My home country of South Africa is always a treat to return to. South Africa is blessed with glorious weather, our winters are mild and forgiving in relation to anything experienced in Europe and most parts of Asia so it’s welcoming all year round. The first three pictures are Cape Town - home to the majestic Table Mountain and one of the best afternoon drives you’ll ever have - along the curvaceous route of Camps Bay, peaking in Signal Hill and then trickling down to central Cape Town where you’ll find the V&A Waterfront, a hub of touristy restaurants and that Instagram-worthy cable wheel. Durban is often called the Playground of South Africa for its laid back atmosphere and stretched coastlines. Expect light and refreshing menus to offset the warm weather or poolside brunch at Umhlanga’s Oyster Box. For a more local experience, take a guided tour around Umlazi, Durban’s largest township, and the South Beach promenade for Zulu beadwork to take home. #happynewyear
