South Africa

[slickpoppa]

I'm going to South Africa for 20 days in September. I'm flying into Cape Town and flying out of JoBurg. I'm 25, single, and going by myself, so I'm looking to have a good time as well as see all the sites. I've seen Peachy's thread, but I'm open to suggestions from anyone who's been there or lives there. I'm especially looking for advice on where to stay in JoBurg before my flight out. The stories about the city proper kind of scare me, so I'm considering staying in Sandton. Anyone know how convenient that is to the airport?
