MEMOIRS OF SOUTH AFRICA: Chapter 5 – Cape Town
South Africa is one of the world’s premier adventure destinations. Here you can gaze into the eyes of the majestic great white shark in a breathtaking cage diving experience or venture into one of its famous rivers, feeling an adrenaline rush white water rafting. You can bungee jump from the highest commercial bridge in the world, tour a National Park in a hot air balloon, hike the demanding and famous Tsitsikama waterfall trails, go sailing along the coastline, and more.
Watching a majestic lion resting in the shade or a herd of elephants crossing a road to reach the watering hole is an incredible and inspiring moment. In South Africa’s vast expanses of wildlife, the journey into the soul of Africa begins. You will not be able to describe the feeling of hearing for the first time the distant roar of a lion, the laughter of the hyena at night or the song of thousands of cicadas at midday. And the sensations increase when you see a leopard hiding in a tree or feel the vibration of the ground because a herd of giant elephants crosses in front of you. This only happens in South Africa.
