GARDEN ROUTE – It starts from Witsand and ends at the boarder of Tsitsikamma Storms River, a total of 750 km from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth. Approximately 300 km along the beautiful coast side of the Indian Ocean. We did it on a motorbike for seven days! Along the Garden Route, you can go diving with white sharks in Gansbaai, hiking in L’Agulhas, visit Tsitsikamma national park and more. Trust me, you will have an amazingly unforgettable experience seeing wild animals and nature along the entire Garden Route! – You might want to bring along a GoPro camera too if you plan to ride a motorbike.
GOLFING – Year on year South Africa is reaffirming its place as one of the top golfing destinations in the world as it has incredible views and every shot you play is the one you will remember. You may see running deer watching your shots on the greens; you will hear the ocean and smell the sea water. You probably will lose a few balls in the Indian Ocean, because the course challenges you with an over the ocean shot. If you are looking to check off playing at some of the world’s most iconic golf courses, then South Africa is THE PLACE for you!
CULTURE, POINT OF HUMAN ORIGINS – South Africa is famous for its diverse cultures and religions. Most importantly, you should not miss visiting the place where allegedly humans originated. It is in Mossel Bay and can only be accessed by a local guide. You will find a lot of early evidence for modern human
behaviour. By listening to the history, you will be awakened by the human spirit and get inspired to discover yourself. Once inhabited by our ancestors over 200,000 years ago, this spectacularly beautiful location can certainly make you think.
I know that South Africa has a high level of crime, but in my
opinion, this has been over exaggerated by the media. There is a huge gap between rich and poor, but you can be easily touched by seeing people helping each other. Giving a small amount of money or ordering pizza for hungry people on the street will make their day as well as close your daily adventures with a heartly smile.
