South Africa is a country that everyone must visit. I want to go back and do lots of the other things that I did not get to see or do. I loved this trip and I loved everything about the country. I am interested in going on safari in other countries. Even in South Africa, a lot of people spoke about Botswana.
The only thing I would change is Victoria Falls. I think everyone should go and see Victoria Falls, but I may save it for another trip where it is a bit more convenient. I wish I could have seen the Apartheid museum in Johannesburg.
South Africa is a meat eating society, so vegans, please note what you are getting yourself into. One of the guys at our safari lodge was a vegan, and he survived, but everything is meat oriented. I became very found of game meat while I was there.
Go to South Africa now. Learn about the history before you go, and get prepared to see wildlife that you never imagine seeing up close.
Love reading about your trips Josh. Miss you and wish you well!
