Africa has become synonymous with wildlife reserves and safaris, but every country on the continent has so much more. In this talk, using personal experience and images, Sue Flipping takes us on a virtual trip through South Africa’s Garden Route – from green winelands and huge ostrich farms to caves deep underground and hills with glorious 360 views. Along the way, we’ll consider the troubled history of the country, explore aspects of 21st century culture and find out why South Africans are so proud of their fynbos.
Sue has been an independent traveller for most of her adult life – never using travel agents and/or tour guides. Since 2016, when semi-retirement gave her the opportunity to travel further afield, she has road-tripped through Australia, New Zealand, the United States, central America, southern Africa and some Caribbean Islands. She’s also travelled Vietnam, Cambodia and India as well as places closer to home; Spain, France, Greece and Italy, for example.
