Cape Town is a great city but unfortunately local travelers don’t get the same quality of service as foreigners do. The pictures attached are that of the Berkeley Square apartment. It was absolutely filthy and disgusting and ruined the trip for me.

Durban is dirty.
Durban is dirty. Neglect can be seen, especially if you go into CBD and surrounds. Tennis courts at Westridge needs attention to bathroom's neglect. This must have bee a super place years ago, but no investment has been done since.

Plenty to do in Johannesburg and a place full of history and culture. Get out and explore all there is to offer. Ride the Gautrain, arrange for private tours and you can not go wrong. We did a Safari, visited Soweto, Lesedi Cultural tour, Mandela's house, Apartheid musuem, shopped at Rosebank craft market over the weekend, visited Pretoria and walked around Sandton area. Whatever you do, only exchange money at the bank or mall where there is security. We hired a driver to take us to the Apartheid museum and he took us to an atm right outside the musuem to use our atm card and my husband was robbed of his card. Since he had already entered out pin number, the guy took his card and ran off getting away with over $500. Thankfully we immediately called our bank in the US and they put a stop on my card and refunded our money right away. You can not trust everyone so stay vigilant as you would anywhere else. The locals are quite nice and if you have questions, people are really nice and friendly. We had a great time and plan to go back in a few years. Stop by the Kliptown Youth Program in Soweto and see the work they are doing to help the poorer communities. Donate some money to help these youth out please. Everyone deserves to have food, clothing, and shelter. They will thank you for your kindness. You can bring school supplies to the children too. Stay blessed everyone.

A great, historic city well worth the drive
We have been frequent visitors to Pretoria/Tshwane since moving to Swaziland in 2013. We have almost always enjoyed our stay, regardless of reasons for going. The Arcadia/Hatfield area is where we usually stay, and it is beautiful and quite safe. Our favorite lodging is Meintjieskop Guest House on Eastwood St. The owners are quite friendly and helpful and are patient with our often last-minute bookings. Menlyn Park Mall is also a favorite place for shopping and dining as well as movie viewing.

The mall was good. The eating places were good but we missed an Ocean basket in the area. we did not have a special spot as such but we loved the beach.
We ate at wimpy and John Dori and other places in the mall.
Your breakfast was a bit pricey.
Getting around was good.

Great bridge club with friendly members, should be advertised more. Many hospices and bookshops, should be subject to separate leaflet. Great Pub to watch sport in town centre, otherwise found restaurants too formal
