Table Mountain is Cape Town's most visited attraction and therefore can hardly be missed on your Trip to South Africa. This world-famous mountain is imposing and a feast for the eyes. A cable car (gondola) takes visitors to the summit at 1085 metres in just six minutes. Once there, on a clear day, you can witness spectacular panoramic views that are truly impressive. The more adventurous can follow various hiking trails that run across the mountain and enjoy even more beautiful views of the city and the ocean.

The Groote Kerk is probably the most famous church in South Africa. The church was built in the 19th century on the site of an earlier Dutch Reformed Church. The Groote Kerk has a number of particularly interesting sights, such as the lockable pews, the enormous pulpit, the organ with 6,000 pipes, and an unusual soapstone floor, beneath which around 200 people are buried.

Johannesburg, with the well-known Soweto, has emerged as one of South Africa's most popular tourist destinations. Some of the main attractions in Johannesburg include:

• Lesedi Cultural Village
• James Hall Transport Museum
• AECI Dynamite Factory Museum
• Florence Bloom Bird Park
• South African National Museum of Military History
• Soweto township
• Cradle of Humankind
• Apartheid Museum

South Africa's history museums, such as the Apartheid Museum and the Hector Pieterson Museum, attract tourists from all over the world. The city also boasts various art museums like the Johannesburg Art Gallery, which features many South African and European landscape and figurative paintings, and the Africa Museum, which chronicles the history of Johannesburg.

One of South Africa's biggest attractions is Kruger Park. This is a large wildlife park in the northeast of South Africa, on the border with Zimbabwe and Mozambique. There are many animal species to spot. The most famous are the Big Five. These refer to the lion, rhinoceros, buffalo, leopard, and African elephant. Another place of interest is the Drakensberg Mountains. This is a mountain range with a lot of natural beauty, which is attracting increasing tourist interest.

One of the most beautiful sights you can see during your South Africa holiday are the diverse waterfalls. Africa has the most waterfalls on the African continent. These 3 waterfalls are very much worth visiting:

The Berlin Falls are located in the Mpumalanga province. The falls are named after the German capital. The Berlin Falls are the highest waterfalls in this province, standing at approximately 80 metres. Visitors can explore the area on foot, enjoy a picnic around the waterfall and even swim in the lake.

The Augrabies Falls are located in Augrabies Falls National Park near the border with Namibia and on the Orange River in the Northern Cape province.
The waterfalls are approximately 56 metres high.

The Mac Mac Falls are the only waterfalls with a link to the 19th-century historical South African gold rush. This is why they have been declared a National Monument. The Mac Mac Falls were formerly a stream until the Scots blew up the river with dynamite. This resulted in the two beautiful waterfalls. The Mac Mac Falls are found in the Mpumalanga province and are approximately 70 metres high.
