If you're going to Botswana, you should definitely check out some of the National Parks, like Okavango Delta/Moremi Game Reserve and Nxai Pan (So much amazing wildlife etc. and feels much less touristy than places like Kruger Park in South Africa, but obv depends if you get a guided tour or go alone/with a friend that has had experience in national parks etc.) What is also really cool is Kubu Island (basically a small "island" inside a Salt Pan with a ton of Baobab trees)

The paragliding you mentioned takes off from the top of Signal Hill and you land on the Sea Point promenade. It costs R1800 (or ~$100)

[@rribbonss]

warning though it is not safe because of the wind, someone died like last week. Two tandems crashed into each other and one landed in the ocean.

From others, I have heard that you have to be ready for several different climates on your climb. From t-shirt to winter jacket. If you hire a porter, which many do, be careful of theft. Also enquire about malaria medication, I think you have to start about three weeks before. A terrific place to visit is Zanzibar, just off the coast of Tanzania. No matter where you go, don't flash cash and if kids crowd around you, give them notepads and pencils, no money. Good luck and stay safe!

[@justinbchen]

You start malarone 1-2 days before entering a risky area and end 7 days after. It can't be used long-term due to side effects. The kids also typically appreciate gifts of food.

[@solamano7239]

@@justinbchen - Yeah, depends on what medecine is available in your country. I was fortunate to spend time in Zanzibar, absolutely loved it! Fruit (oranges) are also good for the kiddies but I found that even small hotels ran out of paper, so it just made sense to me to help with school materials. It is quite impoverished as are many World Heritage sites.

Also there are some really cool ruralish places to visit that are a lot less congested than the cities like the Cape Winelands which also have some beautiful mountains and landscapes. There are tons of places to walk around or camp in this country

Cool to see you in Cape Town. Enjoy. Garden route is a nice road trip. The Cederberg region is really beautiful too. If you like wine and nice vibes then Franschhoek and Stellenbosch are nice places to visit. Botswana has the Okavango river delta which is where a river just gives up and evaporates instead of going to the sea. I think that's cool. May as well visit Big Daddy sand dune & Skeleton coast in Namibia too, it's kind of on the way. Good luck with Kilimanjaro, you don't need to train or anything, and chances are you'll be fine with the altitude. But one thing - for real dude, the top of Kili is really, really cold and you need to figure out a way to play with like 2 pairs of gloves on. They were building an internet mast there when I visited but idk if it's finished. Enjoy the trip

[@hannahdamnson]

Hey rainbolt! I’m so excited to see you visiting my beautiful motherland! I’d recommend checking out table mountain and lions head. You can hike or be taken up in a cart. If you have the chance to go to Limpopo I HIGHLY RECOMMEND visiting the BLYDE RIVER CANYON. it’s one of the largest green canyons. Specifically the 3 rondavels as a lookout point. There’s tons of things to do in Cape Town, like literally anything. Go to the waterfront, sea point promenade, orjanezitcht market, kalk bay, rondebosch markets. I really hope you enjoy your stay here!! This place is crazy

I like videos like this where theres no editing and it's mainly just you talking.)

@@AnagramMK7 was in Kenya last month and it was fine. There are occasional police checkpoints where they are searching for migrants. As long as you're not near the border there's not much danger from the Somalian conflict.

[@solamano7239]

I lived in Nairobi in the 70's and the city was not safe. Basically tourists came to see the animals and left. There were signs inside the hotel doors telling people not to go out in groups of less than six. My parents were attacked after Church and shot at, thank God they were not harmed. People can be very kind but it is a dangerous continent due to the poverty.

It is extremely difficult and expensive to mimic sunlight and make shadows so realistic. He also has to add random car sounds and synchronizes it with the cars in the background. Blowing wind on his mic and his hair then synchronize it with the trees are also required. This is still possible to be fake, but Rainbolt probably has to hire an entire team and spend tons of time and money to make it look this realistic.

You should visit the Garden Route (George in particular) when you've finished Kilamanjaro. Not too far from Cape Town and has often been voted as one of the top 10 most beautiful areas in the world.

Hike Table Mountain as preparation for Kilimanjaro, and then take a trip to the Drakensburg mountains on your way to Lesotho to hike there - INSANELY beautiful (and snowy at this time of the year). Also visit Johannesburg for some variety, it's quite different from Cape Town. Take a stroll around Emmarentia Dam or go check out the Sterkfontein Caves (100% recommend a cave experience if you haven't had one)
