My last day in Africa and I decided to hire a car and drive to Hermanus to spot Whales. This was my first time driving abroad, and South Africa is the ideal destination to pop you’re driving abroad cherry. With cheap car hire (I paid £10 for the entire day), good road signs and if you live in the UK, they drive on the correct side of the road. These no need to spend £70 on a boat tour, park your car somewhere between the 12-mile coastal path and you can watch about 11 southern right whales, breaching, tail slapping, fin slapping, spy-hopping and blowing. It’s a genuinely rememberable, relaxing experience to end your time in South Africa.
