- Cape Town - a city at the end of the world
South Africa is one of the most popular countries in Africa. The uniqueness of nature and culture is combined here with a fairly high standard of living and, as a result, service. Unlike many other African countries, excursions in South Africa are held not only in national parks and reserves, but also in cities. Here you can go on a safari or relax in a quality resort, fish and hunt or taste delicious food and drinks, admire the beauty of nature or play sports and outdoor activities.
In the north of the country there is a wildlife sanctuary - Kruger Park, in the south - the historic center, the city of Cape Town. In the west of the country there are the best beaches and restaurants with the most delicious cuisine from local seafood, and in the east of South Africa - the unique landscapes of the Road of Flowers.
Travel to the ends of the world
Want to visit the end of the world for as little as $ 265? Travel to the most famous point in South Africa, the Cape of Good Hope. For a long time this place was considered the southernmost point of the mainland. In fact, Cape Agulhas deserves this title, but it remained little known, giving way to glory to the Cape of Good Hope.
I must say that the place where the Indian and Atlantic oceans converge is notable for its unusual beauty. The temperature difference between the connecting currents has endowed this area with fogs, strong winds and constant waves that can be observed from the rocky shores. It is home to seals and spectacled penguins that have settled outside Antarctica and perfectly settled on this warm continent. The reserve located here helps to protect animals from attacks by cheetahs and other predators.
To get to the Cape of Good Hope, you will have to climb along the Atlantic Ocean along a winding mountain trail. You can climb to the lighthouse either on foot or by cable car. Baboons are found here, so tourists should always be on the lookout - cunning animals strive to profit from the pockets or bags of visitors to the cape. If you come to the park by car, be sure to lock it and lock the windows - smart baboons can not only crawl through the window, but also open an unlocked car.
After visiting the Cape of Good Hope, you can head to an ostrich farm, penguin beach or Simonstown to relax after a long journey.
Whale safari
Some excursions do not take place in South Africa all year round, so visiting them is a real success. From July to November, you can go on a safari for only $ 265, not to the jungle, but to the sea.
Two hours' journey from the capital is the town of Hermanus, from where the journey to visit the whales begins. You can also observe these giant marine mammals from land - it is from Hermanus that the best view of their areas of habitat in the ocean opens. If you wish, you can go to sea by boat to get closer to the whales and see them as well as possible.
Sometimes you manage to get so close to whales that you can hear their breathing and see every detail on their body. In addition to southern whales, there are killer whales, humpback whales, dolphins and fur seals. For those who want to see the whales closer, but are afraid to go out on the water, air excursions are organized. And after lunch in Hermanus, you can go for a local wine tasting.
Cape Town - a city at the end of the world
A guided tour of Cape Town can be incredibly rewarding, and it only costs $ 192 per group. There are many ways to get to know the architecture and history of the city, but the most interesting is the panoramic tour.
After visiting the Fortress of Good Hope, you will go to the City Garden. Once this garden was a simple vegetable garden, but now it is the largest botanical garden and city park.
After that, you can take the cable car to Table Mountain. She is one of the main attractions of the city. The absolutely flat top of the mountain has become an ideal platform for a panoramic view. The dizzying view from this mountain allows you to see not only the entire Cape Town, but almost the entire Cape Peninsula.
After the tour, you can go to one of the best restaurants in the city.
