Tanya Munro shares her incredible multi-country African adventure, focusing on South Africa in this first episode of a two-part series. After 35 years on her bucket list, she finally travelled through Johannesburg, Kruger National Park, Cape Town and the Garden Route, experiencing wildlife encounters, cultural discoveries and stunning landscapes.

• Best time to visit South Africa for wildlife viewing is during the dry season (June-July)
• Starting in Johannesburg provided important historical context through a Soweto township tour
• Thornhill Safari Lodge near Kruger offered incredible wildlife viewing including lions, cheetahs and elephants
• Cape Town surprised with its beauty, perfect weather and Table Mountain backdrop
• V&A Waterfront area provided safe, convenient accommodation with good security
• Garden Route tour covered 1,200km of diverse landscapes from mountains to coastline
• Blyde River Canyon (third largest canyon in world) was an unexpected highlight
• Game meats like kudu, springbok and ostrich were culinary standouts
• Cape Malay cooking class in Bo-Kaap offered cultural immersion through food
• Learning about South Africa's history early in the trip provides essential context

Join us next week as we continue Tanya's journey through Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe.
