Sanibonani, Molowani, Sowbona, Hello! 😆
Here is my local scoop on all things South African. From daily itinerary & accommodation links this guide is your go to South African travel buddy! So, buckle up, pop your sunnies on & get ready to be captivated by this historical hotspot!
Welcome to South Africa: a quirky melting pot of cultures & heritages! Originally home to the Khoisan people, this vibrant land has always been a magnet for travelers from all corners of the globe. On the east coast, you'll find the legendary Zulu nation, now a major cultural influence in south eastern Africa. Meanwhile, to the west, Dutch settlers landed in Cape Town & soon journeyed east in search of gold & evolved into the Afrikaans nation. Fast forward a few hundred years, & here we are in modern South Africa—a colorful tapestry of cultures with 12 official languages. It's a buzzing hub where artists, designers, & musicians let their creativity soar. And, if your soul craves a bit of the great outdoors, South Africa has got you covered! Whether you're seeking the breathtaking Drakensberg mountains, the sprawling grassy plains of African safaris, or the crystal-clear ocean waters teeming with world-class marine life, South Africa has it all. So grab your sense of adventure & dive into the wonders of this remarkable country 🇿🇦

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Morgan Nott
Hey there, fellow travelers! 🌍 I'm Morgan Nott, your go-to gal for African adventure. Originally from the vibrant land of South Africa, I've had the pleasure of leading groups with Intro Travel through the breathtaking landscapes of my home country, sharing its hidden gems & cultural treasures with curious souls like yourself.
My journey doesn't stop there. I've lived east & west coasts of America & soaked in the serene beauty of Sri Lanka. Yet, it's Africa that has truly captured my heart. I've called the crystal clear coastline of Mozambique & Tanzania home, & I've wandered my way through other African countries like Lesotho, Eswatini, &
Mauritius.
My latest dream? To chase uncrowded waves along the African coastline with my friends & trusted 7’2 surfboard. From the rich culture of Senegal to the vibrant shores of Ghana, I'm on a quest to discover the best surf spots & secret beaches that our incredible continent has to offer.
On Thatch, you'll find my meticulously crafted itineraries that combine local insights, adventure, & a touch of magic. Whether you're seeking a serene escape, an adrenaline rush, or a cultural deep dive, I've got you covered. Join me on this exhilarating ride as we explore Africa's wonders together.
