    • Pilgrim's Rest is not really a tourist trap, but it could be if you are not careful! It is actually a collection of preserved buildings from the late 1800's depicting what a gold mining town looked like at that time. The town is located in a very picturesque setting in the eastern Drakensbergs and there are a number of interesting buildings and restaurants. There are a few shops for tourist trinkets as well.

     All great tips for SA Glenn.    		lynnehamman Fri Feb 27, 2009 13:50 UTC
     As an ex-South African I found your page & tips to be spot on. We were in Kruger 2 years ago- and it really is a wonderfulplace to visit. (Iliked that Canadian flag gesture!)

     Very nice and informative. Should be great country to visit.    		kokoryko Mon Jan 21, 2008 22:04 UTC
     Thanks for this introduction to South Africa, Glenn. The Drakensberg seems to have excellent hikes or even treks. And here is one (if not the only) VT-tip about a prison! Merci.
