Is driving in South Africa considered a good option for travelers?
Driving can be a good way to explore, especially if you want to see the more remote areas, but it's important to be aware of the driving conditions. Roads can vary greatly in quality, and it's wise to have a GPS and a good map. Be extra cautious of driving at night and in less populated areas.
