 | Safari | Most South Africa safaris take place on a wildlife reserve spanning hundreds if not thousands of kilometers. These reserves are can be owned by either the government or a private institution or individual. They provide a protected space where natural plant and animal species are allowed to go on living in much the same manner as they would have been if left untouched by modern civilization. Here a wide range of animals - usually ones that would naturally occur in the area - are allowed to mingle and benefit from each others presence. They are left completely wild and untouched. Very often visitors may be somewhat disappointed as they may see little if any wildlife while on a game drive, this is to be expected from time to time as the animals are not caged and held up to public scrutiny. Instead they are allowed to follow their own grazing or foraging patterns and to move about freely in the confines of the reserve. Most animals will keep clear of human presence but many of them become quite familiar with the dull hum of safari vehicles and don't mind sticking around for people to see.

|  | Whale Watching | At the southern tip of Africa, where two of the world's greatest oceans converge, a total experience of land, sea and the rainbow culture of the Western Cape offer you the most exciting land based whale watching venues in the world!
Each year Southern Right whales migrate into the coastal waters of the Western Cape to calve and nurse their young. The animals, often mere metres from the shore, provide unsurpassed whale watching opportunities between June and November. Humpbacks migrate through the region between May and December each year, while Bryde's whales are found slightly further offshore all year round. | | [go back] |
|  | Shark Cage Diving | Sharks are quite possibly the world's most feared animals. From the smallest sand shark to the enormous whale shark, they are sleek, muscled, and some are almost as agile as a dolphin. There is no doubt that they are the most evolved predators in the ocean. Row upon row of teeth and capable of sensing the blood of an injured animal from over a kilometre away, its not surprising that they are the most feared creature beneath the waves. And of them all, the Great White is the most awesome.
What we are offering you is the opportunity to dive and meet a Great White Shark, face to face - and on your own terms. Its an education and you will soon learn that this magnificent creature is in fact, highly misunderstood. It is a creature which should be more respected than feared. And if you spend some quality time with us, and with them, you will quickly learn why. | | [go back] |
|  | Penguins | | The African Penguins at The Boulders between Simons Town and Cape Point must be one of the most popular destinations to visit in Cape Cape Town. Here you find a colony of Penguins, wandering free amongst the bathers with not a care in the world. You will also have the opportunity to watch them at close range, which is quite a marvelous sight to see. It is interesting to note that in 1982 there were only two breeding pairs. These days there are over three thousand penguins at Bolders. A "must see" destination for all tourists. | | [go back] |
