Those in touch with nature may prefer a hike along Table Mountain, while those in touch with their inner material girl (or boy) will be drawn to Cape Town’s entertainment hub: the V&A Waterfront. Once redundant docklands have developed into a leisure mecca of shops and fine-dining establishments that blend seamlessly with the harbour. Lying in the shadow of the mountain, the elegant architecture pulses with energy. Victoria Wharf caters to every heart’s shopping desire with over 400 retail outlets featuring local and international brands. Art and jewellery can be found near the yellow clock tower overlooking the harbour, while the Watershed’s skylight and urban...

For a countryside escape that doesn’t skimp on taste and luxury, head out of Cape Town for the nearby Cape Winelands. The terroir of these small towns and their surrounds have made them ideal for wine production, and many of the region’s wineries boast a history over 300 years. The Constantia Wine Route is a 20-minute drive from Cape Town and home to the country’s oldest wine estate: Groot Constantia. Further afield you’ll find Franschhoek, a little village that has been dubbed the ‘food-and-wine capital’ of South Africa and boasts several top-notch restaurants and over 50 internationally-acclaimed wineries.

Johannesburg, South Africa's very own concrete jungle, is a busy blend of colour and commotion. Nicknamed the ‘City of Gold’ (because of its past as a mining mecca), Johannesburg is both the economic hub of the country and an exemplary model of the ‘modern African city’. In fact: Joburg’s city limits has swelled so much that it is now virtually connected to neighbouring Pretoria! Nowhere is Johannesburg’s work-hard-play-hard attitude more evident than in affluent Sandton. Not only is Africa’s richest square mile (as Sandton’s commonly known) home to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange but it also boasts one of Africa’s largest shopping centres: Sandton City. Here you...
