South Africa

November - December 1996

We started our South African adventure in Cape Town. We spent a day visiting the Cape Peninsula and another visiting the wineries in and around Stellenbosch. We then took the Garden Route, visiting towns such as Hermanus, George, Plattenberg Bay and an ostrich farm in Oudtshorn. After Port Elizabeth we drove inland passing through Addo Elephant N.P., Graaf-Reinet, Kimberley and Bloemfontein. We drove to Lesotho and from there on to Clarens, Pietermaritzburg and Durban. After Durban we spent two nights in Swaziland. From Swaziland we drove to Hazy View from where we visited Kruger N.P. Next, we drove to Pretoria and Sun City and finally Johannesburg. We then flew to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe for some great whitewater rafting on the Zambesi. We flew back to Johannesburg and eventually home.
