Vacation of a lifetime to Australia

South Africa self tour

Myself and my girlfriend will be stopping over in Johannesburg for four days. We have already booked a two day stay/tour in Soweto. On the third day, however, we want to explore a little of Johannesburg. We would like to walk and also use the Rea Vaya bus system. We are hoping to spend time at the CBD area, newtown and Constitution Hill.

Can you recommend if this is a sensible way to see JoBurg and what sites we should definitely make an effort to see?

Thanks.

Tasmania, Australia and New Zealand

Next spring we hope to visit our friends in Tasmania, and travel to the Australian mainland and New Zealand, staying away for about 2 months.

Have you any suggestions for places not to miss while keeping the budget realistic?

Visiting friends in Cape Town

We are going to stay with friends in Cape Town in May. We shall stay with them for the first four or five days, then visit the rest of South Africa, returning for two days to our friends in Llandudno Bay, before flying home. We are aged 68 and 69 and while we are generally fit and healthy, our walking over rough terrain would be limited. Could you suggest a 10 day itinerary which would allow us to see as many aspects of the natural landscape, cultural life, wild life of South Africa as could be managed during the period of 10 days? While we would not be looking for top luxury, we do like comfortable accommodation with a feel good factor, but much depends on the price of course.
