Where to stay:
16) For backpackers, consider staying in Soweto at the Diamond Digger's Lodge or 17) Bob's Bunkhouse near the airport.
18) For budget travelers, the Sunbury Bed and Breakfast is a great option or 19) the slightly pricier Turrent Guesthouse, both in the fun and bohemian suburb of Melville in close walking distance to bars, cafes, restaurants, and shops.
How to get to and from:
19) Long-haul bus companies are a good bet, our best experiences and most reliable service was with Intercape bus company.
20) Within South Africa, discount airlines Kulula and 1time are options to consider when South Africa Airways prices are too high.
Pretoria
What to Do:
20) You might consider a tour of the Jacaranda City (named after the tree by the same name), where you can visit historical sites, including the President's Office, Melrose House, the Church Square, Kruger House, and the Voortrekker Monument as well as the Union Buildings.
21) You can escape for the afternoon to the National Zoological Gardens and head up the cable car to see a nice overview of the city.
22) For shopping, Pretoria has a decent-sized mall called Menlyn Park, and a smaller shopping center in Hatfield.
Where to Eat/Drink and enjoy the Nightlife:
23) Head to Hatfield for fun restaurants, bars, and nightlife -- with ten neat places all next to eachother on Burnett street, you don't have to go far.
24) Start your morning with a delicious cup of coffee and free wifi at News Cafe
