I've heard that you can see all the big safari animals in the Delta. Is this true? Are there any companies people would be able to suggest? I'd like to see animals and scenery (desert, dunes, waterfalls, forest, canyons, etc.) and would probably want a week to relax at the end in Cape Town. Any suggestions about anything I've mentioned would be great. meeting point Steph Post Count: 7 Msg: #2 68 days ago, May 18th 2008 | Where are you flying from? You may want a day or 2 here first to relax and rest after a potentially long journey. | September is the end of winter so beginning of spring here. Bring something for rain in Cape Town, some sweaters for the rest of the country. It won't be shorts weather but bring some anyhow, a good hat, sun glasses and sun screen. You can do a week in Namibia and go on a great tour of the country and see dunes at Sossusvlei and game at Etosha Reserve and fit in Okavango Delta with Chameleon Safaris We used them for our honeymooon and it was great! I would recommend flying to Windhoek from here and getting them to arrange you an airport transfer. Windhoek is small and all you need there is a day really. You can also do another week of game viewing in the Kruger National Park in the East of the country. Do you like scuba diving - go to Kozi Bay. The Western Cape Garden Route is very popular. Knysna and the rest are big hits with visitors. You can fly to Vic Falls with SAA - South African Airlines Spend a week in Cape Town and the Cape Winelands visiting Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl which are all great towns in Wine Country. For further info on Windhoek check out Windhoek Travel Guide and for Namibia Namibia Travel Guide .

Ask away if you have any other questions and I will try to help.

There are a few budget (no frills) airlines in SA, <a href="http://affiliates.trafficsynergy.com/z/977988/CD4632/"><b>Travel start will check all prices for the best deal</b></a>. | Then onto <a href="http://www.krugertours.com">Kruger park </a>for wildlife sfaris, a really good one is the <a href="http://www.krugertours.com/tf4walk.htm"> big 5 walking safaris</a> getting up close on foot is a sensational experience. then drop down into swaziland which is a really beautiful little country. then follow the coast along towards Durban. On the way you've got Hluhluwe / umfolozi park, Dumazulu cultural village, <a href='http://reservations.bookhostels.com/krugertours/hostel.php?HostelNumber=981' target='_blank'>Isinkwe Backpackers Bushcamp</a> is a great place to stay, plus there is the St Lucia wetlands world heritage park. From Durban you go up sani Pass to Lesotho or do some walking in the Drakensberg mountains, then onto the still very rural wild coast before heading back through the garden route to Cape Town airlalaina Hery Lalaina Post Count: 2 Msg: #5 47 days ago, June 8th 2008 | If you have time and if you want to discover Madagascar, I suggest you to visit this site <snip> | [Edited: 09:52 - Mell - Promotional posting is against the forum rules.]  bryan chitty Bryan Chitty Post Count: 3 Msg: #6 46 days ago, June 9th 2008 | <snip> | [Edited: 09:45 - Mell - Promotional posting is against the forum rules. ] stepho1 stephan Post Count: 3 Msg: #7 32 days ago, June 23rd 2008 | <snip> | [Edited: 09:37 - Mell - Promotional posting is against the forum rules.]  CoreAfrica Core African Experiences Post Count: 6 Msg: #8 29 days ago, June 26th 2008 | Hi, | There's so much to see in Southern Africa it's hard to limit it to a few, but here it goes: I have to see: 1.Cango Caves, Oudthoorn, South Africa 2.
