Visit the capital with Cape Town vacation packages

Cape Town is the capital of South Africa, and it's quite popular with travelers to the country, thanks to its coastal offerings. You'll find quite a few stunning beaches here, along with inviting waters sporting a turquoise allure.

Explore history and fun with Johannesburg vacation packages

Johannesburg is one of the largest cities in the country and the center for finance in the country. However, you don't have to be involved in business to enjoy the city, as you'll also find fascinating museums detailing the local history. Remember that the history of apartheid makes these museums detail some pretty serious subjects. The local arts scene is thriving, so be sure to stop by local galleries.
