I have been to RSA twice and Namibia once.

I will never go back to the RSA. IMO, Namibia was much more "African" and friendly. The people there actually seem to like their government and respect the laws.

I'm sure there are exceptions, but the Johannesburg Airport experience vs the Windhoek Airport was no contest. Everyone in Johannesburg had their hand out for a tip. It made me cringe. I felt as if, if I did not comply, my bags would never get to their destination.

My wife and I enjoyed the Namibian safari/vacation and would go back in a heartbeat, but not through Johannesburg.
