Northern Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe had been awesome so far. Sunshine and even brighter smiles. And I had a feeling there was more left in the tank as I began my journey through Northern Zimbabwe https://youtu.be/-wgB24c2ioo In my time traveling through this country I usually felt...
Eastern Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe's Eastern Highlands are the reason I chose to transit this country for this part of Africa. Thanks to that one very useful night in Port Elizabeth, South Africa where my host Bernard gave me the scoop on where the pretty was in Southern Africa. Sit back and...
Southern Zimbabwe
South Africa was great. But it wasn't the Africa I had imagined. It felt westernized in a lot of ways (strip malls, fast food, etc.). When I heard it described as ''Africa Light'' this rung true with me. I was ready for the ''Real Africa'' ...
Best Places to Visit in South Africa
If you would rather watch a video version of this article scroll down below the text South Africa is a big country that can warrant many visits for the average person heading here on a holiday. Thankfully for you I am unemployed and have used my excessive free...
Mpumalanga & Limpopo Provinces of South Africa
I felt like I had seen it all in South Africa. The geographical diversity in this country is incredible. But I was still really excited for South Africa's two last provinces; Mpumalanga & Limpopo. Both of which were promising a small nation's worth of amazing...
Eswatini (Swaziland)
Lesotho, a small landlocked country within South Africa was a trip. A totally different experience from the bigger country it exists in. When I saw the small country of Eswatini (formerly known as Swaziland) on the map, I felt there was no other option than paying...
Kwazulu-Natal (North Coast, Hluhluwe Etc.)
I was excited but a tad worried about Kwazulu-Natal, also known as Zululand. I was told that if I didn't want to get robbed or killed I shouldn't ''Look at Zulus in their eyes'' . But given the prospects of South Africa's beautiful North Coast I was willing to take...
Durban, South Africa
I was really thankful that my new Afrikaan friends Ruuane and Tracy had rescued me from attempting to descend Sani Pass in Lesotho. Firstly, because coming down would have been very long or very dangerous, and because it allowed me to visit Durban. Which previously I...
Lesotho
I hadn't even heard of Lesotho before I came to Africa. It's a tiny country landlocked within South Africa. But yet it came up in conversation time and time again with locals and other tourists who had been able to visit it. ''You have to go to Lesotho'' they said. I...
South Africa’s Western & Eastern Cape
This is where my journey through Africa really begins. And what better way to get acquainted than jumping in the deep end. Since South Africa is one of the more expensive countries I've travelled, wild camping was on the menu. Hopefully I wasn't ...
