Three years after my previous trip, my friends invited me at their home in Pretoria. Naturally they showed me the town and the area including Pilanesberg and Kyalami. The racing track was visited because the host and I both are longtime fans of racing cars.
After a couple of days of enjoying warm hospitality I left them and travelled along the line Johannesburg - Durban - Port Elizabeth - Cape Town. South Africa proved again to be a country with lots of opportunities to take pictures. The highlights are shown here.
