I would love to visit South Africa as it is supposed to be a really beautiful country. Thank you for the competition xx
I’d love to visit south Africa as my parents have been and said it was amazing!
We’ve only ever visited the very north of Africa (Tunisia, Morocco) so I’d love to visit South Africa to get a completely different view of such a diverse and beautiful continent.
Cape Town and the surrounding areas is one of the most beautiful locations in the world. Wonderful wine, scenery and steeped in history. A great backdrop to great crime fiction.
My friends husband Is South African so I’m always hearing how wonderful it is!
A beautiful city in a beautiful country.
If I am honest , I would love to visit Cape Town to do the wine route 🙂
I would love to visit Table Mountain & tour The Garden Route! Oh, and of course enjoy the wonderful beaches! ♀️
I would love to re-visit Cape Town and really explore it. Last time I was there was only for three days – only time to get up Table Mountain and see some of the obvious sights. I would love to explore the Western Cape and do more wine tasting (just love Pinotage!). Thanks for the chance to enter – this is a new author to me.
Cape Town and whale watching along the coast plus the penguins would be awesome.
I’d love to see the wonderful gardens open to the public in South Africa, & enjoy local food & wine.
I have friends who came from South Africa and they made the places there sound fantastic so would love to visit
I’d love to read this, sounds like a gripping thriller
