Africa Travel Guides: Where do you want to go?
Here's the thing about these Africa travel guides: I'm not writing them as a tourist. I was born in South Africa, Johannesburg is my home city, and "going to the bush" isn't a bucket list item for my family — it's just what we do. So this page comes with the stuff guidebooks won't tell you: which neighborhoods locals actually avoid, why you should NEVER wear your safari outfit in the city (I'm begging you), and how to do a self-drive safari without paying tour company prices. Start with South Africa — the country I know better than anywhere on Earth — and stick around, because this section is only going to grow.
South Africa Travel Guides
South Africa is home — literally. I grew up here, and the Kruger National Park is my favorite place in the entire world. Whether you want to spot the Big Five on safari, find things to do in Johannesburg beyond its reputation, or learn how to stay safe in South Africa without being scared, these guides are written by someone who has spent a lifetime doing exactly that.

Eat the World: Recipes for dishes in Africa for home
Can't fly there? Cook it instead. Eat the World is my challenge to cook a dish from every country. The Africa chapter of Eat the World starts where it should — with bobotie, the national dish of South Africa, made by an actual South African (so you KNOW it's legit).
