Just got back from our trip to South Africa and all I can say is that the place is amazing. We're definitely going back the next chance we get and I highly suggest visiting if you have the chance. We did a little of everything while there. We spent our first two nights in the wine country an hour outside of Cape Town near Franschhoek. The wine there is amazing. I've never been to Napa or Sonoma, but my wife has and she says it is similar, but with more of an ability to move around and go from winery to winery. We spent our next three nights in a boutique hotel in Cape Town. We toured the city, hiked Table Mountain, and ate amazing food. Our next stop was three nights at a private game reserve next to Kruger National Park where we did five game drives and saw numerous animals, including the "Big 5". Finally, we traveled to Livingstone, Zambia for our final two nights to visit Victoria Falls. We stayed at a safari lodge with open air cottages, walked with lions, and toured the falls. All in all, it was a great trip and we were sad to come home. If it wasn't for malaria medication, it would have been perfect.
I'm very jealous! Sounds amazing! How was the walking with lions experience?
I assume you didn't go into the devil's pool?
What, no cage diving with the great whites?
