Table MountainSouth Africa and the city of Cape Town in particular have received some fantastic news in that Cape Town has been named as the number 1 city in the 2011 TripAdvisor Travellers Choice Destination Awards ahead of other cities such as London, Sydney and New York. This bodes extremely well for anyone looking to holiday in South Africa as the ranking is completely unbiased.

TripAdvisor is the world's largest travel site that assists customers in gathering travel information, posting reviews and opinions of travel related content and engaging in interactive travel forums. TripAdvisor is a public forum where the users get to share information and comment on travel destinations and services, allowing for good and bad comments. The website services are free to users and acts as an advertising model.

According to TripAdvisor, these awards honour travel spots and hotels worldwide, based on the opinions of TripAdvisor travellers.

The top ten destinatinations in 2011 were:

1.   Cape Town, South Africa
2.   Sydney, Australia
3.   Machu Pichu, Peru
4.   Paris, France
5.   Rio de Janiero, Brazil
6.   New Your City, USA
7.   Rome, Italy
8.   London, United Kingdom
9.   Barcelona, Spain
10. Hong Kong, China

Western Cape Tourism Minister, Alan Winde welcomed the announcement: "To be ranked first out of all the cities in the world, and against global destinations of this calibre, speaks volumes about the strength of our offering. It is especially exciting for me that these results are based on the experiences of travellers who have visited the various destinations".

What our guests have to say...

We have just returned from our third holiday organised for us by Journey Into Africa. As always we have been delighted with the immaculate organisation of the trip which this time was quite complex. All the aspects of the trip flowed seamlessly from one to another with all the transfers taking place smoothly. Our stay at the Royal Livingstone was relaxing and a good base to do the activities around Victoria Falls. The game drives at Chobe Botswana, were very productive with our guide ensuring we had good sightings of many different animals. Golf at Fancourt was relaxed and a great place to end our stay in South Africa. We would certainly recommend booking with JIA. Dealing over the internet is no problem and queries are always answered immediately. We would certainly return for a fourth time.
