See? Things go well when you get rid of Apartheid-type nonsense.
South Africa is the best holiday destination in Africa - and it's official. At the World Travel Awards ceremony in London in November 2005, South Africa’s airline, hotels, airports and tourist attractions walked off with 16 of the 17 prize categories for the continent of Africa.
To determine the awards, some 156 000 travel agencies and professionals in over 140 countries vote over the internet for their leading travel destinations, airlines, hotels, personalities and companies around the world.
For the second year in a row the Saxon Hotel in Johannesburg was voted the World's Leading Boutique Hotel, beating the Soleil Hotel & Suites in Vancouver, the Sunset Marquis Hotel & Villas in California, Australia's Royce Hotel, the Metropolitan of London and the Delano in Miami.
