旅行者へのアドバイス
交通アクセス
Predominantly self-drive.
Roads are very easy to navigate. Not a lot of traffic. Even though there are options for private transport, it is much easier to be independant and have your own car.
必見
A photo of the iconic White Church.
Also a walk in the Marloth Nature Reserve and some game viewing (mostly buck) in the Bontebok Park.
風習と文化
Eveybody nods to greet each other
Regardless of whether they know each other, it's called the Swellendam Nod. :)
必要な持ち物
Bring comfortable walking shoes for the mountains
Also, it can get very chilly in the evenings and mornings from June through September... sometimes there is even snow on the mountains. By the same token, it can get very hot in Jan, Feb, March... sometimes reaching 40'C.
