camping place cape town image

We are visiting my girlfriends family in Durban in September but would like to fly into Cape Town spend a few days there and then drive to Durban over the course of a few days. Firstly has anyone done this trip and could recommend a route and places of interest to visit (we have been advised to take the Garden route)? Secondly we are looking to rent a decent car but all the firms have surcharges per km driven, does anyone know of any rental firms that provide decent value cars with unlimited km's??
Thanks!
Answer
Yes I have done it several times many years ago.
Off the top of my head:
- you can either take the Garden Route along the coast or cut through the Karoo Desert which is the route people generally take when they are going to Johannesburg
- there are some beautiful national parks along the way where you can camp and Addo Elephant Park near Port Elizabeth is worth a visit
- the Transkei is beautiful and fairly unspoilt but it is very rural and the roads may not be in very good condition, the coast is off the beaten track and you need to be careful there security-wise as it is very isolated
- if you are driving through the Karoo, don't wait until the last minute to fill up with petrol as there aren't that many petrol stations
- check www.kulula.com for value for money car hire

Where has all the wealth in Cape Town come from?
bschh
The hills of Cape Town have massive and contemporary homes. Who lives there? Who built them? I mean the majority. Americans? Arabs?
Answer
The bulk of the homes are owned by South Africans however there are a great deal of Germans located along Camps bay and the coast.
Cape Town is one of the most desirable areas in Africa and as a result many are willing to invest there.
The people that live on the mountain tend to be "new money" and more recent occupants to Cape Town. The older money is in places like Bishops court etc.
The bulk of the wealth comes from successful business people.
