Cruise Along the South African Coastline to Experience my Country

Enjoy a cocktail while you enjoy your cruise.
South Africans love their cruises. MSC Cruises South Africa, which has been offering cruises from South Africa for many years,  offers a fun way of exploring the South African and African coastlines.  Cruises usually depart from either the Durban or Cape Town harbours and can last anything from three days to two weeks, depending on your chosen itinerary and destination.  Interesting ports of call include some islands in Mozambique (Portuguese and Bazaruto islands) and in the Indian Ocean (Madagascar, Reunion and Mauritius).  

The South African cruise calendar usually starts in November each year. The well-known MSC Opera cruise liner will be used for the 2014/2015 South African cruise season.  The MSC Opera is a luxurious cruise liner  with eight decks and a capacity of  20 55 passengers in 856 cabins.  While cruising to interesting South African and African destinations, life on board the ship will keep you entertained throughout your journey. Having already cruised three times, I can attest to the excellent value for your money while having the best time of your life.  

The easiest way to book one of these cruises is to visit the webpage of MSC Cruises where you will find information on all their cruises and prices.

Mini trains at Cedar Junction Theme Park. Want to take your children for an outing? The school holidays or weekends can be the ideal time to take them for a train ride to keep them busy.

C'est la Vie (translated that is life ) in Centurion is definitely a favourite in that it has great food and lots of fun activities to keep children busy.   It boasts a centrally located coffee shop and separate play areas for young and older children.   A water slide and three wheels go karts for the older children add to all the fun.

Although it is a big city with a population of about 2.3 million, it is still small enough to create a feeling of being in a large town. The best time of the year to visit Pretoria is in October and November when all the Jacaranda trees are in full bloom (the reason why the city is also known as the Jacaranda city).
