Africa lit something up in us we didn’t expect. From the Atlantic surf of Morocco to the savannas of Tanzania, the spice gardens of Zanzibar and the long flat horizons that seem to go on forever — every trip here has been bigger than we thought it would be. These are our stories, route notes and honest costs from a continent we keep promising to return to.
South Africa is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, and Franschhoek might be its most beautiful town. The name means “French Corner.” French Huguenot settlers planted vineyards here in the 1600s and the valley they left behind…
