My Solo Trip to South Africa

I am from Nepal. I've been to South Africa 5 times and travelled all 9 Provinces by road. I would love to do it all over again. There is NO other country as beautiful 🇿🇦❤️

As a South African who has a travel agency based in South Africa, I really loved this video. It's positive videos like these that help awaken tourism in our county after covid. South Africa is a beautiful country with so much to offer.

I have been a silent watcher for a long time but just had to say that your filming, story telling and imagery is just so incredible. It feels like watching a National Geographic documentary every time. Thank you for all your hard work and sharing this with us! ❤

This vlog made me realized how grateful i should be to live in South Africa - thank you
❤

Cape Town was my first international trip and I went solo. I had the most amazing time! I hiked Lion’s Head and Table Mountain, went cage diving with Great Whites, and biked through Cape of Good Hope - It was incredible! Sadly I didn’t safari while there, but what an amazing story with the antelope and the leopard 😍

I am a very proud 59yr old South African/Capetonian and this video was very well done indeed. You certainly chose the absolute best locations to stay. If you stick to fairly basic rules you will not have any safety concerns. I don't think there is any city in the world that is safe for a solo female tourist and we are no different. Outside of our government we have the best country in the world!

Absolutely LOVE this video ❤️ It's so surreal seeing my country through someone else's eyes 🥰 simply love it! 🇿🇦❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥂

This video has truly inspired me to visit South Africa now! The beauty of the country and what it has to offer was strikingly captured through the lens of your camera!!

As a South African it is so nice to hear that you enjoyed your stay in our beautiful home country. There is so much more to see. Bring more of your friends!

Stunning!!! As a solo female traveler myself, I love how your videos highlight how thrilling it can be to experience the world on your own. I always meet amazing people and seem more connected to a place when I'm solo. Thanks for inspiring my next trip!

This is amazing and so beautiful! South Africa is on my bucket list for sure. I cannot get over how you can just be out in the open so close to the lions like that in an open vehicle!!!!! My jaw is on the floor

Been to South Africa twice and spent some time at Ulusaba in Sabi Sands both times. I’ve since been on safari other places in Africa and around the world. I remain convinced that Sabi Sands spoiled me, as far as the best overall safari experience. Nothing compares.

Absolutely incredible! I’m so jealous! You’ve definitely made up my mind on travelling to South Africa!

Beautiful captures...Thank you for showcasing South Africa 🇿🇦 to the world. Enjoy your stay

This video took my breath away!!! Your travel vids are always cinematically beautiful, but it’s your narrating it’s thoughtful and authentic 💓 every trip you post feels like the one of my dreams!

South Africa is an amazing country and I’m always talking to people about the country, but it’s a place you have to experience in person. I lived and went to school in Cape Town - amazing and life changing. What a great video and hope to see more!

Allison, You are the absolute best cinematographer I have seen on KRplus! Your stories, close-ups, and flair for beauty are amazing! I just signed up for film classes to up my game. You have inspired me to travel solo again and take my videos to a higher level, thank you so much!

Thank you for capturing my home & country so beautifully. I am proudly South African living in Cape Town, it truly is the most beautiful place in the world. SO much culture, beauty and so many incredible activities, restaurants and more to see. It is perfectly safe when staying in the hub of the city and the Atlantic seaboard. Just don’t walk the streets on your own at night and you’ll be perfectly fine! A big misconception is that the areas tourists visit are unsafe, this is not true. Majority of crime occurs in the neighbourhoods that tourists would never visit, they are far out of the hub. The safari looked incredible, hope you’ll be back soon ❤️❤️

When I visited South Africa, Kruger was definitely the highlights, but I must've spent at least half a day hanging out with the penguins at Boulder Beach! They're my favorite animal🥰

I've been waiting for this one for a long time and it did not disappoint! Absolutely breathtaking and a beautiful tribute to the magic of that land! Welcome to my travel wish list, South Africa.

