Overall

While in South Africa I also spent time in Johannesburg and Pretoria, but both cities pale in comparison to Cape Town. Cape Town is a picturesque city nestled between the mountains and the sea. It's a *bit* pricey to get there but once you are there, the exchange rate is in favor of the US Dollar so you get a lot of bang for your buck. It's a fairly cosmopolitan city filled with friendly citizens, there's great shopping, plenty of restaurants that serve fresh seafood and tasty local dishes, plus you are within a short drive of the winelands, safaris, and the Cape of Good Hope. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and honestly did not want to return back to the States!
