Your video just came up on my feed! Absolutely loved it. Def a new sup to your KZfaq. Never park to close to anyone at an intersection/traffic light. Always leave yourself enough space to manoeuvre either direction in case of smash and grab! Very important useful tip to keep in mind. Hope you enjoy South Africa/Africa. You truely missing out not going through Eastern Cape. July to December is great for whale watching and the dolphins ❤️ happy safe travels ❤️❤️🇿🇦❤️❤️

Hi Guys. I am originally from South Africa, but have been living in California for the last 40 years. I need to commed you on how your vlog highlights everything good about the country. It encapsulates, the beauty of the country, the openness and helpfulness of the people, the melting of first and third world culture and who can forget the fabulous food. Of all the vlogs I have watched of people travelling there, this is the only one that has made me homesick. Thanks for doing such a great job

Consider changing your plans, once done with Victoria Falls, cut through Botswana into Namibia and make your way down to Cape Town…then head back via Garden Route back to Durban. If you do decide to do this and if you’re able to pull this off, make sure to plan the road trip down to the Cape so that you end up spending as much time in Cape Town and in the process, spoil yourselves to a much needed break (recovery time). Safe travels and welcome to South Africa 🇿🇦 PS: try and stay off the dirt roads (where you have a choice) it will save you a lot of time and Trudy will thank you for it.

South Africa is my favourite country in the world and Africa is my favourite continent in the world, a close 2nd is South America. I've been to every continent and 54 countries and you can't beat the food/people/wildlife/nature, everything in South Africa is amazing. I'm from Australia, love my country, South Africa is like Western Australia x10, if that makes sense, wait until you see the wineries, scenic mountain passes and all the South African people invite you into their homes, even if they don't know you. Beware of the monkeys when they're on the road, especially when someone runs over one of their family, the rest of the many family members will congregate around the dead monkey on the road, it's so sad.

You are going to love South Africa. Such an amazing country. Kruger is my favourite. Saw the big 5 while we were there. I have a fantastic game lodge that borders Kruger. Not expensive as you think and you’re treated like kings and queens. The lodge is on watering hole so you get to see the animals come up for water. We stayed twice at the game lodge because we loved the lodge so much. The lodge is in the Klaserie reserve, so if you’re interested I can give you the information. Also make you stay in the rondovals in the Kruger park. Rent for the night, so worth it just for the experience. So excited for this series ❤

Dear. C & M. I've been watching your channel for years (even before battling Leukemia in Hungary for 2 years). I am originally from Durban and this made me so happy. South Africa is rated the friendliest country in the world and Durbanites are the friendliest in SA, thank you for visiting my home and making me smile today. PS, when you go back, you should visit 1. Mandala Cafe (tell them ShanShan sent you), 2. The midlands meander 3. Nelson Mandela capture sight and 4. Shongweni farmers market. ...in Mozambique try take a day trip by boat to Bazaruto island for snorkeling and see the ocavango delta in Botswana, house on fire in Eswatini (and the Eswatini forests) and back in SA go see the garden route for wine, the cape penguins, the Transkei (hogs back & amapondo - amazing sea food and world most shark infested waters), cape Vidal wetlands and st lucia for hippos

Last time I visited South Africa was in the 70's when I and my mate entered the country illegally crossing the Limpopo river a couple of miles from Beitbridge, Rhodesia. With military border patrols roaming around, landmines, freedom fighters and a potential crocodile attack, it amazed us we managed to cross unscathed. Those were the days.

This is so exciting! Last vlog ( i think) you put us in a seat behind you both, so we were looking out between yous, and i was transported back to long car journeys as a child and remembering our drives from Lusaka to Durban and Cape Town. Wow, and now there you are! One time we were in a Humber Hawk where i sat on the armrest in the middle front seat, at least twice in a Chevvy station wagon. My Dad worked with the Mechanical Services Branch in Lusaka first for many years, then at Lusaka University Teaching Hospital). Perhaps you can occasionally give us the back seat view again? Ps we used to stay in Amanzimtoti, Durban - wonderful.)

Firstly, welcome to Sunny South Africa and I wish you folks an amazing and safe trip and enjoyable safe journey. Your trip up to Kruger is an excellent idea. Via Zim to Vic falls and then through botswana and Namibia will reward you hands down, so much to see and experience. I would however highly recomend your tavel through Namibia to Cape Town then visit the Winelands of the Cale and then travel back to Durban through the garden route. You will not be sorry. Enjoy, safe travels and have fun.

You're rough and tough when you come from The Bluff. Really enjoyed this video. Spent a lot of my childhood growing up there and it brought back so many memories.
