About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

We took luxury travel company Tauck's tour called "South Africa: An Elegant Adventure." and traveled from Cape Town to Johannesburg and show you all the great things to do in Johannesburg. Then we travel to the wondrous Victoria Falls. During guided tours, we saw the homes of Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and visited the Apartheid Museum. We also visited the spot where Hector Pieterson was killed at the age of twelve during the Soweto uprising and were honored to meet his sister. If youโ€™re reading this we bet you love to travel.

Livingstone undertook three major expeditions into Africa, travelling 29,000 miles, a greater distance than the circumference of the earth. Achieving this is impressive, but doing so in the 19th century when almost nothing was known about the interior of Africa, is astonishing.
