South Africa is like an entrance gate to the rest of the continent. Its easy to travel around, if you are healthy careful it is pretty safe and even though they do have 11 local languages along with African you can easily survive with English.

South Africa has everything to offer even for a demanding traveler. From Mountains to beaches, diving to safaris, grasslands to hills, greenery to townships all interwoven with the local culture and good wine 🙂

At the beginning we were struggling to find accommodation, specially when we wanted to camp, because for safety reason most of the accommodation is not marked or we come across fancy expensive lodges. But then, one day, we stayed in a hostel in Drakensberg and get copy of Coast to Coast guidebook and happily moved from place to place camping or hosteling depending on the night frosting.
