I lived in CT for about four years, working for an ad agency and living near Bantry Bay. We were there for the first Freedom Day and watched Madiba address the crowd. Bought a classic Range Rover, and when it wasn't in the shop, drove through Namibia, Botswana, Swaziland, Zambia, Zimbabwe, doing dozens and dozens of safaris. Although the crime was through the roof (esp. in Jo'berg) we never had any issues as we were very careful (except for that one time my fuel pump seized while driving next to a township... took me an hour of convincing to find a tow truck operator who would actually go there to get us... that was scary). Aside from all that I'd go back in a second. Cool clean air, incredible landscape, great drives, animal parks, wineries, reasonable cost of living and wonderful friendly people. Looking forward to going back with my teenagers and taking a nice slow drive through Kruger or Hluhluwe!
