Adventures in South Africa

Heading down to South Africa at the edge of the continent, we spent 2 weeks on a road trip across this beautiful and vibrant country. Covering about 2,400 km (nearly 1,500 miles), we took our time to meet new friends, take in the natural beauty, and learn about the country’s rich history and diversity.
