My family recently hired a vehicle from car rental south africa and travelled the southern parts of Africa. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and have already started to plan our next visit, hopefully in the New Year. The weather was so accommodating, not a day of rain. The people are so friendly and hospitable, it was truly so refreshing to be welcomed by strangers in the street. South Africa is a wonderful place; not at all like the media always make it out to be, although I have never been one always believe what I read.