From someone who’s lived in South Africa for five years, you explained everything spot on and so well! You really gave the viewer a great idea of what Cape Town and Kruger is like 😄

you literally are a cinematic genius your vlogs are STUNNINGGG omg, I never had south africa on my bucket list, but youve made me want to go 😍 AMAZINGGGG

Thank you for capturing South Africa's beauty so well 💗 I grew up there X

There’s nothing sweeter than being able to afford the luxury of traveling to different locations as enchanting and beautiful as this

This was a dream to watch! So inspiring, can't wait to visit South Africa one day.

I’ve been to East and South Africa ten times each time solo. I never once felt threaten, uneasy or frightened. Best times of my life have been in the Africa bush. ❤️🦁🐘🦒🦓🐆

South Africa looks so so beautiful! It's been on my travel list as well for a while. I've been to Kenya and Masaai Mara national park but I'd love to explore more countries and areas in Africa. I love this video!

Woooaaah seeing these animals you captured really sparked this child-like enthusiasm and happiness in me, incredible videography. I am road tripping South Africa in a week I guess I have never been this excited!!!

This video made me so proud being a South African🇿🇦Thank You Allison🌻

supper excited to go next week to South Africa!

Such a great intro! I love South Africa and can't wait to go back! You captured it so beautifully! Great vlog!

All of your travel videos have me choked up. Every. Single. Time. Thank you for sharing the beauty in your travels with us!!

I'm so glad you had the opportunity to experience my home country. It is a magical landscape with the most beautiful beaches in the world. Come back soon!

Cape Town is one of my favorite places in the world and you captured it so well! I traveled there in 2019 and I was alone for part of my trip and with friends for the other part. I was super careful in the city and booked Airbnb experiences like hiking Table Mountain, so that I could do those bucket list things with a group & a guide. It truly is one of the most amazing places in the world and your story telling and video footage is incredible. So glad I found your channel :)

Allison, the photagraphy on this video was truly amazing! You are so talented and it really shows! Love from Sweden🧡

Awesome video Allison promoting our beautiful country. As a tour guide myself you've definitely done us proud. Hope to welcome you back soon. Stay blessed!

I always look forward to your travel videos, I find them so inspiring. I learn about places I wouldn't have necessarily thought to travel to (helloooo Oman) and am constantly in awe of the beauty of the world. And as another female solo traveller I love how you work to normalize this concept. Thanks so much for sharing!

I grew up in South Africa and live in New York now! I was in Kruger many times and also lived in Cape Town for 1 year. Thanks for sharing, your voice is great at narration of the travel and being a former South African I can say that you REALLY know what you are talking about in your video...thx!

The quality with which she captures each frame in detail along with her beautiful narration deserve nothing less but love and gratitude....... Thankyou

I really enjoyed seeing my country through different eyes 🥰 your cinematographic skills are absolutely wonderful. Thank you for this wonderful video. Much love, a proud South African

I'm am from Cape Town and feel very lucky to live in this City! The next time you're in South Africa, you should take a trip along the Garden Route, which will lead you into the Eastern Cape. The Eastern Cape is an extraordinarily beautiful province (be sure to stop at Wilderness, Storms River, Jeffreys Bay, Bloukrans Bridge, Amathole Mountain Region and Tsitsikamma). The Eastern Cape also has beautiful national reserves. I'd also recommend a trip to KZN to visit the Drakensberg!

This was so inspirational Allison! Thanks so much for sharing. Your family must have wanted to climb in your suitcase!!!

You capture the beauty of life so elegantly! Thank you!!! ❤️

I'm always so impressed by your videos! You do such great work and everything feels so dreamy. I've been watching your stuff for a few years and every single time you release something I come away so inspired to travel, create, and document my life.

I love your videos so much! I'd been planning to go solo travelling (not for the first time, but for the first time in a long time) at the start of this year but things got in the way and life is difficult right now and I am living vicariously through your videos instead. Thank you!

Looks so stunning! South Africa is high up my list of places I want to visit

Thank you for visiting our country❤ i’ve been here my whole life, so you get kind of used to it, but its wonderful to appreciate it again through a tourist’s eyes

I just loved your positive was and the sweet way you presented this beautiful country. Thank you

south africa has been on my travel wishlist for years and i’m finally planning to visit this september! this video made me much more excited for the trip!

