Road trips are the best therapy around, and how lucky are we to be able to visit 19 national parks dotted all over South Africa? That’s roughly four million hectares of protected wilderness, offering everything from unique animal sightings to wild floral displays and views to make your knees go weak.
Some national parks, like Table Mountain, are accessible from your front door, while others like |Ai-|Ais/Richtersveld make you work a little harder for your dose of starry skies. Here at go! we love each one of our national parks, and this series of photos shows why.
Get out there and support sustainable, local tourism. And make memories for life.
