It’s a big country so be selective and be aware of the security situation per city (always ask the hotel or locals). #travelskills https://t.co/VqiMvc1NCn

What sites and attractions are on my South Africa bucket list? I didn't get to the coast between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. Looks awesome, so that would be great. Also didn't have time for Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for so long. A6 #TravelSkills

replying to @Heather_Poole A2. This is when I remind you to pack snacks because even short flights can turn into long ones. Yes I have crawled into a meal cart in search a single nut after a 6 hour delay turned our 6 hour flight into a nightmare flight. Delays / mechanicals, diversions happen #TravelSkills

A5 First-time travelers to #SouthAfrica should know that the US #dollar remains strong against the rand! The exchange rate peaked in early 2016 but you're still getting close to 15 South African rand to the dollar, making everyday expenses easier to budget! #TravelSkills
