Mother Nature is doing her part, providing warmer days and a glorious curtain of green all around our deck. We’re trying to do our part. Now that the finish on the deck is dry we’ve moved all the furnishings back in place and set up the canopies with spiffy replacement covers. We celebrated by eating our first outdoor dinner of the season. Yea for Summertime!
Today’s safari adventure transported us out into the Dorob National Park to have up close encounters with little creatures that are well adapted to the extreme heat and lack of water in the Namib Desert.
With a UNESCO World Heritage Site, two national parks, dozens of museums, and hundreds of tours offered in the Cape Town area there is more than plenty to do. For our two day visit we opted to concentrate on African wildlife visiting the Aquila Private Game Reserve and the Boulders Beach Penguin Colony for a wonderful chance to these fabulous animals in their own habitat.
The Zulu make up a large portion of the South African population and have a culture all their own. Today we traveled from the Port of Durban on the east coast of Africa to the Valley of a Thousand Hills to learn a bit about their traditional lifestyle.
A cool, leafy retreat! What a wonderful outdoor living room!
It looks beautiful….a job well done.
