replying to @cgurmann @cgurmann lol, sadly not possible unless you have a couple months to spare. Which you might! It's also tempting to add in Victoria Falls, Bots, Namibia, Zim, etc. #travelskills

A4 Cape Town, the metropolis at the foot of the grandiose Table Mountain is one of the sexiest towns on earth. The cultural mix and laid-back lifestyle make the town a hot spot for literally everybody who loves travelling. #travelskills #SouthAfrica

replying to @nataliediscala @nataliediscala @cjmcginnis @JimByersTravel @JohnnyJet That's a great idea! We'll be in Toronto for Christmas and then Costa Rica for New Years. I can handle that #TravelSkills

replying to @nataliediscala @nataliediscala @cjmcginnis @JohnnyJet That sounds like a great plan, Natalie. Hope the snow sticks around until Christmas. It can melt after that and I won't be unhappy! #travelskills

replying to @united @united A5 Book your tours in advance since you don’t want to travel all that way and be told that the one you want is sold out. #TravelSkills

A5: Use a travel agent to help you plan; it will make life so much easier. Fly into Johannesburg, take a night or two at a nice resort to recover, then dive deep into safaris. Finish with time in Cape Town and the gorgeous wine country around Franschhoek. #TravelSkills

replying to @united @united A5 Consider taking a helicopter tour of the Cape Town region if you can. It’s not too expensive and so worth the views! Esp at Africa’s southernmost points. #TravelSkills

A5 The wildlife, safaris and adventures are amazing, but be sure to also go to Stellenbosch for relaxation and wine tasting. #travelskills

A5: You can’t do it all so don’t try. Instead focus on a couple of different regions or experiences and enjoy them as much as possible #travelskills

A5 Save some extra room in your suitcase for souvenirs! South Africa is full of exquisite wine regions, craft markets and galleries. #TravelSkills

A5: Travel insurance is a good idea, especially if you're putting down a lot of money and/or you'll be on safari in more remote parts of the country. Here's a primer: https://t.co/tY3pDiyUCA #TravelSkills

replying to @Heather_Poole A2. On a red eye flight we had a medical emergency so we diverted to a tiny airport. Somehow we ended up perpendicular on the runway with a wheel stuck in the mud. Looking out the window & seeing you're stuck on a runway like that is a little strange and scary. #TravelSkills

A5 - Don't rush and try to do everything on one day. In Cape Town alone there is so much to do and explore, so spend at least 4-5 days. Tons of culture, history, nature and just taking in the local vibe. It's a very complex city #travelskills

@LandLopers A5: make sure your Passport has more than 2 empty pages (that are not the last two pages) and more than 6 months of remaining validity, otherwise YOU WILL BE DENIED BOARDING FOR YOUR FLIGHT TO South Africa. (Yes the caps are necessary, I’ve seen this happen too much

A5. Do the night drive in Kruger National Park and a morning walk. They're usually optional and spaces are limited. Make sure to add it to your adventure, that's a fantastic add-on. #TravelSkills #travetip
