South Africa by Caravan

by Myndo - last update: Sep 7, 2004

Map of South Africa
Ok. I have to admit, this was not my idea, but when my parents offered me to come with them into the holidays one last time, I couldnīt resist: especially, when I heard the Destination: South Africa.

So here are my tips.

Time: 3 1/2 weeks

Caravan: Spirit 5 (made for 5 people, very good for us 3), no 4WD


Route:
from Johannesburg to Cape Town

Johannesburg - Middleburg - Botshabele Camp - Sabie - Pilgrims Rest - Blyde River Canyon - Hoedspruit - Orpen - Kruger Ntl Park - Kirkmans Camp - Swaziland - Westland Park - Durban - Shell Beach - East London - Port Alfred - Addo Elefant Ntl Park - Port Elizabeth - Cape Recife - Jeffreys Bay - Tsitsikamma Ntl Park - Natures Valley - Plettenburg Bay - Knysna - Wilderness Ntl Park - Outshoom - Robinson Pass - Mossel Bay - Swellendam - Stellenboesch - Fish Hoek - Cape Horn - Tablemountains - Cape Town

The blue underlined places I have more tips on (and they are my favorites). They are links direct to the pages. For the rest, see the tips on this side.
Stamps and visa
... and the first stamps from Africa in my passport.
South Africa and Swaziland.
The blue sheet on the left is the visa - with a barcode. quite clever, I think.

 I really like your lion picture! They used to sell lots of proteas in Switzerland years ago although many of them were actually from Israel. I just realised that I haven't seen any for a long time.

 Oh, you are so lucky to have been invited along on this trip!! I've always wanted to do that coastal drive from Durban to Cape Town myself. What amazing scenery you saw in this wild and beautiful country! Thanks for the tour.
