Looking for suggestions on how to spend 4 weeks in SA.
I would like to spend 1 week in different parts of the country.
I know there is lots to see and do in SA, so on this trip only 4 places. Don't what to rush around !
Able to take flights as mean of transport.
What parts do you suggest for a good mix of different areas ?
Also when is the best time to go, just before peak season are just after (what months).
ONE LOVE !!

A week in the Northern Cape, Kgalagadi, Lower Orange River and Namaqualand can be included if you have a spare week. Best is self-drive through the outback. Air-con makes anytime a good time.

Ah...
At the very least one week along Route 62 (don't miss the Robertson wineries or any of the many activities in Oudtshoorn)
Kruger is well worth a trip. Same with spending a week in KwaZulu-Natal (with a at least a daytrip to Lesotho)
Will you have your own transportation?
If you look in my profile, I have a travel blog with a lot of SA stuff. I'm 2/3 done with writing about this year's trip (and 100% done with writing about last year's trip hah!) - also links to my photos on flickr on the right-hand toolbar.

Where are you flying into ? Where do you depart from ?
Would suggest following peterscots itinerary except reverse options 2 and 3. Then a single car rental could be beneficial as you would be driving east then north CT - PE - Durban - Kruger - Joburg
