Okay, so we had been forewarned that as part of the redevelopment plan for the Atwood group camping area that many of the trees had been cut down. A part of us hoped though that the trees inside the circle including the three that shaded our site would still be there. Silly us. It’s been denuded. A few trees around the perimeter but none at all inside the circles. It’s going to be a sunny week! But we’ll have fun. First with some granddaughter time out here then with fellow teardrop campers!
Queen Mary 2’s arrival in the Port of Dakar, Senegal was heralded in the local press and greeted with ceremony. Our own excursion took us on a coach journey through the streets of the capital city to visit a Wolof village and the shore of Lake Retba, the salty lake famed for an intense pink color.
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.
