South Africa Travel Review: History, Culture, 10 Nights

While everything was seamless and I enjoyed the experience immensely, I was disappointed in the last-minute change to our accommodations in Cape Town. Additionally, it seemed the transports to the airport erred on the side of overly extreme caution and resulted in our spending way too much time sitting in airports waiting on flights.
