If you haven’t seen it yet, this is the exquisitely filmed video South Africans have been going crazy for in the past 10 days. The film was created by a couple of French adventurers, escaping 7 years of living with the “intense pressure” and pollution of Paris… to chase sunrises and sunsets – in SA, Lesotho and Reunion – that they seldom see back home.

Filmed by Michel Vespasien, and featuring Pauline Bachel, the video’s title alone is awesome: “Never road trip to South Africa, it’s not safe (they said).”

The video then proves just why South Africa features as a Top 10 destination in so many global surveys; serving as the perfect anecdote to negative comments about travel to SA.

As one South African, passionate traveller Adriaan Jooste, says: “Arguably one of the best videos I’ve ever seen showcasing the natural beauty of Southern Africa! You should be given a free Adventure by South African National Parks or #southafricantourism to enjoy for denouncing the critics. Awesome video!”

And there’s hope they could return for a Part II. A couple of days ago Michel posted the video on Facebook and said to his friends: “J’en ai des souvenirs plein la tête. J’y retournerai bien pour un petit tour dans la région du cap. Qui partirai avec nous?” (I have a head full of memories. I will return there to do a trip around the Cape region. Who will leave with us?)
