Make your way to South Africa. Though it may take a long amount of time to do so, it’s certainly worth it. Johannesburg is a city with much in the way of activity. Marks from the apartheid period still hang over the city like a tarp flapping in the wind. Aside from the various animal parks one can visit, there’s also Cape Town — a city buoyed by coastal landscapes, an emerging culinary scene, an appealing mix of cultures, and unabated beauty. Simply put, there’s so much to enjoy in South Africa.
