Upon deciding to venture to Africa for a safari, I knew from friends that in addition to seeing and photographing animals, I wanted to explore Cape Town and Victoria Falls. I, therefore, reviewed tours with companies I’ve worked with before and decided on a 22-day adventure with KE Adventure out of England, who books with on-the-ground company Sunway Safaris. I liked the itinerary and the promised small group experience.
This morning, I met my group. With ten travelers and two guides, both named Sifiso!, I climbed into our safari truck and headed to the southern-most tip of the African continent.
Our “home away from home” for the next three weeks.
After a short stop at Hout Bay, we continued to Cape Point, hiking first to the lighthouse at the cliff top and then down to the Cape of Good Hope.
On the roadside, wild ostriches greeted us.
At Simon’s Town (yes! that’s the name!), we saw penguins.
The Atlantic Ocean water felt cool and refreshing.
Great to see you got to Cape of Good Hope, beautiful area! That’s quite the bus? van? Can’t imagine you’ll stay in that during game drives… Loving your photos as always!
They call it the “Red Elephant.” I’ll let you know! My guess is we’ll transfer to a less…conspicuous vehicle when we do game drives. In the meantime, our truck seats twelve relatively comfortably…
