H9 remains a good
looker. With
a seriously
luxurious cabin and
all the gadgets, it
is the prefect road
trip partner.South Africa is only so big, which presents a bit of a
problem to regular travellers. If you can’t afford to
travel overseas to experience something completely
new, what can you do?

UCKILY, we live in a country where
no experience is ever quite the same as
before. You could visit the same spot
every year for a decade and chances
are you’ll get 10 different experiences.
It’s a strange phenomenon. Strange but true.
The Panorama Route in Mpumalanga is
a prime example. If you’re a South African
living in the northern parts of the country,
there’s a 90% chance you’ve been there and an
80% chance you’ve been more than once.
Yet, there’s always something special which
makes every experience different to the rest.
Or perhaps it’s just a case of being caught
up in the romance of travelling that we find
so special?ANY EXCUSE
FOR A
ROAD TRIP
