We spent three months in South Africa and it was one of the best trips we’ve ever taken. 

We drove across the country from Johannesburg to Cape Town via safaris in Kruger (one of our top experiences ever!), hiking in the Drakensberg mountains, and beach hopping along the Wild Coast and Garden Route. We ended with two months in Cape Town, one of our new favourite cities.
