South Africa is our family’s 23rd country after 3 years of constant travel and we’ve kicked off our Rainbow Nation tour here in Johannesburg… also known as Jo-burg… or Jozi. With so much diverse culture and rich history to discover, we’re hiring a local guide and a private driver for the day so that we can explore the city efficiently before heading into the remote bush for back-to-back safaris.

After 3 years exploring the Americas, Europe and Asia, we just arrived in Africa for the first time. And even though we’re spending our entire 18-day trip in the country of South Africa, we really wanna get a taste of the cultures that span the continent. So to kick things off, we’re leaving Melrose Arch—one of the nicest neighborhoods in Johannesburg—and heading to Yeoville—one of the poorest. It may be notorious for its high levels of crime and poverty, but it also boasts a diverse pan-African culture that’ll provide an eclectic backdrop to our first real experience in the city.
