World travelers are often asked, “What is your favorite country and why?” After exploring more than 30 countries, I confidently assert that South Africa holds the top spot in my preferences. Join me on this journey as I delve into the reasons behind my choice—the people, the history, the landscape, and the culture. Every aspect of this breathtakingly beautiful nation is etched into my soul.
Embark on this trip to explore the charming town of Cape Town, surrounded by scenic mountains and shores. Immerse yourself in the history of apartheid, visit the southernmost point of Africa, encounter the big five on a thrilling safari, and drive along the picturesque Garden Route, stopping at various hiking trails and serene beaches.
