Home to the African Penguins
Boulders Beach in
the Western Cape
is home to the African Penguins.
Boulders Beach was started in 1983 and one
of the very few mainland Penguin colonies.
The sea is great to swim in and the big boulders scattered on the beach provide shade and protection.
Visiting the Penguins is a fun activity for the whole family, spend some time viewing and learning about the history and importance of conservation of these beautiful African Penguins.
Tip: plan a trip with a few extra hours to spare and
visit the small historical town of Simonstown.
Simonstown has a lot to offer from whale watching to streets filled with
history and heritage. Something you might not know is that their best time is
during winter, I know right. Reason being they are part of the few small towns
who are North-facing and they surrounded by magnificent mountains so well the
rest are wet and windy, Simonstown is perfectly happy in the sun.
If you have never been to Simonstown then I
suggest you make a plan to visit this secret town situated between the mountains
with magnificent views of the Giants of the Sea, our whales.

Drakensberg Cave Accommodation
Did you know that you can actually sleep in a cave while visiting the Drakensberg?
Yes you read correctly. You can book your cave for the night and experience the scenic beauty in a new way.
How awesome must that be to spend the night in a cave while listening to the crickets outside. Truly a once in a lifetime experience.

White Shark Projects
 |
| Great White Shark |
The White Shark Project came and paid us a visit. We learnt all about Shark Cage Diving and honestly I think I will be jumping into the cage if given the opportunity.
They offer magnificent opportunities to cage dive with the beasts of the sea.
Visit their website: www.whitesharkprojects.co.za
The reason it is called The Great White Shark is the white underbelly with the grey top.It is the perfect disguise as the white underbelly blends with the sky and the dark grey blends in with the rocks and water.

Did you know?
They can grow up to 6m (18ft). Can you imagine how huge that is?
The Great White Shark does not feed off humans. They mistake humans for Seals that's the reason once it bites, they do not continue to feed as we do not taste good to them.
The Great White Shark has a fingerprint? The Dorsal Fin is unique in each shark.
My honest opinion when it comes to Sharks, sure they scary and huge but it is a wild animal and should be treated as such.
