Give it up for Cape Town
The Taj Hotel, South Africa
Picture, if you will, a city that combines the sunny, beach-oriented disposition of Sydney with the cosmopolitan edge of Amsterdam. It sounds too good to be true? Actually, that’s exactly what Cape Town’s like – except it has penguins as well. Fusing old and new is a key theme in South Africa’s biggest city – and nowhere more so than at the city’s newly opened Taj Cape Town.

The ten best ferry journeys in the world - see the sights at a fraction of the price.
Illala Ferry, Malawi
Ferry rides don't always have to take place on open seas. An unusual but enthralling alternative could be the Ilala ferry on Lake Malawi. The ferry is a lifeline for many communities who rely on its weekly delivery of goods. So, while relaxing in the bar or on the top deck (reserved for those with cabins), tourists can watch the comings and goings of local passengers, often to the lower decks where they play cards and cook dinner.
