I am from Nepal. I've been to South Africa 5 times and travelled all 9 Provinces by road. I would love to do it all over again. There is NO other country as beautiful 🇿🇦❤️
As a South African who has a travel agency based in South Africa, I really loved this video. It's positive videos like these that help awaken tourism in our county after covid. South Africa is a beautiful country with so much to offer.
Wonderful video, well done! It's also worth mentioning that lodges like Varty's camp at Londolozi are really expensive and unaffordable for most tourists and locals. Kruger National park is a much more affordable safari if you're on a budget.

I live here in Capetown. We love nature and the outdoors. Sabi Sands is unfortunately unaffordable on our currency unless you earn big bucks. Kruger is wonderful. Another reserve is Pilanesberg close to Johannesburg where you can see a lot of game in a single day.
I have been a silent watcher for a long time but just had to say that your filming, story telling and imagery is just so incredible. It feels like watching a National Geographic documentary every time. Thank you for all your hard work and sharing this with us! ❤
Stunning!!! As a solo female traveler myself, I love how your videos highlight how thrilling it can be to experience the world on your own. I always meet amazing people and seem more connected to a place when I'm solo. Thanks for inspiring my next trip!

This video has truly inspired me to visit South Africa now! The beauty of the country and what it has to offer was strikingly captured through the lens of your camera!!
As a South African it is so nice to hear that you enjoyed your stay in our beautiful home country. There is so much more to see. Bring more of your friends!
South African here (who makes TH-cam videos) I make videos about the BTS life of living here. Would love to know what kind of videos you'd like to see in the future
South Africa is an amazing country and I’m always talking to people about the country, but it’s a place you have to experience in person. I lived and went to school in Cape Town - amazing and life changing. What a great video and hope to see more!
I've been waiting for this one for a long time and it did not disappoint! Absolutely breathtaking and a beautiful tribute to the magic of that land! Welcome to my travel wish list, South Africa.
I am a very proud 59yr old South African/Capetonian and this video was very well done indeed. You certainly chose the absolute best locations to stay. If you stick to fairly basic rules you will not have any safety concerns. I don't think there is any city in the world that is safe for a solo female tourist and we are no different. Outside of our government we have the best country in the world!
Been to South Africa twice and spent some time at Ulusaba in Sabi Sands both times. I’ve since been on safari other places in Africa and around the world. I remain convinced that Sabi Sands spoiled me, as far as the best overall safari experience. Nothing compares.
Allison, You are the absolute best cinematographer I have seen on TH-cam! Your stories, close-ups, and flair for beauty are amazing! I just signed up for film classes to up my game. You have inspired me to travel solo again and take my videos to a higher level, thank you so much!
This is amazing and so beautiful! South Africa is on my bucket list for sure. I cannot get over how you can just be out in the open so close to the lions like that in an open vehicle!!!!! My jaw is on the floor
This video took my breath away!!! Your travel vids are always cinematically beautiful, but it’s your narrating it’s thoughtful and authentic 💓 every trip you post feels like the one of my dreams!
Woooaaah seeing these animals you captured really sparked this child-like enthusiasm and happiness in me, incredible videography. I am road tripping South Africa in a week I guess I have never been this excited!!!
South Africa looks so so beautiful! It's been on my travel list as well for a while. I've been to Kenya and Masaai Mara national park but I'd love to explore more countries and areas in Africa. I love this video!
south africa has been on my travel wishlist for years and i’m finally planning to visit this september! this video made me much more excited for the trip!
From someone who’s lived in South Africa for five years, you explained everything spot on and so well! You really gave the viewer a great idea of what Cape Town and Kruger is like 😄
you literally are a cinematic genius your vlogs are STUNNINGGG omg, I never had south africa on my bucket list, but youve made me want to go 😍 AMAZINGGGG
The quality with which she captures each frame in detail along with her beautiful narration deserve nothing less but love and gratitude....... Thankyou
Thanks for such a great video of South Africa. I am South African and appreciate how others will get to see some of best that our country has to offer.
