      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.

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.

    Cape Town was my first international trip and I went solo. I had the most amazing time! I hiked Lion’s Head and Table Mountain, went cage diving with Great Whites, and biked through Cape of Good Hope - It was incredible! Sadly I didn’t safari while there, but what an amazing story with the antelope and the leopard 😍

    • @safiakhan8498

      You are really lucky to have gone white shark diving. For the past few years all the great whites have disappeared to the point where there aren’t any trips being offered. The reason they’ve disappeared is the appearance on our shores of the orca - which kill great whites and remove their liver with surgical precision. This causes most of the great whites in the area to completely disappear from the shores. It’s sad but amazing to have the orcas. People who have experienced the white shark diving back then are very fortunate

    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 ❤️❤️

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!

    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!

    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.

      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 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? 😊
