When you are thinking of where to go and are truly undecided, go to South Africa! You can delight in nature and safaris for a couple of days, clubbing and shows for a couple more days, and then end off with Hawaiian type beaches, surfing or various other water sports.

The typical thing that tourists do when they show up in South Africa is that they book a safari in the North Western area of the country, maybe go off to the Durban coastline and then take a plane to Cape Town. It's not actually important if you begin in Cape Town or if you start in the Kruger, but it is a good idea to book a domestic flight at some point.

After your day in Stellenbosch, you can take pleasure in a walk in the city center. It is recommended you do this whilst all the shops are open, which is until around 5.00 pm. The main street is called Adderly Street and you will enjoy the flower market and the numerous shops. You could additionally go to St. Georg's Mal and Long Street, which packed with markets and coffee shops.
