Cape Point Travel Blogs

After 6 months of travelling many things have happened. I saw whalesharks in Mozambique, heard lions roaring in Serengeti, smelled exotic spices in Zanzibar.

We did had to take all our stuff, because the plan was that we did not get back to the luxury of the hotel. All packed in the truck/bus, the next destination was "Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve".

Welcome to my travels through Africa - I had the pleasure of experiencing South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia and Botswana

Promoting home! No words only a couple of photographs of home and all that are dear to me.

If you are visiting Cape Town in South Africa... I suggest a drive along the coast down to Cape Point. You will find the most amazing sea views and very beautiful hiking trails. The TWO OCEANS Restaurant is a must... enjoy a bottle of wine and enjoy the fantastic views.  

We reached the southern most point of Africa. Truly stunning scenario (photos forthcoming). I (Tim) managed to swim in both the Atlantic and Indian oceans in the span of about 2 hours. Very chilly waters, but refreshing. Kari has been doing a great job driving our little Euro rental…
