I'm a South African and about 2 years ago I posted a plan for an insane 1 month driving trip around South Africa.
Below find links too 2 videos I made showing the highlights from the trip. And my original travel plan.
One of the biggest highlights which wasn't even in the plan was Diving with Sharks(no cage) in Umkomaas.
Western and Eastern Cape
