South Africa

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. 

Read our South Africa posts below for our recommended South Africa road trip itinerary, things to do in Cape Town, how to plan a self-drive Kruger safari on a budget and lots more useful tips.