Your videography skills are on point! Thanks for inspiring me to want to go to South Africa :)

Loved your video! I am South African, and when visiting Cape Town a week doesn’t feel enough. I can just imagine how quick it had to feel for you! Thanx for the positive content! 🫶🏼

What a magnificent trip! I am a solo traveler, however this trip I would need to go with someone. Your photos are incredible. Alison, keep traveling you are such an inspiration!

One of your best videos yet! I felt like I was there on Safari and experiencing South Africa with you. And thank you for shining a light on how great solo female travel is... it gets tiresome when people always question my life choices to travel the world solo.

HOME TOWN! C.T.👍🇿🇦🇬🇧🇿🇦🇬🇧

Such a fantastic advert for South Africa....THANK YOU!

We absolutely LOVED your video and the way you captured (and edited) the beauty of South Africa! 😍

I have lived in South Africa all my life and have been to Kruger National Park numerous times, but I have NEVER heard of a Leopard dropping an antelope next to someone out of a tree and splattering blood over them 🤣 Consider it Africa's special gift to you. I am glad you had a good time in our beautiful country.

Well done, Allison! I'm a Capetonian, so viewed this with a critical eye, and you did excellently in the short time you gave yourself to describe Cape Town! Cape Town IS the most spectacular combination of city and nature anywhere on Earth; well done. Your wildlife adventure was spot on too! Thank you for being realistic about the crime problems.

Thank you for showing the world our beautiful country. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay here in South Africa, it really is so awesome.. ❤🙂

Gorgeous shots!! What an incredible tour. Thank you for sharing ❤

Stunning ❤😂🙏 South Africa 🇿🇦

It has been my dream to go to Capetown for years and I was always scared as a solo female… Thank you for doing this and showing me what is possible and this beautiful part of the world ❤

the filming is absolutely phenomental, thank you so much for editing this beautiful journey for us to live vicariously through you!

This video, as all your videos, was so visually stunning. The safari adventure was one for the books!

I'm a full time solo traveler, and South Africa has never been high on my list of places to visit. However, I've found myself in East Africa for 4 months and ended up with a house sitting opportunity on the coast in Cape Town for 6 weeks, so I'm unexpectedly heading there soon. This video just made me SO excited! Thanks for sharing!

Takes some courage to not lose it sorrounded by lions at night! 👏🏼
Africa is beautiful and thanks for capturing it's beautiful moments.

Stunning❤ both the picture and the narrative are amazing

I’m so excited for our South Africa trip now!!

This has been so beautiful! Sharing my experience too in case is useful to others. I did the same trip back in 2016, Namibia and South Africa. From both countries I have to say I did like Namibia a lot more. Animals and nature are equality stunning in both countries, but I had a radically different experience with safari guides. In Namibia, we were received by guides from the local tribes and the message we got from them at all times was that as visitors we had to respect their land and appreciante cherish what nature would show us. They shared so many stories about their life in the country and got to know so much about the history and rich culture of Namibia. In South Africa, it was the opposite. All the guides we had were disrepectful to the animals. They would purposefully drive way too close to them, bang the doors and even one guy drove the vehicle towards two resting lions and almost hit them. They did all they could to stress out the animals, to get them to stand and get defensive. They kepts saying 'the tourists want the pictures', and we got the message that, if you pay, you could just go and do whatever you want. That was not the experience I was looking for, I would go to a zoo if I wouldn't care about the animals wellbeing. When you choose to travel to the other side of the world to see an elefant where the elefant belongs, it is really disappointing to see tour guides bothering them this way.

I would love a video on how you plan for these trips. Like a step by step. Whether the trip is sponsored or not.

Thanks for such a great video of South Africa. I am South African and appreciate how others will get to see some of best that our country has to offer.

I'm from Cape Town and I love how you captured our beautiful city! Xxx

Love this vlog! I am from Cape Town and also think it is truly one of the most beautiful cities :)

South Africa beautiful country beautiful people 🇿🇦👍

I love this amazing video. You certainly chose the absolute best locations, and I must say the intro to this video is breathtaking.

