What to do, what to do.

Critical? No. Cheaper than a guided tour? Probably. There are fabulous train tours like the Blue Train which offers pure luxury on tracks. There is always Greyhound but that leaves you stuck with a schedule not of your own making. Taxi service as Americans and Europeans know it, is not available outside the main centers like Cape Town, Jo'burg and Durban.<BR>Hope this helps.<BR>golfer<BR>[email protected]

When I go to SAfrica again, I would rent a car but I feel that way about most places. It's a wonderful way to see the country. I would also jump at the chance to go on the Blue Train.

Mariacallas, I thought the objective of renting a car was to have the car lug you around. ;-)<BR><BR>You can always rent a car for each town you are in, hand it back at the airport, move on and rent a car in the next town.<BR><BR>It's a car rental, not a commitment.

Would anyone happen to know what the average cost would be if hiring a guide for a day from Cape Town, to do some sightseeing? Thanks.
