Creator's Key Takeaways

Durban, I mean, if I'm just going to spell it out, I'll say by and large was a massive fail for me.

I would highly recommend Omslanga.

Overall, generally speaking, the food is cheap as chips here. The drinks are cheap as chips here.

I've been using the Wise card. I told you guys about this before.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Stay in Omslanga instead of Durban for a better experience.
✓Fly to Joberg for safari and visit Sun City/Pinsburg park.
✓Bring good shampoo and conditioner as higher-end hair products may not be available.
✓Ask specifically about open-concept bathrooms if you prefer closed doors.

Safety and driving in South Africa — Be cautious when driving on the opposite side of the road; consider guided tours.
Currency conversion and costs — Use phone apps for easy conversion; food and drinks are affordable.
