Knysna among top 5 African cities   
View  21 comments

Conde Nast Travel has revealed the results of their annual "Best in the World" reader survey and no less than two South African cities made it onto the Top 5 African cities list. Having made it into the second position of the CN Travel World's Best Cities list, it's no surprise that Cape Town came out tops among the African cities, however, the runner-up most definitely came as a huge surprise.  With a reader rating of 72.2, it wasn't Johannesburg, Durban or Port Elizabeth that got the accolade, but quaint and quirky Knysna!

Readers rate each city on six different criteria and Knysna's results look as follows:
Ambience: 85.5 - Friendliness: 83.9 - Lodging: 78.0 - Restaurants: 72.1 - Culture/Sites: 68.3 - Shopping: 49.0

More than 8 million readers from across the globe completed the survey. Click to read more

TripAdvisor poll names Cape Town as one of the top tourist destination in the world
May 04, 2011

Chosen by a poll of actual travellers and TripAdvisor users, the annual Travellers’ Choice Awards recognizes the people’s choice of destinations from across the planet. After being placed at 25th in 2010, Cape Town has trumped traditional travel cities like Paris, France (placed fourth), London, United Kingdom (eighth), and Rome, Italy (seventh) to take the top spot.

The world’s best known (and most feared) customer-driven traveller advisory site, TripAdvisor, has given Cape Town a new reason to celebrate its tourism status - by naming it the Number One Destination of the Top 25 Destinations in the World in the Tripadvisor 2011, Travellers’ Choice Awards - read more about the top tourist destination in the world.

What excellent news to be able to do business with people who so genuinely care about customer service!! Your guestbook holds true to its word. Thank you very much.

Much appreciated.

Richard, Liz and boys.

The trip was well organised with the travel documents perfectly arranged, with maps, advices, suggestions and of course, the instructions on how to find our accommodations. All of them were much to our satisfaction with some of them even exceeding our expectations.

Hi Clayton
We often have guests arriving, frustrated and in a bad mood because they could not find us. The travel agents they book through do not supply any maps, directions or even any recommended tours or things to do.  We were shown the package that you supply, it is very professional and very very well organised. 'It is a prepared scrap book for the holiday'.

All your clients speak very highly of you and your team. Have a wonderful festive season and a very prosperous New Year.
Regards,

Ian and Sylvia

I don't know where to start! A very big thank-you for a wonderful holiday. Your planning and itinerary were superb.
We were very impressed with South Africa and its friendly people and look forward to returning in a few years.

Dear Steve,
Just a short note to pass on our thanks to Carina for doing a brilliant job on our recent trip to SA and Namibia....at such short notice she did an excellent job and is a credit to your company........I work as a consultant to Richard Branson of Virgin and will certainly recommend Selftours as a Travel Company for Virgin to use.....this may or may not have an effect.....but I will ensure he and the team have your name...... once again many thank to a really nice professional lady...... Carina is tops....

What the world has to say about .... CAPE TOWN .......

In November 2002 on the BBC 1 Television programme, '50 Places to See Before You Die', of all the possible tourist destinations around the world, over 20 000 viewers voted the Mother City, Cape Town, as the world’s best holiday city.

Cape Town is one of the world's most sought after tourist destinations - having won an array of international travel awards, some of which are:

  • Best City in the World - UK 2004 Telegraph Travel Award
  • One of the Top 14 Great Things in the World - National Geographic
  • The American 2004 Conde Nast Top 100 Readers Choice Awards.

Many international airlines land at Cape Town International and this is where your holiday starts.
