True story!! Come back and visit again soon!!

Hi Meghan and Matt! I love watching your African adventure! Meghan your reaction to your first time encounters is hilarious, but also I recognize it from our first zebra’s, giraf, pinguïns.😃. It’s magical hey! Loved your visit to the Robberg Nature Reserve. Never been there, so on my to-do-list. We travelled to SA a first time in 1996 for our honeymoon. Been back many times, with our children too. Done Namibia and Botswana a first time last year. I can highly recommend! I guess you found out by now: once you visited Africa, you get hooked and want to go back... Must go watch you Addo edition now! 🦏🐘🦛

The garden route is so beautiful, as a South African Im glad you enjoyed it, your footage and information is on point, there is so much to do in that route that you need a minimum of a month and a half to really explore many hidden gems in the area, there several animal parks to explore and the icon world record breaking bunjee Jump!!!!!

Storms River and Eastern Cape in general is my favorite part of South Africa 💓 I will look out to see if you travelled more of the Eastern Cape.

Very nicely done!

Quick tip: If you're in the Mosselbay/George/Wilderness area, and you want to skip the rainy weather, just head over to behind that mountain @ 06:52 in the direction of Oudtshoorn. The weather is almost all the time sunshine because the rain-clouds get blocked

I will say if you evaluate the standard of Stay + View + Food + Reception, Cape Town is the no.1 spot in the word. I just had a 3-course fine dining from Durbanville Hill wine, for 295 Rand and receive 3 tasting wines for free. It is easily worth $128 from any other wine farm in the world.

Love you guys, and I hope you enjoyed South Africa, next time you must pop into Nelspruit(Mbombela), personally to me the most beautiful little city in SA. Wait, maybe you did come to Nelspruit, will watch further and see!
