    My favorite city, been six times. My first trip was backpacking from Zimbabwe to CapeTown with a diversion to Durban. Then taking the Garden Route to CapeTown. That trip was crazy, I'll never forget it for the rest of my life.

      ​​@@TheBackpackstersI was a young naive, Indian, (Mumbai) American. I started my journey in Kenya as well but I did a overland trip from Nairobi to Harare, Zimbabwe. Then I backpacked on my own to South Africa. I had a amazing and memorable adventure. I also ended up taking train from CapeTown to Johannesburg in second class. I was told by the travel agent it's not safe but I didn't have money to fly. What a adventure. Changed my life.

    My first video watching you, welcome to South Africa. Yes, SA have safety and security issues, we dont deny that, but it is better to speak to locals, other Africans have a skew look (no offence). But, SA is also home to the most friendly people, who will go out they way to help you.

    We as South Africans we don't appreciate what you label about South Africa. How is South African the most dangerous country in Africa while they're countries in Africa who are in war? South Africa is the most visited country in Africa so why people are visiting it while it is the most dangerous country in Africa please make it make sense?

      Namibia's crime rate is much higher than South Africa's I moved from SA to Namibia and I have only experienced 1 breackin in SA in the 14 years that I lived there and in Namibia I experienced 9 breckins in 1 and a half years and we have had armed robery warnings and I almost got hit by a armed robery vehical and we have had about 28 workers who worked for us and they all either stole or did not work at all so SA wins in the more safe department for me and also the cheaper and more advanced and friendlier and more accesable countrey

      @@TheBackpacksters I withdraw my strong words, may be you wanted to attract viewership for your content, that why your video heading says ".....the most dangerous country...." But that's arguable, urban crime is everywhere, it's worse is USA, even India, but I think it's not proper to labels SA as such.