South Africa is just breath taking. It's so beautiful ❤🇿🇦

Hey Allison, thank you for putting a positive spin on my country especially Cape Town, that's where I live and its simply the best city in South Africa. There is still plenty to see here so I hope you come back again. Your photography is really the best I have seen in a long while, the close up detail is amazing and its been great to see how you have captured all of the animals.

I live in ZA and I've traversed this country to all corners, you've not even scratched the surface of what you can find here. Yes, traveling alone is a bit daunting, but I can promise you 99% of us locals love meeting new people and showing off this amazing country of ours, even with loadshedding nothing stops us from lighting a braai and knowing how to have a blast of a time! xD

You are hands down my favorite content creator and inspire me so much as a creative! Keep doing amazing things Allison! 🫶🏻

Thank you for showing the beauty of Africa

You and suitcase Monkey are like my favorite travel content creators now.

Allison, every single shot you took is eye candy ❤️
The leopards, oh my God. So beautiful.
I'm curious, aren't the drivers afraid of running over a lion or something? You were so close to them!
I know you mentioned safety concerns. Did you feel safe the whole time you were in Cape Town? Numbers definitely don't mean safety but I really admire you for going alone!

Your videos are amazing!!! Thank you for vlogging your trips. I love them.

Hello mam how are you 💗 Love from India. Actually u deserve million million subscribers ...u are my inspiration ....when I cleared my neet exam then i will do this .....

I stay in Cape Town and as a local I suggest staying in groups and not out past night time on hiking trails etc otherwise it’s petty crime like pick pocketing especially your cellphone you have to watch out for ❤ but I love my city and can highly recommend the wine route as well which is the franchoek area which is phenomenal 🦋 brass bell in kalk bay is so cool or cape to Cuba xx the cbd for night life, boulders beach with the penguins and Clifton beaches for a day in the sun. Cafe caprice in camps bay is amazing restaurant in the day and a lovely party space to dance with awesome djs in the night. Beautiful little coffee shops along seapoint main road and if you can get down the west coast to langebaan is such a treat 🌸 stellenbosch is also stunning along with fish and chips in Hout Bay. Omg can you tell I love my city? 😊

You brought back so many cherished memories with this awesome caption of SA.

It’s a very special country with very special people - incredible diversity, a LOT to see, MUCH to do and EVEN MORE to savour! My favourite place…

My fiancé and I are really contemplating going to South Africa for our honeymoon, but we are a little concerned in terms of safety after some research. can anyone share their own experience and how safe you felt while you were there? we will take all precautions necessary of course, but I don't want us to feel anxious the whole trip about safety because that's not what a honeymoon or trip should be. any advice from personal experiences or advice would be appreciated :) thank you

GREAT VIDEO! THANK YOU FOR CONSISTENTLY PUTTING OUT TOP QUALITY CONTENT. VERY INTERESTED! KEEP IT UP! ❤️👍
What is life without money? I think that's irrelevant. When you live, always try to invest for future times like this to ensure profits and growth. So you are not dependent on the government. Investing in the financial market should now be on every savvy individual's bucket list.

Hands off the best cover on the video. Loved the way you portray the places in the cover.

just went to south africa and this sums up my whole trip. great visuals and well explained!

*Making money an action. Keeping money is a behavior, but "Growing money with an investment is wisdom" I figured this out a week ago.*

Each video gets better. Amazing photography! Thanks for sharing!

So wonderful! Good on you! ❤ Thanks for sharing!

This video means a lot to me because this is where my family is from. Thank you for sharing its beauty.

So glad you enjoyed your trip…I am born here..and still in South Africa..
Beautiful hidden germs all around South Africa

I love your videos and you too ,I've been waiting for a south african tour,thanks and I also love your background music

What a beautiful vlog, thank you for show casing our country through your lenses.

Cape Town has been on my list forever. I think I may have to plan a Namibia/South Africa trip. Your video was beautiful.

Well done on this amazing video. I am fortunate to live in this beautiful Cape Town. We have one of the most diversed countries. From Cape Town and the most amazing coastlines to our beautiful winelands right up to our National parks with amazing wild life.
