Beautiful m ountains that go in Lesotho. Absolutely a must for people who love to hike. The trails are hard, long and not well marked. But worth the effort. Highly recommended.

After traveling through a few parks in Africa we finally saw the big five. Beautiful p ark and very well organized and maintained. A little touristy, but worth going to.

Must seeWildlife

Johannesburg

2/10

Not to give a negative picture, but not the most beautiful city in the world. We basically just drove through on our way to pick up our Indian visas. One can go on tours to the Soweto Townships. It is supposedly not the safest place on earth .
