🇿🇦 Our Very First Trip to South Africa!!! 🇿🇦

[@user-louis.m.maloma]

Wish you both a happy retirement in South Africa 🎉

[@eyeforafrika]

Thank you so much! We can hardly wait to get back. Retirement can’t come soon enough! 🎉

Welcome Home 🥰 I just love this Lady, when she smiles her eyes are smiling too. You are very Loveable. I would call you "Thandeka" meaning Loveable.. Enjoy SA and don't forget to visit the biggest Safari in South Africa the Kruger National Park.. We Love you Guyzz😍💜❤️

[@eyeforafrika]

You are so incredibly sweet! Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your kind words. This time we visited Pilanesburg, but we’re definitely planning a trip to Kruger next time. 😊 You know, I’ve been looking for an African name to match my African DNA and Thandeka just might be it! 😉 I appreciate you. Thank you so much for watching.

[@magwinyamangola5473]

@@eyeforafrika Oh Thandeka, your Welcome 🥰🤩

[@annahkhobotle3620]

Afrika is suprised that you want to call Johannesburg home. It never stopped being your home. It knows you more than you know yourselves. It never stopped holding a daily vigil awaiting you and yours return to the only place on this earth, where your feet are naturally plugged into the land that soothes your soul.

[@eyeforafrika]

You have absolutely no idea how much your kind words mean to me. I have always felt this, but to have my family…natives of my homeland…echo these sentiments really means the world. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. People like you make being vulnerable so much easier. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We truly appreciate your support. 💛💛💛

Welcome to Africa! Sorry about the load-shedding ... next time (on your next visit) remember to use accommodation that is load-shedding proof (lots of options). I subscribed to follow your next 2 weeks (here from Cape Town). Early Happy Birthday Veronica 💐💐

[@eyeforafrika]

Thank you so much! We appreciate you and are so happy that you've subscribed. We heard so many great things about Cape Town. We definitely plan to go there on our next visit. Also, the load shedding wasn't too bad. The only thing that got turned off in our hotel room was the air conditioner, but we were able to open windows to keep cool. In my opinion, that's a small inconvenience in an amazingly beautiful country. Although we do hope there will be a permanent fix sometime down the road.

[@DeeesLife]

Ahhhh!!! So excited for yall, Eric and Veronica! It was suchhhh a pleasure meeting you and I'm excited to see yall again! 🙂

Heyyy, Sis! Thank you so much! The pleasure was truly mine. Eric and I literally cannot wait to get back to SA. You and your hubby will be amongst the first that we call when we do! BTW, I love your channel! 💛

Hey guys, great video! Some tips for future: Voices are a bit low in the video. Zoom out a bit and do slower camera movements, especially when showing the room. But maybe it's because of the portrait mode shot. But anyways, love you guys!!

[@eyeforafrika]

You’re awesome, thank you so much for your feedback. Everything you mentioned is spot on. Mistake #1 is we filmed almost this entire video on our cell phones in the vertical position. 🤦🏾‍♀️ So I had to readjust alllllll the frames so that they wouldn’t have that black space on either side. Lesson learned for sure! ☑️ Thanks so much for watching! 💛 We appreciate your feedback.

I think that Capetown is the most beautiful city in the world,the beach on the Eastside and the mountains on the west is amazing, the city is super clean,and the city comes alive at night.Johannesburg is move like being in New York a concrete jungle.😂😂

Reminder you came to Africa not USA or Europe...so if they lights are off its should not be a priority that you dont like..did you come for the lights or for to see the Motherland. Most Americans coming here have the same issue LOADSHEDDING THIS AND THAT. ENJOY, WELCOME HOME AND MUST CHECK OUT UMHLANGA ROCKS,BALLITO IN DURBAN CITY AND CAMPS BAY,CLIFTON IN CAPE TOWN CITY.

[@eyeforafrika]

Thank you for your feedback! We couldn’t agree with you more. Load shedding is a minor inconvenience, but we wouldn’t trade our experience in the Motherland for anything! 🖤

[@Dumizulu_Rain]

​@@eyeforafrikayou can get off the grid and it's cheaper here

[@eyeforafrika]

@@Dumizulu_RainWe’re definitely considering off-grid. Primarily because I want more land so that I can grow my own food.

You should’ve booked your trip through The Real South Africa 🇿🇦 Luxury Touring Company. They’re excellent! No load shedding at The Michelangelo Hotel. Edit: If I had a choice between load shedding or experiencing racism in Amerikkka, I’d choose load shedding any day. Ijs

[@eyeforafrika]

We reached out to TRSA but ended up planing our trip ourselves & we don’t regret it. We also loved our hotel and we especially loved the staff. We plan to stay there again when we return. Load shedding was a minor inconvenience that had absolutely no effect on our overall experience of this amazing country. Thanks so much for watching! 😊

I usually bring my own food, because im also vegan
