A8 - don't overdress. Casual seems to be the way to go. Bring layers and active wear. #TravelSkills #CapeTown

@travelskills I went to South Africa via @smarTours back in'99 on a guided tour of all the highlights as well as an extension to Victoria Falls and it was an amazing trip.

Well I’m off to SA on Tuesday, so far my case contains old glasses, several bras, unworn clothes, spare shoes all to donate and clothes to wear for 4 seasons in one day. Chilly at night in the Highveld and rainy #travelskills add camera and I’m ready to go https://t.co/WBAL2m4AeC

replying to @LandLopers @LandLopers #TravelSkills - agree - I think layers have been essential for pretty much every trip I have planned! Even Costa Rica which is next up in two weeks

replying to @united @united A9 Photographs and memories. As corny as it sounds it’s true. I would also buy stuff from the local slums if I went on a tour. #TravelSkills

A9. Best souvenir from South Africa? Have heard good things about Cape Town Gin. And if it’s too difficult to bring home, we’d just have to drink it there. ;-) #TravelSkills #travel

A9. There are many beautiful locally-made souvenirs to bring home, from carvings, paintings, rugs and ornaments. Please be mindful when purchasing any wood or bone carvings or feathers, to not buy products from endangered species. #TravelSkills #thoughtfultravel
