South Africa's landscapes are stunning, from the burning Karoo and Kalahari semi-deserts to urban Cape Town where we only had to look up to see the beautiful fynbos (indigenous flora) climbing the slopes of Table Mountain while, nearby, two of the world's most dramatic coastal roads led to Cape Point and Hermanus. Add the vineyards carpeting the Winelands, old-growth forests along the Garden Route and Indian Ocean beaches, there is a staggering variety to enjoy.
