South Africa - things to do, if you travel to South Africa!

South Africa is interesting. If you thought your "South Africa - things to do" list to visit apartheid websites limited, would be diamond mines or watching World Cup stadiums, think again. You can pet a Cheetah, kiss a bouquet and see thousands of penguins in South Africa! And visit the "best city in the world". And visit one of the world's best wildlife parks. And you can dive with sharks to whitewater. List goes only on Und...gut...die! In this article I'm going to say, the craziest, weirdest and absolutely 'must' things to do in South Africa!
South Africa things to do in 1: walk with penguins.
Boulders Beach, Cape Peninsula, South Africa has more than 3,000 penguins, which can be observed up close! The first pair of the penguins was launched in 1982 and after here, in any case, none has been looking back. These interesting creatures are called also Jackass of penguins because the sound that you make, is like a donkey. :)
How to reach this ' penguins place?' You end up in Cape Town and take a 45 minutes by bus or taxi ride, Boulder's Beach, where the Penguins are hanging.
South Africa things to do in 2: pet a Cheetah. Yup - a true Cheetah!
Now have we always known South Africa is a treasure trove of wild animals. This is no secret. But Petting? In the vicinity of Cape Town, there is a place where you pet and pet Cheetah for a small fee! Cheetah Conservation takes a new meaning at this point called the Cheetah Outreach Center.
How to reach this place?That's the thing, it's so close to Cape Town - you can reach it by bus or car. No need for helicopter crash landings for these exotic experience!
South Africa things to do in 3: visit the world's best city...Cape Town!
Yes, Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It has a table mountain right next to its stunning waterfront. But who would have it, Sydney and San Francisco in the race for the "world's best city" to beat expected? But that's the! Acclaimed London newspaper Telegraph says his best.
Cape Town has a talent of lapping up award after award. Can you guess how many internationally prestigious recognitions and awards it has received in the past 2 years? Five? Ten? The correct answer is 22 "one of the world's 5 bluest sky destinations", "Africa's leading destination" and "City of the world's cleanest Beach" are three of these fascinating title.
What can you in Cape Town?
For starters, Cape Town has a magnificent table mountain right next to the sea. Now this is not common, and you can view of the mountain next bet is the sea stunning. It is a special mechanism for the mountain in a transparent - and enjoy views of the city as you climb.
The Malay quarter is another wonderful place. This village has houses colored red, blue, yellow, orange and what not! Cape Town's famous sea - the v and A waterfront is also known, not only for its scenic beauty, but also for his a shopper's paradise. In the vicinity of Cape Town, Robben is very Iceland, the island where the first Black President of South Africa Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for more than 15 years. What is even more interesting that a former prisoner it shows the place his own "apartheid experience" describes.
And of course, we do not have nor talked about the umpteen beaches have has Cape Town of. There are 3 "Blue Flag" beaches in and around Cape Town. This means that these beaches are some of the most beautiful and cleanest in the world. Visit as well, if you?
South Africa things to do in 4: horse riding, feed and even an ostrich Kiss!
In the South of South Africa, town is a place called Oudtshoorn CA. 4.5 hours from Cape. Oudtshoorn is the "Strauss capital of the world."
If you ever wanted to find out how life under ostriches feels - you get the answers you here that you want. For the beginning of an ostrich - luxury they can you but reasonable enough feed. Then get you a bouquet ride...Scary? Fascinating? You do it, and you are curious, what you just did! Then they tell you that the bouquet will you kiss. And it does. You are on cloud!
How can I get Oudtshoorn? As I said earlier, it is a 4.5 hour drive from Cape Town. It's also about a half hour of Knysna, a fascinating city in the South of South Africa.
South Africa things to do 5: go on a Safari in one of the world's best national parks
As regards fauna, there is second to the Kruger National Park no place in South Africa.
Can you guess how many species of mammals which has Kruger? 147. And how many species of birds? 517 And plants? 1982! The point is, these are the number of species not individuals. Wow.
No wonder that the Kruger Park has more species of mammals than any other Park in Africa. In fact, it had such a huge population of elephants in 1995, that elephants were given contraceptives, to reduce their birth!
The latest census reported that there are 1500 lions, 5000 giraffes, 900 leopards, 3000 hippopotamus and 7500 elephants in Kruger. Kruger Park is famous for the "big five" of the animal world: the lion, Leopard, elephant, rhino and the wild Buffalo. In a world where we each second day hearing "animal extinct" messages keep, Kruger is a breather.
So well, when you visit? :)
