South Africa Expedition - Viver a Viagem

How about joining Viver a Viagem on our next trip to South Africa? That’s right! Join us in this expedition and travel through the lenses of Viver a Viagem and Life by Lufe.

Why South Africa?

South Africa is one of the most diverse countries in the African continent. Direct 9-hour-flights depart daily from Sao Paulo to Johannesburg. Connections to Cape Town or Durban are also available.

Joburg or Jo’zi, as locals refer to Johannesburg, is a bustling metropolis and the main gate to South Africa and the African continent. It is home to 7% of South Africans.

Stunning nature blends with a history traced by disputes and battles. Add 11 official languages, ethic diversity, two oceans, food and wine galore and a society as intricate as Brazil’s.

South Africa offers a good cost benefit for tourists!

We seek places yet to be found and real people to share their stories.

Itinerary

South Africa is twice the size of France. It is impossible to get to know the whole country in one trip. South Africa is a place to be frequently visited.

As our first time in South Africa we chose Johannesburg; Kruger Park, the biggest of all parks in South Africa; Blyde Canyon and Panoramic Route, world’s third biggest canyon; iSimangaliso, a vast region filled with mangrove, bogs and beaches bordering Swaziland and Mozambique; Zulu culture heart near Isandlwana; Hluhluwe-iMflozi, the first park in the country; Drakensberg, the tallest mountain range in South Africa; Cape Winelands, country’s wine capital; and Cape Town, one of the most beautiful cities in the world and where Dutch settlers first arrived.

Who are we partnering with?

People create beautiful things by connecting to people. We are no exception to this. For each travel project we look for people passionate about their work.

Viver a Viagem is transparent when picking partners. We study case by case. When we promote a service we truly believe on it and we do think about you (reader). We want to awaken the desire for you to easily do the same and get inspired.

Our official partners are Multiplus (the biggest loyalty program in Brazil) and Latam (one of the biggest air companies in the world). We also have been invited by South African Tourism to travel the country. All of our partners believe in what we do. This partnership is the result of hard work and dedication to what we believe in.

We picked hotels, lodges, safaris and cultural experiences based on what we believe. We proudly recommend them: African Pride, Mala Mala Game Reserve, Summer fields, Kosi Forest Lodge, Thonga Beach Lodge, Rhino Ridge Lodge, Isibindi Zulu Lodge, Fugitives Drift Lodge, Fordoun, The Last Word Franschhoek, Oued Werf, Delaire Graff, Distell, Wine, Cape Cadogan and Escapades in Africa.

Who are we?

We travel the world showcasing our journeys and broadcasting stories through professional travel writing, photography, video and engaging social media. We bring unique travel experiences, we want to inspire people to know real people, real places and cultures.

If you already follow Viver a Viagem I am quite sure you are familiar with my photography. If this is your first time, start here, and get to know a little about the website. Viver a Viagem was born from my passion on photography and writing about cultural experiences.

Life by Lufe is the wonderful photography project of Lufe Gomes, in which he seeks out-of-the-box houses and decor around the world. Places that are singular for reflecting in each detail the personality of those who live there. He is always looking for inspiration and to know how people live.

More than decoration, the project shows creative styles and lessons learnt from people that surround us.
