Why we want to go back to South Africa

This family's experience:

Activities: We took the Lake Road which passes through the lake area of Wilderness. Wild protea bushes lined the road. The old Outeniqua-Choo-Tjoe-Train railway line crossed our path

Highlights: We liked the landscape. It was a nice alternative route to the main road ✨
