I’ve been travelling to South Africa since 2015 when I was fortunate enough to be offered an all expense trip to Durban for the MTV Base “Mama Awards”….who gonna say no to that??
Not Me!
Since then, it has been a roller coaster ride, and I’ve knocked off, Capetown, Johannesburg, Petoriaand what an awesome experience! I love that S.A has so much to offer in terms of experiences, you can go romantic on the beach, or get your blood pumping with speed boats and theme park ride, spend a day at some beautiful spa’s lazing around of shop till you drop! I encourage you to embrace the spirit of adventure, test yourself, push your boundaries, and laugh a lot along the way.So sit back, and enjoy a traveler’s experience.
