South Africa, a country ravaged by the HIV/AIDS crisis where nearly 29.5% of their 47 million population are infected, and 27% of the population are unemployed and impoverished. It's only 15 odd years since apartheid was abolished and a massive divide still exists between white and black South Africans.
From Capetown in the west, to Kruger National Park in the east, with the wine country, the garden route, Lesotho, Zulu Land and nearly 2500 kilometres in between.
Sounds to me like the perfect introduction to Africa. Our around the world trip has finally begun.
