Exploring South Africa with a Car Hire

The southernmost city on the African continent, Cape Town is among the most popular destinations in South Africa. Most airlines flying to South Africa will land here, and you can collect your rental car at the airport or downtown. Once you have settled in and picked up your rental car, a great way to become familiar with the area is a drive out to Table Mountain, just a little west of the city centre. From the top of the mountain you will get superb views of Cape Town and surrounding area, an impressive sight for a lookout so close to the city.

South Africa is famous for its many beaches, and possible the most famous beach of Cape Town is Boulders Beach, just to the south of the city. A unique landscape of giant granite boulders covers many parts of the beach, and it is home to a large colony of penguins. The penguins are quite used to humans and visitors can actually swim with them in the surf.

North east of Cape Town is another of South Africa’s popular cities, Johannesburg. Here you can drive through lion parks with your rental car, and the city is also the departure point for many game parks and reserves. Drive further north east of Johannesburg, and visit Kruger National Park, one of the most famous national parks in the world. The park is home to more mammal species than any other reserve in Africa, and a must for anyone travelling in the area.

Along the coast to the south of Johannesburg, you can visit Isimangaliso Wetland Park, a massive protected area with unique wildlife. Here you will find the largest estuary in Africa, as well as the largest forested sand dunes in the world, a truly impressive sight. West of here are the Drakensberg, the talles mountain range in South Africa.

Drive your hire car into the mountains, where you will be able to visit the Tugala Falls. At 850 metres in height, these are the second tallest waterfalls in the world, and definitely worth a visit, especially after rain. Like much of South Africa, the mountains cover vast areas of unspoiled nature, and a drive in your rental car in virtually any direction will lead you to spectacular scenery.
