South Africa is a pretty amazing country to explore, especially if you’re a fan of action-packed adventure, delicious food and literally hundreds of elephants… I’ve gotta say, I was in my element!
After our last trip to South Africa, where we visited Kruger National park, catching up with the ‘big 5’, we knew we wanted to return!
If Kruger hadn’t spoiled us enough, the vibrant city of Cape Town sure did where we tried some some of the most delicious restaurants (See a local’s guide to the best Cape Town restaurants, here), discovered the breathtaking landscape of Cape Peninsular (see our post, here) and even spotted a few penguins sunbathing on their own little beach (you can see how to see them in our post, here) – yup, they’re as cute as you can imagine!
