The days here are brutally hot and the nights tend toward chilly but the temperature in the evening is perfect. We enjoyed conversation with neighbors and then decided It would be a good time for a walk. As we cruised the perimeter of this KOA, we realized that it was decorated with old bicycles. Just parked every at intervals around the boundary of the park. The bikes and the sunset made for a cool photo challenge! And fireworks in the sky in the direstion of Hardin was a bonus!
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.
