点评:This is mine and my family's third trip to South Africa and it's a privilege. South Afica is a vibrant, vast, and incredibly beautiful country with a rich and diverse culture.
Today, 04.11.25, we travelled with our tour guide, Richard, to Constitutional Hill, Johannesburg Botanical Gardens, a grill or Braai lunch in Soweto, and Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens. The morning's tour was extremely educational, moving, and challenging, but essential for understanding some of South Africa's complex history and new developing democracy. The afternoon was more relaxing. The food made authentically by local people was incredible. The Botanical Gardens, especially The Walter Sisulu one was something to behold. In fact, I think The Walter Sisulu one could merit a half day or full day tour on it's own because it's not simply a garden.
Our private guide, Richard, was a gentleman. He was extremely knowledgeable, humble, patient, approachable, and very attentive, especially towards my mum. He listened intently, was informative, warm, and very easy to engage with. Tour guides, like Richard, are a pleasure to work with. Their enthusiasm for their work, their knowledge delivery, approach, and manner are inspiring and leave people like me wanting to learn more.
翻译:这是我和家人第三次来南非,我们感到非常荣幸。南非是一个充满活力、幅员辽阔、风景如画的国家,拥有丰富多元的文化。
今天,2025年11月4日,我们跟随导游理查德游览了宪法山、约翰内斯堡植物园,在索韦托享用了烧烤午餐,并参观了沃尔特·西苏鲁植物园。上午的行程极具教育意义,令人感动,也颇具挑战性,但对于理解南非复杂的历史和新兴民主制度至关重要。下午的行程则轻松惬意。当地人亲手烹制的地道美食令人赞叹。植物园,尤其是沃尔特·西苏鲁植物园,更是美不胜收。事实上,我认为沃尔特·西苏鲁植物园本身就值得安排半天或一天的行程,因为它不仅仅是一个花园。
我们的私人导游理查德是一位绅士。他知识渊博、谦逊有礼、耐心亲切、平易近人,而且非常细心周到,尤其对我的母亲更是如此。他认真倾听,讲解详尽,热情友好,让人很容易产生共鸣。像理查德这样的导游,合作起来非常愉快。他们对工作的热情、渊博的知识、讲解方式和待人接物都令人敬佩,也让我这样的人渴望学习更多。
