We got in at the CCC (Jardines del Rey). It took around 45 minutes to get to the resort - because the Gran Muthu Rainbow is one of the furthest ones west, we had to make 2 or 3 stops along the way to drop people off before we arrived.

Have a wonderful time! 😎☀️🎉

I'll do my best: 1) Pretty much any, and I think so(?). 2) No. 3) Yes, there are two beaches on-resort, one that doesn't allow swimming (it's too rocky) and another with canabas. 4) There are definitely vegetarian dishes, but the food selection is limited overall.

I never said it was. I mentioned the general area the Garden Route covered, and described the road trip in order to get there. Here's the transcript, or watch it again :) “Now, technically, the Garden Route is generally considered to be the 300 kilometres stretch of coast, starting from Mossel Bay in the West to Port Elizabeth in the East. But because we needed to rent a car from Cape Town in order to get there, make a few stops along the way, and return to Cape Town once we were done, our whole Garden Route road trip ended up being closer to about 1200 kilometres in the end. I can’t go over everything about the Garden Route, but here are a few of my highlights, and some things I think you should keep in mind if you go. The first part of our road trip leaving Cape Town was going for a drive through the stunning coastal highway of Chapman’s Peak.”

Thank you 😀

I was in Cape Town for about 3 wonderful weeks!

The garden route towns are a whole different vibe during December as they are holiday destinations for most South Africans

Thanks very much! I’m still new to KZfaq, so that’s very encouraging to hear. It was a great trip.

I really liked it ,it feels like you got your info from the locals not just tour guides. Also love that you visited the smaller towns. You really get a feel for SA and the people there. Cape Town is a great city. But sometimes you will sit in a restaurant and there are no South Africans dining there.

Thanks! 🙂

Thanks, I really appreciate it! It was an incredible trip and this was a lot of fun for me to put together 🙂

Hope you enjoy it!

I agree!

Thanks! What I mentioned applies to Amsterdam itself - but other towns/cities may have their own tourist taxes.

Thanks - I appreciate it! It’s an interesting development, for sure.

Don’t go to mazatlan if you don’t like banda, take yo ass to Cancun then!

Thanks so much. More coming soon :)

Thanks!!

❤️

I did - the resort is pretty much in its own away from central Mazatlán and I didn’t sense any safety issues being on the resort.

I appreciate it - thanks!

Thanks so much!

Agreed about the penguins!! 🙂

Thanks so much - that's so nice of you to say! There's more to come soon. And Croatia's definitely on my travel list!

Unfortunately not!

It was where we spent the most time in the Garden Route!

Thanks for the kind comment - and hope you have a great time!

Wow - thanks so much. More to come soon!

Thanks - really glad to hear that!

Thanks - I appreciate it! It was super fun for me to put together 🙂 Before I went, I watched this video, which helped to put safety into context. Check it out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bs2JaJaLsb6aoY0.htmlsi=V5xk9O-IATukcZTg

As a South African I don’t really believe the majority of the country is any more dangerous for visitors than most other countries. Watch your belongings in the big cities and I wouldn’t wander around unknown areas at night. The good things far outweigh the negatives. You will be warmly welcomed.

As an ex Capetonian, there is a high crime rate and it pays to read up on safety before visiting and take advice on where to drive etc. Having said that, loadshedding apart, it’s paradise for the moneyed classes.

Thanks so much!
