Road Trip's Podcast - Travel, Touring and Holidays in South Africa using the Road Trip mobile app

Tourism to South Africa: South Africa is a world-class tourist destination. These podcasts are a way to create interest in South Africa as a holiday and travel destination. We highlight interesting and cool history, explain monuments and memorials, put the history into context, and we hope to make your road trip through South Africa more interesting! Road Trip SA is a mobile app to help tourists find monuments, museums, statues and thousands of POI's. All the listings on the app have a photo, a brief description and some history of that spot. We hope to encourage downloads so clients can explore our history and culture. The narrator of the podcast has a tour and safari company called "Touch Africa Safaris"- http:///www.touch-africa-safaris.com

Beaufort West lies astride the N1, the main highway that stretches from Cape Town to Beit Bridge. Travellers on the route often use it as a very convenient overnight stop, and there are many really good accommodation options in the area - Lodges on game farms, B&B's, guest houses etc. The Karoo National Park is right there as well - this park and quite a few interesting spots in the town make it a possible destination, rather than a convenient fly-through when on the highway.

And a small hint - diesel prices vary greatly in this town - often well over R3.00 per litre difference - use PitStops to find the best prices. www.pitstops.co.za
