We were told NOT to visit South Africa

Before coming to South Africa, almost everyone we spoke to had the same reaction… “Why would you go there?” We kept hearing that it’s dangerous, not safe, and not worth the risk. But instead of avoiding it, we wanted to see it for ourselves. In this video, we spend a few days exploring Cape Town and the surrounding areas. And honestly… It’s not what we expected. Sometimes, the best way to understand a place is to experience it yourself.
