I’ve gone for SA myself, stacks up very nicely. 2 of us for a fortnight in late Jan. £1200 return direct on BA to Cape Town for both of us including a hire car.
AirBnB looks good value too, first 4 nights in nice apartment with pool on good area for £200.
Fingers crossed it lives up to expectations!
It will. There are some very good restaurants that are probably worth booking now. My favourites from this trip were the Pot Luck Club and The Reverie Social Table. Make sure you visit Franschhoek, it’s bloody lovely and this being PH you’ve got to drive the Franschhoek Pass, we had a Ford Ecosport 1.5 and even in that it piece of sAirBnB looks good value too, first 4 nights in nice apartment with pool on good area for £200.

t it was a beautiful bit of road, scared the crap out of my wife.The big elephant in the room when it comes to SA are the Afrikaans.
Awful bigoted and arrogant people. Spent way too much time with them. Worked with them and played rugby.
Huge chip on their shoulders where the English are concerned.
I know that we should get over the past but any people’s who believed in apartheid in such recent times need to be handled with care. In public it’s all hey brother but get a few drinks in them and it’s all Boer war songs and calling the English bds.
