She explained that they were staying in an Airbnb the entire time but went through the Gondwana Nature Reserve for the safari, and the experience was just out of this world. The woman said that she could tell that the people were raised by good vibrations, and everything they did was because they were just the kindest people on earth who really didn't expect much in return. She shared that she was leaving the place full of joy, empathy, and feeling very peaceful.

The visitor mentioned it's always a bit overwhelming when you're in a new country, and you want to adapt to the culture. She thought she would be looking up things online all the time, but instead, she was just in a flow state. She said the views are impeccable, but among the beauty of the place, the people are incredible. The woman ended by saying that if you haven't been to Cape Town or South Africa in general, you're missing out.
