I've always been fascinated by Africa so I'm finally realizing a dream. I will visit as many historical sites as I can while in Cape Town, including where the late President Nelson Mandela was imprisoned and shark cage dive there. My trip to Durban is mainly to visit Zulu related sites; the major British-Zulu battlefield sites, a recreated Zulu village and seeing current and recreated Zulu life and visiting one of the best museums containing Zulu art. Two safaris; one at a private reserve next to Krueger National Park and the one mentioned in Botswana. Lastly, I don't think a south African vacation would be complete without a visit to Victoria Falls!

Niceee

Enjoy your trip!