Thank you for visiting our country❤ i’ve been here my whole life, so you get kind of used to it, but its wonderful to appreciate it again through a tourist’s eyes
I'm so glad you had the opportunity to experience my home country. It is a magical landscape with the most beautiful beaches in the world. Come back soon!
Thank you for capturing my home & country so beautifully. I am proudly South African living in Cape Town, it truly is the most beautiful place in the world. SO much culture, beauty and so many incredible activities, restaurants and more to see. It is perfectly safe when staying in the hub of the city and the Atlantic seaboard. Just don’t walk the streets on your own at night and you’ll be perfectly fine! A big misconception is that the areas tourists visit are unsafe, this is not true. Majority of crime occurs in the neighbourhoods that tourists would never visit, they are far out of the hub. The safari looked incredible, hope you’ll be back soon ❤️❤️
I grew up in South Africa and live in New York now! I was in Kruger many times and also lived in Cape Town for 1 year. Thanks for sharing, your voice is great at narration of the travel and being a former South African I can say that you REALLY know what you are talking about in your video...thx!
I like the sound of this guy, I am also a travel enthusiast but sadly I don’t have the financial power to live my dreams of a n adventurous life, if it’s possible I would also like to do business with this guy, what is the best way I can use to reach out to him
Cape Town is one of my favorite places in the world and you captured it so well! I traveled there in 2019 and I was alone for part of my trip and with friends for the other part. I was super careful in the city and booked Airbnb experiences like hiking Table Mountain, so that I could do those bucket list things with a group & a guide. It truly is one of the most amazing places in the world and your story telling and video footage is incredible. So glad I found your channel :)
Awesome video Allison promoting our beautiful country. As a tour guide myself you've definitely done us proud. Hope to welcome you back soon. Stay blessed!
I’ve been to East and South Africa ten times each time solo. I never once felt threaten, uneasy or frightened. Best times of my life have been in the Africa bush. ❤️🦁🐘🦒🦓🐆
When I visited South Africa, Kruger was definitely the highlights, but I must've spent at least half a day hanging out with the penguins at Boulder Beach! They're my favorite animal🥰
I'm am from Cape Town and feel very lucky to live in this City! The next time you're in South Africa, you should take a trip along the Garden Route, which will lead you into the Eastern Cape. The Eastern Cape is an extraordinarily beautiful province (be sure to stop at Wilderness, Storms River, Jeffreys Bay, Bloukrans Bridge, Amathole Mountain Region and Tsitsikamma). The Eastern Cape also has beautiful national reserves. I'd also recommend a trip to KZN to visit the Drakensberg!
Awesome advice!🌻 Born and bred in Long Street, Cape Town, but made Jeffreys Bay my home. Love to travel, but never want to leave - I love this country so much! Most of my family have left, but I still believe that this is the original garden of Eden, and I feel blessed to call it home.
Thank you to my fellow Saffer for remembering us here in the beautiful Eastern Cape, we have smaller game reserves that cater for every budget, from our amazing Kragga Kamma Game Park in Port Elizabeth to Addo Elephant Park to our internationally renowned Shamwari ( where the Hollywood stars go) and we have awesome beaches, restaurants ( seafood at our harbour restaurant is highly recommended) and so so much more…
Well done, Allison! I'm a Capetonian, so viewed this with a critical eye, and you did excellently in the short time you gave yourself to describe Cape Town! Cape Town IS the most spectacular combination of city and nature anywhere on Earth; well done. Your wildlife adventure was spot on too! Thank you for being realistic about the crime problems.
Glad you hired a driver for half a day instead of renting a car. What happens when/if you break down?.. The crime is shocking! Left there after 5 decades. Really happy to have been able to. Take care! God Bless you on your travels! Lovely brilliant video!
Well done on this amazing video. I am fortunate to live in this beautiful Cape Town. We have one of the most diversed countries. From Cape Town and the most amazing coastlines to our beautiful winelands right up to our National parks with amazing wild life.
I'm a full time solo traveler, and South Africa has never been high on my list of places to visit. However, I've found myself in East Africa for 4 months and ended up with a house sitting opportunity on the coast in Cape Town for 6 weeks, so I'm unexpectedly heading there soon. This video just made me SO excited! Thanks for sharing!
