South Africa: an eSIM for your route
South Africa is a high-impact trip for Cape Town, Table Mountain, Winelands, Garden Route, Kruger, private reserves, Johannesburg, Durban, Drakensberg, beaches, wildlife, food, wine, road trips, history, and social travel. It offers huge variety but requires serious safety, transport, and regional-season planning.
South Africa may combine cities, coast, nature areas, and a long self-drive section, so navigation and accommodation changes can shape the plan.
