From Lonely Planet:
SOUTH AFRICA
British holidaymakers take note – in 2009 this was one of the places where the British pound actually strengthened against the local currency (the rand). South Africa is not only about an amazing climate, vast unspoilt scenery, balmy sandy beaches, extraordinary wildlife and adventure activities, but the cost of living is low, so it’s also excellent value for money. (Expect prices to skyrocket around June and early July when the FIFA World Cup is on though.) For unbelievably vast views, take the cable car up Table Mountain in the morning or the evening – visibility is best early or late.