I really enjoyed seeing my country through different eyes 🥰 your cinematographic skills are absolutely wonderful. Thank you for this wonderful video. Much love, a proud South African
I love your videos so much! I'd been planning to go solo travelling (not for the first time, but for the first time in a long time) at the start of this year but things got in the way and life is difficult right now and I am living vicariously through your videos instead. Thank you!
I always look forward to your travel videos, I find them so inspiring. I learn about places I wouldn't have necessarily thought to travel to (helloooo Oman) and am constantly in awe of the beauty of the world. And as another female solo traveller I love how you work to normalize this concept. Thanks so much for sharing!
Lion’s head and Devils Peak are must do hikes in Cape Town. I hope you go back again and see more. Also the drive from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth is incredible! South Africa is just an amazing place!
This has been so beautiful! Sharing my experience too in case is useful to others. I did the same trip back in 2016, Namibia and South Africa. From both countries I have to say I did like Namibia a lot more. Animals and nature are equality stunning in both countries, but I had a radically different experience with safari guides. In Namibia, we were received by guides from the local tribes and the message we got from them at all times was that as visitors we had to respect their land and appreciante cherish what nature would show us. They shared so many stories about their life in the country and got to know so much about the history and rich culture of Namibia. In South Africa, it was the opposite. All the guides we had were disrepectful to the animals. They would purposefully drive way too close to them, bang the doors and even one guy drove the vehicle towards two resting lions and almost hit them. They did all they could to stress out the animals, to get them to stand and get defensive. They kepts saying 'the tourists want the pictures', and we got the message that, if you pay, you could just go and do whatever you want. That was not the experience I was looking for, I would go to a zoo if I wouldn't care about the animals wellbeing. When you choose to travel to the other side of the world to see an elefant where the elefant belongs, it is really disappointing to see tour guides bothering them this way.
Please report the Tour, safari company u went with & had this unacceptable experience, both to the companies management and to the South African Tourism Board.
Loved your video! I am South African, and when visiting Cape Town a week doesn’t feel enough. I can just imagine how quick it had to feel for you! Thanx for the positive content! 🫶🏼
One of your best videos yet! I felt like I was there on Safari and experiencing South Africa with you. And thank you for shining a light on how great solo female travel is... it gets tiresome when people always question my life choices to travel the world solo.
It has been my dream to go to Capetown for years and I was always scared as a solo female… Thank you for doing this and showing me what is possible and this beautiful part of the world ❤
Great video about my country. In your next visit add the wine farms and Robben island, but also the Eastern Cape,they also have national parks and beautiful beaches in the Wild Coast!
I have lived in South Africa all my life and have been to Kruger National Park numerous times, but I have NEVER heard of a Leopard dropping an antelope next to someone out of a tree and splattering blood over them 🤣 Consider it Africa's special gift to you. I am glad you had a good time in our beautiful country.
Hey Allison, thank you for putting a positive spin on my country especially Cape Town, that's where I live and its simply the best city in South Africa. There is still plenty to see here so I hope you come back again. Your photography is really the best I have seen in a long while, the close up detail is amazing and its been great to see how you have captured all of the animals.
I live in ZA and I've traversed this country to all corners, you've not even scratched the surface of what you can find here. Yes, traveling alone is a bit daunting, but I can promise you 99% of us locals love meeting new people and showing off this amazing country of ours, even with loadshedding nothing stops us from lighting a braai and knowing how to have a blast of a time! xD
I stay in Cape Town and as a local I suggest staying in groups and not out past night time on hiking trails etc otherwise it’s petty crime like pick pocketing especially your cellphone you have to watch out for ❤ but I love my city and can highly recommend the wine route as well which is the franchoek area which is phenomenal 🦋 brass bell in kalk bay is so cool or cape to Cuba xx the cbd for night life, boulders beach with the penguins and Clifton beaches for a day in the sun. Cafe caprice in camps bay is amazing restaurant in the day and a lovely party space to dance with awesome djs in the night. Beautiful little coffee shops along seapoint main road and if you can get down the west coast to langebaan is such a treat 🌸 stellenbosch is also stunning along with fish and chips in Hout Bay. Omg can you tell I love my city? 😊
You did such a great job with this video! I love everything you showed us, how you talked about it, the *incredible* wildlife videography, and the topics to be mindful of at the end. I can't wait until I get to visit that gorgeous country. Well done, Allison!
