Sounds great. My recommendations after a whole week working out there.
Get a driver, its fkin scary out there.
Do the Apartheid museum in Joburg. It's not the best museum (it feels like there is a certain amount of revisionism) but very moving.
Home | Apartheid Museum
I wanted to go to the cradle of humankind but I had to do some work.
Go to a Casino, the food will be good, but go on the floor and see the sea of slots where many of the african workers waste their wages to make casino owners rich. Blew my mind.
Try Springbok Carpaccio, and any fish (it was all fantastic).

Must do's in CT:Originally posted by EternalOptimist View Post
Boulders beach - seriously cute penguins
Table Mountain (obv.) reasonably easy to climb up it if you're averagely fit - there's a couple of routes. Climb up/cable car down (or cable car both ways)
Robben island - never got there myself - one time it was closed, and the other the sea was too rough, but it's supposed to be well worth doing
Mama Africa restaurant in Kloof Street - touristy, but excellent.
Worth heading out to Francshhoek / Stellenbosch and doing the winerys.
Cape point isn't 'wow' but it worth a visit - and you often see some baboons along the road on the way.
Are you B&Bing? I can give you a couple of places we stayed in 2008 that were excellent, assuming they're still good now.Comment
