South Africa

We spend the last day in Africa exploring the Slave Lodge and National Museum before driving to the airport to leave after a very special trip

We end the day exploring the shops at the V&A waterfront and a great dinner at a recommended restaurant

We stop for a relatively short visit of the Castle of Good Hope the oldest standing building in South Africa built by the Dutch to protect their interests

We start our visit of downtown Cape Town with the Company Gardens a major attraction anchored by multiple museums and steeped in history

We spend our last two nights in South Africa in a special room that we splurged on in a B&B overlooking the downtown area with some great views

We finish the nature part of our safari at the Cape of Good Hope exploring the protected area and the flowering fynbos and discovering that ostriches like the ocean shore

This morning we start with a visit of Boulders and then Foxy Beach while seeing countless African penguins, both adults and chicks

We make a detour to see the surprisingly interesting and varied pictographs of the Sevilla Rock Art Trail and also enjoy the spring flowers and beautiful trail

We spend the last night before Cape Town in Clanwilliam enjoying the relaxing B&B and the many birds in the gardens as well as drinking lots of rooibos tea

We end our wildflower tour at the magnificent Skilpad Wildflower Reserve with orange flowers covering the fields as far the eye can see
