She also wanted to go to restaurants such as Proud Mary, Ukko, Signature, and Kitchner's, and party at places like Konka and Sumo.

In Cape Town, Mimi considered going to Bo-Kaap (as it was a great photo opportunity, thanks to the colourful houses in the neighbourhood), Old Biscuit Mill, Steenberg wine farms, Table Mountain, Robben Island, and Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA).

Regarding food spots, FYN, Burger & Lobster, Jarryds Brunch & Bistro, and Seven Colours Eatery made the list. Of course, a night at the iconic Rands nightclub was added to the itinerary.

Mimi said to the online community:

"These were all the spots I researched before going. I didn’t visit all of them, but here’s a good start for anyone going to South Africa! As always, make sure to do your own research as well! I have full vlogs of everything I did on my YouTube channel."