Allison, every single shot you took is eye candy ❤️ The leopards, oh my God. So beautiful. I'm curious, aren't the drivers afraid of running over a lion or something? You were so close to them! I know you mentioned safety concerns. Did you feel safe the whole time you were in Cape Town? Numbers definitely don't mean safety but I really admire you for going alone!
hey, as a south african, I can say that Cape Town is one of the safest places when it comes to cities. I am from a city close to Sabi Sands called Nelspruit and I travel to that places a lot for work, everything you see there is the cream of the crop, but if you really want to see South Africa, ask the local people who stays here, not everyone here are out to steal and kill, we are caring and friendly people who loves our country and want just the best for it and it's people. As a filmmaker I must say also, the quality of this video is tops. I am working on a big story based series tackling stuff like poaching and stuff like that, but also show how beautiful this country is and that there is still hope for this country despite corruption, power cuts, killings, we are here to welcome you in our country and we love it when we see videos people make of our country and posting that. Just one last thing, please make more time to see the other parts of our country, there is so much more to see and experience than just the big 5 and table mountain. Thank you
@@filmwithhannes hi 👋🏻 thanks for your insight. It's always interesting to hear from a local! Of course we're not saying everyone is out to steal and kill but Cape Town does have a bad rep internationally. As someone who's never been there, it's definitely a bit daunting to think about visiting a city that's known to be 'dangerous'. But hey, we live in London and have witnessed what, 7 arrests in less than 5 years (from our window) and in our street alone there has been a handful of stabbings in just a few months so what the hell do we know 😅 I guess the media only highlights the bad bits about a place sometimes. Cape Town does look absolutely stunning and we'd love to visit one day! I still admire Allison for going alone (as I always do, regardless of where she goes) :)
@@travelmurmur thank you for that info, I would love to visit London one day and make a movie there or move there. I am a qualified film and TV productions person with 15 years experience, so if you know of something, please let me know, thank you
@@travelmurmur the thing with cape town is that it has super dangerous areas that make the entire city look bad. The Touristy part of the city is mostly super safe, just don't leave valuebles in the open, don't be an idiot and you'd be fine.
Londolozi is approximately 20 minutes away from my childhood home. South Africa is a fantastic place with its ups and downs, but it remains a wonderful destination. The farther you venture from the bustling cities, the more relaxed and tranquil the atmosphere becomes
Hello mam how are you 💗 Love from India. Actually u deserve million million subscribers ...u are my inspiration ....when I cleared my neet exam then i will do this .....
My fiancé and I are really contemplating going to South Africa for our honeymoon, but we are a little concerned in terms of safety after some research. can anyone share their own experience and how safe you felt while you were there? we will take all precautions necessary of course, but I don't want us to feel anxious the whole trip about safety because that's not what a honeymoon or trip should be. any advice from personal experiences or advice would be appreciated :) thank you
South Africa is a place like any place in the world, you don't have to panic, crime is allover the world, you need to come and enjoy yourself😀🙋♂👋👋 th-cam.com/video/aR1RPWrC1do/w-d-xo.html
GREAT VIDEO! THANK YOU FOR CONSISTENTLY PUTTING OUT TOP QUALITY CONTENT. VERY INTERESTED! KEEP IT UP! ❤️👍 What is life without money? I think that's irrelevant. When you live, always try to invest for future times like this to ensure profits and growth. So you are not dependent on the government. Investing in the financial market should now be on every savvy individual's bucket list.

Host a garage sale, sell household items you no longer need, or if you can, try investing in real estate. I have a relative who invested in real estate and it worked well for her.

Well done, Allison! I'm a Capetonian, so viewed this with a critical eye, and you did excellently in the short time you gave yourself to describe Cape Town! Cape Town IS the most spectacular combination of city and nature anywhere on Earth; well done. Your wildlife adventure was spot on too! Thank you for being realistic about the crime problems.
