Visiting the different places that I have read about and been interested in over the years was wonderful. It was great to be able to see Cape Town, Kruger National Park, the Kimberly diamond mines, the Okavango Delta and Victoria Falls come to life. South Africa in particular has some incredible scenery and taking a road trip down the coast during the mid-semester break was a great experience.
