South Africa Is a Great Place for English and German Speaking Tourists

Just got back few days ago from a trip to South Africa and a 2-day trip to Zambia and Zimbabwe to see Victoria Falls. We came across many English-speaking tourists from America, Australia and the UK and Afrikaans-Dutch-German speaking tourists (these languages sound similar to me). Prices are comparable to the US, food was good, and hospitality excellent. I would rate the service as as good or better than in America, Germany and the UK. We visited what I later learned were the most popular places in South Africa for the tourists—safaris in select private lodges, Cape Town, the Garden Route and the wine region near Cape Town. The roads are very good. Crime rates are high, so vigilance is required. Some people like it so much that they visit once or more times every year.

Over the next week or two I would share some of my observations and some photos that I took.
