Cape Town
Cape Town is southern Africa's most beautiful, most romantic and most-visited city. Few urban centers anywhere can match its setting along the Cape Peninsula spine, which slides like the mighty tail of the continent into the Atlantic Ocean. By far the most striking - and famous - of its sights is Table Mountain, frequently mantled by clouds, and rearing up from the middle of the city to provide a constantly changing vista to the suburbs below. Table Mountain is the city's solid core which divides the city into distinct zones with public gardens, wilderness, forests, hiking routes, vineyards and desirable residential areas trailing down it's lower slopes.
Kruger National Park
This enormous and magnificent park is one of the most popular public game parks in the world. Its density of permanent game is unrivalled with hundreds of different species; 507 birds, 336 trees, 147 mammals, 114 reptiles, 49 fish and 34 amphibians! Sighting the "Big Five" has become a quest for many people on safari, and Kruger National Park has more than its fare share of these, with an estimated 1,800 lion, 9,125 elephant, 25,000 buffalo, unknown number of leopards and 2,300 black and white rhino. These animals became the 'Big Five' because they are the five most dangerous animals to hunt - when injured they attack! There are plenty of other fascinating animals and birds in the African bush.
Bazaruto Archipelago
Bazaruto Archipelago is a group of islands located in the warm Indian Ocean waters of Mozambique including Benguerra Island, Bazaruto Island, Magaruque Island and Santa Carolina (Paradise) Island. The crystal clear azure seas provide visitors with unparalleled diving and snorkeling experiences, fishing, and a range of thrilling water sports in the "Pearl of the Indian Ocean." Bazaruto Archipelago is a popular destination for honeymoon getaways and luxury eco-escapes, due to the unspoiled beauty, pristine beaches and diverse ecology of the islands and reefs.
