You Would Not Believe These Places Are In Southern Africa [Images]

We only have one life, and it's my promise to myself to see as much of the world as possible. You should make it a priority on your bucket list, too.

A lot of South Africans suffer from wanderlust. No, wanderlust is not Jennifer Aniston running around a nudist colony. It is this:

I’ve travelled all over. It’s in my blood. I panic that I won’t see the whole wide world in my lifetime. But, weirdly, I haven’t travelled my own continent, and I can’t fathom why.

Look at those places. They’re all in Southern Africa, and all so easily accessible. That first one is in Sabi, the second Botswana. They’re followed by Namibia (which seems to have the greatest amount of awesome places) – hello, that is a lighthouse almost in the middle of the ocean. Phenomenal.

What’s great is these places are within travelling distance for a long weekend, so you can really start to #LiveTheWeekend. That’s what SafariNow is going to help you do. They have over 146 000 places to stay, so you really have no excuse not to get away.

Alternatively, you can spend the rest of your life seeing other continents, but for it to be as comfy as above you’ll be forking out for Emirates first class. Good luck with that.

Sure, that looks comfy, but you’re going to have jet lag and that’s no fun. And that’s why we should be exploring Africa.
