Elephants crossing the Olifants River and elephants in the road in the Kruger National Park. Sunrise from the Gariep Mediclinic in Kimberley in the Northern Cape Province. Next, drone footage of a whale and her calf in Plettenberg Bay, and we will show you more from across South Africa Today.

South Africa Weather Today Update
Today, most of South Africa will enjoy dry and warm to very warm conditions, though areas along the eastern escarpment may see some cloud cover and light drizzle. A cold front is set to sweep across the extreme south, bringing strong winds along the south and east coasts and making for a blustery afternoon across much of the interior. KwaZulu-Natal and the Lowveld will swelter under very hot temperatures ahead of the front, but by Sunday, cooler air will move in behind the system, bringing relief to the south, KwaZulu-Natal Province, and the Highveld. The northern regions will largely remain dry and comfortably warm. Meanwhile, the South African Weather Service has issued fire danger warnings for the Northern Cape, Eastern Cape, Free State, and KwaZulu-Natal, urging residents to exercise caution as extremely high fire risk persists in these provinces.

Welcome to our channel, SA Today! We will try to upload a video every day, or every third day, from somewhere in South Africa (SA) where we travel. We live in the platteland, but try to see as much of South Africa as we can. Join us on a journey as we explore South Africa's beauty through daily video captures. From breathtaking landscapes to vibrant cities, we showcase our country's diversity and charm.

Subscribe and come along for the adventure!

We want to show our viewers as many places across the country as we can that are worth visiting. South Africa is a large country, and only some locals know where all these places are. We added a map we created to show where we filmed. We also try to provide some history of many of the towns, museums, and events in South Africa on that day. We take pride in bringing original, captivating videos that leave you in awe.

The Original SA Today Channel. Thanks for watching.
