The beaches,...

You want more good reasons why you should visit our country... Well, no problem, what about lying on one of our beautiful and exotic beaches, getting a nice tan under the lovely South African sun, taking a dip in the sparkling warm and clear blue ocean and enjoying an ice cold glass of South Africa's famous beer or maybe a glass of one of our great fruit juices...

The wildlife,...

You would like some more excitement... All right, let us go on safari then, tracking the big 5. Just imagine yourself sitting in the back of the 4 wheel drive safari vehicle, the game ranger behind the steering wheel, the tracker on his special seat up front above the bulbar. Everybody looking searchingly into the bush, across open patches, senses very tight. All of a sudden the tracker hisses ssssht!! and points ahead.

And then you see him, appearing from behind a cluster of bushes. A massive elephant bull, eares slowly flapping, its large tusks almost touching the ground. The ranger quietly shifts into reverse gear, just in case! A little shaky... Don't worry, the game ranger was prepared and had the situation in hand.

The vehicle moves on slowly,everybody on the lookout again. All of a sudden the tracker up front points to the left. He thought he saw something. Tension is rising and then,...yes,...the king of animals lying on his side, resting. A gloriously powerful male lion, its wild bunch of mane-hair stretching down his back.

Not far from him the pride of lionesses are lying in the shade under a camel thorn tree. A mother lioness is playing with her two cubs. Then she suddenly turns away form the cubs, her eyes fixed on a small herd of ...wildebeest... (gnu's).

She is hungry and her cubs have not eaten for quite a while. She has selected her pray and slowly she starts moving, all her senses totally focused. In the game drive vehicle the adrenaline starts flowing...

The Cape,...

What is our next stop going to be ... Cape Town... Excellent choice! Imagine yourself sitting in the Cape Explorer roofless double decker bus, enjoying the warm sunshine, taking in the street-scenes around you.

The bus is taking you up Buitengracht street en Kloofnek road, turning left into Table Mountain road. At the lower cableway station you get off the bus, the cable car waiting to take you up 1067 mtrs. to the top of Table Mountain.

Once inside, the cable car starts to move and you see Cape Town slowly sinking away beneath your feet. Suddenly the platform you are standing on inside the round cable car, starts to rotate, taking you through a 360 degree circle.

Your view changes from looking across Cape Town, Table bay harbour and Robben Island, to looking straight up the mountain side, some baboons on a small ledge staring back at you.

After a few minutes you arrive at the top, a 3 km wide and flat sandstone plateau. Full of excitement you start walking along the pathways, taking in the spectacular views at the 11 different viewpoints, ending up in the restaurant on the plateau, to enjoy our great South African food and wine and to reflect upon your new experiences.
