South Africa Travel Review: Cape Town, Table Mountain, Stellenbosch, Johannesburg, Safari, Wildlife, Soweto, Winery Visits

We did so many different things on our trip and I have many favorites. I enjoyed our time soaking in the atmosphere in Cape Town, the Cape tour, Table Mountain and wondering the V&A Waterfront. After that, we went to Stellenbosch, and I'm sooo happy that we have 2 nights there. The town is lovely and I could have spent a few more days there. We had a really nice time enjoying a variety of different wineries and overall the relaxed atmosphere of the town was fabulous. The safari was AMAZING. We had such an amazing lodge and were able to see all the big 5 animals. We saw leopard, lion, lion cubs, rhino, hippo, etc. It was so fantastic and meditative to drive around in the open-air vehicle as the sun comes up, looking for wild animals. I could do it for days on end. Not only were the game drives fantastic, but the food and overall accommodations were great. They took very good care of us!  We finished out our journey in Johannesburg to see extended family and we had an education and emotional tour of Soweto while there. It was really informative to learn first-hand some history of Soweto and Apartheid. This vacation was an A++.
