Unlike most countries, South Africa has three capital cities with Pretoria, Bloemfontein, where J.R.R. Tolkien was born, and Cape Town each housing different branches of the government. Cape Town is one of the world’s most striking cities, overlooked by flat-topped Table Mountain, and is characterized by charming waterfronts. The country’s largest city and financial center is Johannesburg which is full of art galleries, museums, the Mandela House national monument and plenty of shopping venues like the Carlton Centre. Nearby is the Cradle of Humankind, a paleoanthropological site that earned its name for being where the largest number of hominin fossils were ever found, with some being as old as 3.5 million years. Stellenbosch is a picturesque university town with a thriving art scene, and the Jonkershoek Nature Reserve nearby. For some of the most scenic hiking trails in the country, visit Drakensberg and see South Africa's tallest mountain the Thabana Ntlenyana, which translates to “beautiful little mountain." For a more relaxing trip, be sure to take full advantage of the warm climate by visiting the expansive sandy beaches near Durban, known as the Golden Mile.
