Hey! We traveled in August. August onwards is good month for both Kruger animals spotting and also for Cape Town as it is the end of rainy season. Have a great trip!
Stick to touristy places. Don’t visit isolated areas specially post dark. Don’t park at random places but at safe parking slots. Don’t take ride/lift from unknown people and only book cabs from official cab providers
Hey i loved the video and plan to replicate the journey you took on your trip, as you mentioned on Day 4 you went inside the kruger national park and spent the day there, how did you plan it, i suppose it was not a game drive so the lodge provided their vehicle?
Hey, where did you stay in Cape town? also while coming from Hermanus, you basically took an long route just to visit Chapman's peak drive correct? as you would have already crossed cape town while in transit from Hermanus
Hey! We stayed at DoubleTree by Hilton Cape Town - Upper Eastside. We directly went from Hermanus to Cape Town & checked into our hotel. We then drove to Chapmans Peak in the evening.
Hey! You can find all details of expenses on my South Africa travel guide ruclips.net/video/QJjmEzevQgE/видео.htmlsi=NHmI0gdm7r93e2SA But I think without flight it was around 2.5Lakhs for a couple
Very informative and a detailed video, thanks a lot!! We are planning for our trip to South Africa, however coming across many articles and advisories mentioning it not to be a safe country for tourists too. How was your experience with respect to safety please?
We had a wonderful experience but we were being extra careful. it’s a safe country as long as you stick to some general guidelines! We were there for 11 days.. don’t have a single incident to tell you where we felt we were not safe. We avoided isolated areas and made sure that we parked our car at designated parking slots to avoid car break- ins.
Basis your road trip experience could you please help understand what are the things to keep note of while looking for a rental car, fir the garden route road trip?

Yes! We were in South Africa for 11 days and didn’t have a single safety issue. You just have to be vigilant and avoid isolated areas (specially at night) and everything will be fine
The most comprehensive itinerary. Very useful. Anyone visiting South Africa would benefit.

Hey! We had to book it separately and our lodge people helped us book the entire safari and we had to pay some extra amount for it
Hello, who did you book your safari with ?
It was included in our lodge stay. And the full day safari we did was also arranged by our lodge owners so didn’t have to book separately

Thanks a lot! Just planning an Africa trip. Could you give us a rough estimate of your costs apart from flights?

Did you get any vaccination before you went to S Africa? Like for malaria, yellow fever etc
No vaccination required for South Africa.
Hi .. did you needed yellow fever vaccination for south africa due to transit at addis ababa!!!
Not if the transit is less than 6 hours!
@@Trippylens_ Hi again. one more question - for renting car Indian driving licence is valid? or IDP needed?
@@dhavalukani you don’t need IDP for South Africa. Just Indian driving license (in English) works!
@@Trippylens_ hey can you share the details of the lodge where you stayed in kruga
@@swatijain6074 hey we stayed at Toro Yaka Bush Lodge.
Is it safe to visit South Africa? please let me know the safety issues.

Not fit for most people, almost all the time you were running behind animals.
Umm it’s called jungle safari and you sit in a jeep and chase animals 🤣You don’t run behind them so how is it not ‘fit’ for most people?