Glad you hired a driver for half a day instead of renting a car.
What happens when/if you break down?..
The crime is shocking!
Left there after 5 decades.
Really happy to have been able to.
Take care!
God Bless you on your travels!
Lovely brilliant video!
You capture the beauty of life so elegantly! Thank you!!! ❤️
Now I'm in love with South Africa ❤
Well done on this amazing video. I am fortunate to live in this beautiful Cape Town. We have one of the most diversed countries. From Cape Town and the most amazing coastlines to our beautiful winelands right up to our National parks with amazing wild life.
just went to south africa and this sums up my whole trip. great visuals and well explained!
I'm a full time solo traveler, and South Africa has never been high on my list of places to visit. However, I've found myself in East Africa for 4 months and ended up with a house sitting opportunity on the coast in Cape Town for 6 weeks, so I'm unexpectedly heading there soon. This video just made me SO excited! Thanks for sharing!
How does one get an opportunity like that?
East Africa your prior choices you welcome Ethiopia. The land of origin❤❤😢😮
@@triphabesha I will definitely visit Ethiopia when I get the chance ❤️
I really enjoyed seeing my country through different eyes 🥰 your cinematographic skills are absolutely wonderful. Thank you for this wonderful video. Much love, a proud South African
I love your videos so much! I'd been planning to go solo travelling (not for the first time, but for the first time in a long time) at the start of this year but things got in the way and life is difficult right now and I am living vicariously through your videos instead. Thank you!
Solo traveller is sweet planner❤❤😮
It’s a very special country with very special people - incredible diversity, a LOT to see, MUCH to do and EVEN MORE to savour! My favourite place…
I always look forward to your travel videos, I find them so inspiring. I learn about places I wouldn't have necessarily thought to travel to (helloooo Oman) and am constantly in awe of the beauty of the world. And as another female solo traveller I love how you work to normalize this concept. Thanks so much for sharing!
Lion’s head and Devils Peak are must do hikes in Cape Town. I hope you go back again and see more. Also the drive from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth is incredible! South Africa is just an amazing place!
Your videography skills are on point! Thanks for inspiring me to want to go to South Africa :)
the filming is absolutely phenomental, thank you so much for editing this beautiful journey for us to live vicariously through you!
Stunning ❤😂🙏 South Africa 🇿🇦
South Africa is just breath taking. It's so beautiful ❤🇿🇦
This has been so beautiful! Sharing my experience too in case is useful to others. I did the same trip back in 2016, Namibia and South Africa. From both countries I have to say I did like Namibia a lot more. Animals and nature are equality stunning in both countries, but I had a radically different experience with safari guides. In Namibia, we were received by guides from the local tribes and the message we got from them at all times was that as visitors we had to respect their land and appreciante cherish what nature would show us. They shared so many stories about their life in the country and got to know so much about the history and rich culture of Namibia. In South Africa, it was the opposite. All the guides we had were disrepectful to the animals. They would purposefully drive way too close to them, bang the doors and even one guy drove the vehicle towards two resting lions and almost hit them. They did all they could to stress out the animals, to get them to stand and get defensive. They kepts saying 'the tourists want the pictures', and we got the message that, if you pay, you could just go and do whatever you want. That was not the experience I was looking for, I would go to a zoo if I wouldn't care about the animals wellbeing. When you choose to travel to the other side of the world to see an elefant where the elefant belongs, it is really disappointing to see tour guides bothering them this way.
Please report the Tour, safari company u went with & had this unacceptable experience, both to the companies management and to the South African Tourism Board.
I love this amazing video. You certainly chose the absolute best locations, and I must say the intro to this video is breathtaking.
Takes some courage to not lose it sorrounded by lions at night! 👏🏼
Africa is beautiful and thanks for capturing it's beautiful moments.
Haven’t watched your channel in a few years. Been following since you were in the beauty space. Happy to be back!
I would love a video on how you plan for these trips. Like a step by step. Whether the trip is sponsored or not.
