South Africa is suitable for travel all year round, with good weather throughout the year. The best travel season is from September to November, when the weather is good and the temperature is moderate, with an average temperature of 15-25°C.

The so-called 'black and white' refers to: constrained by race, religion, and customs, the social etiquette followed by black and white South Africans is different; mainly British refers to: for a long period of history, white people controlled the South African government, and white people's social etiquette, especially British-style social etiquette, prevailed in South African society. At present, the common greeting etiquette adopted by South Africans in social situations is a handshake, and their titles for their interlocutors are mainly 'Mr.', 'Miss', or 'Mrs'. Among black tribes, especially in rural areas, black South Africans often show a style different from the mainstream of society. For example, they are accustomed to giving ostrich or peacock feathers to distinguished guests. The appropriate thing for guests to do at this moment is to insert these precious feathers into their hats or hair. Taboos South Africans who believe in Christianity avoid the number 13; black South Africans greatly respect their ancestors, and they particularly avoid disrespect to their ancestors by outsiders. When talking with South Africans, there are four topics that should not be touched: 1. Do not praise white people 2. Do not comment on the relationship and contradictions between different black tribes or factions. 3. Do not criticize the ancient customs of black people 4. Do not congratulate the other party for having a boy Itinerary Introduction DAY1 Shanghai-Addis Ababa DAY2 Addis Ababa-Cape Town DAY3 Cape Peninsula Tour DAY4 Winery Town-Dias Maritime Museum & Post Tree-Garden Avenue Town DAY5 Garden Avenue Town-Oudtshoorn Ostrich Park-Wild Beach-Knysna-Garden Avenue Town DAY6 Garden Avenue Town-Tsitsikamma National Park-Port Elizabeth DAY7 Port Elizabeth-Johannesburg-Sun City DAY8 Sun City-Pretoria-Johannesburg DAY9 Johannesburg-Victoria Falls City DAY10 Victoria Falls City-Livingstone-Victoria Falls City DAY11 Victoria Falls City-Addis Ababa-Shanghai DAY12 Shanghai
