Nightlife in South Africa is on the whole very good, with a choice of bars in all the main cities, and resorts where you can chill out with the locals. In South Africa, people tend to go out later than in the UK, so restaurants are a popular place to start the evening before heading for the pubs and clubs which tend to stay open until around 3 in the morning, particularly in the tourist areas, and there is something for everyone, whether you want to hang out with other backpackers, or the more refined crowd that you might find in one of the many sophisticated wine bars.
