A bit overdue but i shall post sth still - "Where do you wanna go next?"
There is a country on this earth where i have been wanting to go!! If somebody would be kind 'nuff to sponsor me, haha.. I would love to set my foot on the wild Safari land - South Africa.Covering a huge swathe of land, washed by the Atlantic and Indian oceans, South Africa has enormous wealth above and below ground, making it one of the richest natural storehouses on the planet and undoubtedly one of the most beautiful country in the world. Its such a big country and one would really have to spend months to travel and savor the whole baeuty of this unique land.
Being the Home to the famous big 5 - Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino and Buffalo,
what atrracts me most is definitely their wildlife.. An overland trip or a guided safari in Kruger National Park will be great! Kruger is one of the premier game-watching destinations in the world. Approximately 145 mammal species occur in the park. It is possible to see all the classical African big game, including elephant, black and white rhino, hippopotamus, giraffe, zebra, buffalo, warthog and many antelope species. Large carnivores include lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog and spotted hyena. There are also many smaller mammals species which are equally as enticing. I m getting excited thinking of the big lions sniffing at the tip of my nose!!!
The other not-to-be-missed tourist attraction is its capital, Cape Town. In this beautiful city even transient visitors can't help but devote a few million brain cells to storing images of its grandeur: its striking Table Mountain backdrop, its glorious beaches and enchanting vineyards, its rugged landscapes, its strange and wonderful plants and animals. Among all, the famous Cape Point which is an 8000-hectare (19,770-acre) narrow promontory of land jutting into a stretch of open sea popularly believed to be the meeting point of the Atlantic and Indian oceans. The peninsula, situated 60km (37 miles) southwest of Cape Town, is characterised by towering sea cliffs, the highest in South Africa, which reach a height of 249m (817ft). Criss-crossed by spectacular walks and trails, the area also features whale and penguin watching, tidal pools, over a thousand species of indigenous plants and a variety of mammals, such as baboon and buck. Popular activities around Cape Point also include abseiling, parasailing, horseriding and surfing.
For those who love food and wine, SA is juz the right place to go. South African wines are among the best in the world, and with the top estates located in the scenic Cape, one should nvr miss a visit to 'em vineyards. Foodwise, For teh daring diner, SA offers culinary challenges from crocodile sirloins to fried caterpillars to sheep heads. However, those who prefer to play it altogether safe will find that most eateries offer a familiar global menu - anything from hamburgers to sushi to pad thai to spaghetti bolognaise.Sounds like a perfect holiday isnt it?? I m seriously contemplating the next wa-wa-wuu getaway!
