Should you plan to do a lot of travelling while in South Africa, a leisure campervan for rent is an excellent option. When hiring a campervan enquire about getting a GPS system as well. There are comprehensive maps of South Africa, that have been exhaustively researched and plotted, but when you are out in the bush when there are no road makers, a GPS is a traveller’s friend. The feeling of the great outdoors and wide open spaces can be found all over the country. South Africa has many such places that are surprisingly near to established towns. Such locations are far enough into the bush, to give the visitor a modern day “David Livingstone” adventure.
For many a European visitor, a short drive into the African veldt or mountainous areas, is enough to get their collective pulses racing. As locals, we tend to take for granted the wild open places and uninhabited savannahs. For the large part, Europeans tend to think that such areas must surely be inhabited by fierce and wild animals. While we may find this way of thinking bemusing, the open eye joy of foreigners, marvelling at our sunsets or beautiful vistas makes us appreciate our country even more.
