Africa is not as inaccessible as you might think. Nor is it as difficult to travel through as it once was.
What’s also great about keeping your travels to this continent is that many countries don’t require a visa for South Africans or only require a visa on arrival.
With so much to do, see, and explore, an African country or two might be the perfect holiday for you.
