Located at the southernmost tip of the African continent, South Africa is a place where captivating culture and breathtaking nature harmoniously coincide. Renowned for its diverse ecosystem, it hosts an array of activities such as thrilling safaris at Kruger National Park, hiking to the awe-inspiring Table Mountain, and spotting the astonishing marine life along a vast coastline. Home to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned, the nation speaks volumes about novel historical narratives and the struggle against apartheid. South Africa's vibrant cities, like Johannesburg and Cape Town, are celebrated for their cosmopolitan atmosphere, highlighting delectable cuisine, world-class wineries, and a thriving art scene. A journey to South Africa provides an unforgettably rich tapestry of experiences that serve as a feast for the senses.

Plettenberg Bay

For sure safer than Joburg, but still South Africa so had to be vigilant. I recommend hiking Robberg, it was absolutely gorgeous. The people in Plett are so friendly and kind. The weather is strange, 4 seasons in a day.