Loved your video! I am South African, and when visiting Cape Town a week doesn’t feel enough. I can just imagine how quick it had to feel for you! Thanx for the positive content! 🫶🏼
One of your best videos yet! I felt like I was there on Safari and experiencing South Africa with you. And thank you for shining a light on how great solo female travel is... it gets tiresome when people always question my life choices to travel the world solo.
Love this vlog! I am from Cape Town and also think it is truly one of the most beautiful cities :)
Mustafa
Cape Town has been on my list forever. I think I may have to plan a Namibia/South Africa trip. Your video was beautiful.
It has been my dream to go to Capetown for years and I was always scared as a solo female… Thank you for doing this and showing me what is possible and this beautiful part of the world ❤
Bring some friends with you on your first trip! That way you can get more comfortable with traveling and the country in general
Great video about my country. In your next visit add the wine farms and Robben island, but also the Eastern Cape,they also have national parks and beautiful beaches in the Wild Coast!
I'm from Cape Town and I love how you captured our beautiful city! Xxx
I have lived in South Africa all my life and have been to Kruger National Park numerous times, but I have NEVER heard of a Leopard dropping an antelope next to someone out of a tree and splattering blood over them 🤣 Consider it Africa's special gift to you. I am glad you had a good time in our beautiful country.
She must have thought it OK to sleep with her windows open. 🤯
I relly like the way you introduce every trip you have, keep it up!
Hey Allison, thank you for putting a positive spin on my country especially Cape Town, that's where I live and its simply the best city in South Africa. There is still plenty to see here so I hope you come back again. Your photography is really the best I have seen in a long while, the close up detail is amazing and its been great to see how you have captured all of the animals.
Agreed
Your video quality and editing is just another level. Good good good job.
South Africa beautiful country beautiful people 🇿🇦👍
Glad you made it !! Welcome enjoy , good work 👋👍🤠
HOME TOWN! C.T.👍🇿🇦🇬🇧🇿🇦🇬🇧
I love your videos and you too ,I've been waiting for a south african tour,thanks and I also love your background music
You and suitcase Monkey are like my favorite travel content creators now.
I really enjoyed watching this video! You've done an awesome job! Thank you!
I live in ZA and I've traversed this country to all corners, you've not even scratched the surface of what you can find here. Yes, traveling alone is a bit daunting, but I can promise you 99% of us locals love meeting new people and showing off this amazing country of ours, even with loadshedding nothing stops us from lighting a braai and knowing how to have a blast of a time! xD
This video means a lot to me because this is where my family is from. Thank you for sharing its beauty.
I stay in Cape Town and as a local I suggest staying in groups and not out past night time on hiking trails etc otherwise it’s petty crime like pick pocketing especially your cellphone you have to watch out for ❤ but I love my city and can highly recommend the wine route as well which is the franchoek area which is phenomenal 🦋 brass bell in kalk bay is so cool or cape to Cuba xx the cbd for night life, boulders beach with the penguins and Clifton beaches for a day in the sun. Cafe caprice in camps bay is amazing restaurant in the day and a lovely party space to dance with awesome djs in the night. Beautiful little coffee shops along seapoint main road and if you can get down the west coast to langebaan is such a treat 🌸 stellenbosch is also stunning along with fish and chips in Hout Bay. Omg can you tell I love my city? 😊
You did such a great job with this video! I love everything you showed us, how you talked about it, the *incredible* wildlife videography, and the topics to be mindful of at the end. I can't wait until I get to visit that gorgeous country. Well done, Allison!
Allison, every single shot you took is eye candy ❤️
The leopards, oh my God. So beautiful.
I'm curious, aren't the drivers afraid of running over a lion or something? You were so close to them!
