valley. Highlights of the route include visits to the historic village of Matjiesfontein, a 100-year-old refreshment stop in the arid Karoo, and Kimberley, the diamond boom-town that's home to the Big Hole, the world's largest man-made excavation.
