Go on SAFARIS to chase animals across the savannah

A Memorable Business Trip to South Africa I've just returned from a whirlwind business trip to South Africa, visiting Johannesburg, Pretoria, and Cape Town. I thought I was used to long-haul flights, but the journey to South Africa was exhausting. With layovers and travel time, it took a total of 24 hours to land. I immediately dove into 24 hours of non-stop work, which left me feeling dazed and confused. After that, I embarked on a tour of Lesedi Cultural Village and Pilanesberg National Park. 🌟 Lesedi Cultural Village The village features eight huts that showcase the culture, history, clothing, and architectural styles of South Africa's four major ethnic groups. We were greeted by "villagers" with song and dance and even took a drumming lesson. We also tasted traditional South African tribal food, including ostrich meat, which wasn't particularly delicious. 🌟 Pilanesberg National Park This was my first-ever safari experience, and it was incredible. We spent about 2.5 hours in the park, chasing and observing a variety of wildlife up close, including elephants🐘, antelopes羚羊, giraffes🦒, zebras🦓, flamingos🦩, rhinoceroses🦏, hippos🦛, and deer🦌. The animals were scattered throughout the park, with some even right next to our vehicle. It was an exhilarating experience. 🌟 Johannesburg Safety We were accompanied by armed guards for our entire stay, sticking to safe areas. When we asked the guards, who were from Cape Town, about their thoughts on Johannesburg's black neighborhoods, they expressed significant concern and advised against visiting those areas. They said it's a place even locals avoid due to the potential dangers. 🌟 Tipping Culture Tipping is a common practice in South Africa. You're expected to tip for services like housekeeping, luggage handling, and group photos. It's customary to give around 100 Rand or $2. Keep some small change handy as you'll need it frequently. #EveryDayIsWorthDocumenting #LovingLifeInTheOrdinary #SouthAfricaTravel #JohannesburgTravel #WildlifeConservation