I know you mentioned safety concerns. Did you feel safe the whole time you were in Cape Town? Numbers definitely don't mean safety but I really admire you for going alone!
hey, as a south african, I can say that Cape Town is one of the safest places when it comes to cities. I am from a city close to Sabi Sands called Nelspruit and I travel to that places a lot for work, everything you see there is the cream of the crop, but if you really want to see South Africa, ask the local people who stays here, not everyone here are out to steal and kill, we are caring and friendly people who loves our country and want just the best for it and it's people. As a filmmaker I must say also, the quality of this video is tops. I am working on a big story based series tackling stuff like poaching and stuff like that, but also show how beautiful this country is and that there is still hope for this country despite corruption, power cuts, killings, we are here to welcome you in our country and we love it when we see videos people make of our country and posting that. Just one last thing, please make more time to see the other parts of our country, there is so much more to see and experience than just the big 5 and table mountain. Thank you
@@filmwithhannes hi 👋🏻 thanks for your insight. It's always interesting to hear from a local! Of course we're not saying everyone is out to steal and kill but Cape Town does have a bad rep internationally. As someone who's never been there, it's definitely a bit daunting to think about visiting a city that's known to be 'dangerous'. But hey, we live in London and have witnessed what, 7 arrests in less than 5 years (from our window) and in our street alone there has been a handful of stabbings in just a few months so what the hell do we know 😅
I guess the media only highlights the bad bits about a place sometimes. Cape Town does look absolutely stunning and we'd love to visit one day!
I still admire Allison for going alone (as I always do, regardless of where she goes) :)
@@travelmurmur thank you for that info, I would love to visit London one day and make a movie there or move there. I am a qualified film and TV productions person with 15 years experience, so if you know of something, please let me know, thank you
@@travelmurmur hey, just subbed you. Will start to watch your videos now from the beginning.
@@travelmurmur the thing with cape town is that it has super dangerous areas that make the entire city look bad.
The Touristy part of the city is mostly super safe, just don't leave valuebles in the open, don't be an idiot and you'd be fine.
Londolozi is approximately 20 minutes away from my childhood home. South Africa is a fantastic place with its ups and downs, but it remains a wonderful destination. The farther you venture from the bustling cities, the more relaxed and tranquil the atmosphere becomes
Hello mam how are you 💗 Love from India. Actually u deserve million million subscribers ...u are my inspiration ....when I cleared my neet exam then i will do this .....
What a beautiful vlog, thank you for show casing our country through your lenses.
My fiancé and I are really contemplating going to South Africa for our honeymoon, but we are a little concerned in terms of safety after some research. can anyone share their own experience and how safe you felt while you were there? we will take all precautions necessary of course, but I don't want us to feel anxious the whole trip about safety because that's not what a honeymoon or trip should be. any advice from personal experiences or advice would be appreciated :) thank you
South Africa is a place like any place in the world, you don't have to panic, crime is allover the world, you need to come and enjoy yourself😀🙋♂👋👋

So glad you enjoyed your trip…I am born here..and still in South Africa..
Beautiful hidden germs all around South Africa
GREAT VIDEO! THANK YOU FOR CONSISTENTLY PUTTING OUT TOP QUALITY CONTENT. VERY INTERESTED! KEEP IT UP! ❤️👍
What is life without money? I think that's irrelevant. When you live, always try to invest for future times like this to ensure profits and growth. So you are not dependent on the government. Investing in the financial market should now be on every savvy individual's bucket list.
Investing is the key to maintaining your financial longevity. And not just an investment, but an investment with guaranteed returns.

Please can anyone help me out with some great passive income ideas? We can all relate to the rising cost of living and how it becomes quite difficult. I need substantial resources to double my income. I see people also talking about profiting from various investments. Anyone who can help me with useful information should respond.
Host a garage sale, sell household items you no longer need, or if you can, try investing in real estate. I have a relative who invested in real estate and it worked well for her.
@user-zv9to2vs2w You mean Evangeline Bruhn, the professional trader. By chance, are you talking about the same person?
@user-zv9to2vs2w No, I haven't yet, but a friend of mine who swears by her expertise recently referred me to her. How did you start investing with Bruhn?
@Emily That much!? I have been skeptical about investments, you know most of the time it can be difficult to find the right investments to invest your money in. But this looks interesting👍
So amazing, I recently moved to the Netherlands from South Africa, this video just made me miss South Africa so much!
*Making money an action. Keeping money is a behavior, but "Growing money with an investment is wisdom" I figured this out a week ago.*
This video, as all your videos, was so visually stunning. The safari adventure was one for the books!
