Off the beaten path at the top of Swartberg Pass, South Africa #Hiking
Capetown is the most beautiful African country I have ever visited. Not that I have visited many countries in Africa but if I have tons of cash I would buy a home here!

#nationalpark
The floral and fauna in this country is so varied and distinctive. I have never seen many species outside this country!

These are the wild flowers atop Table Mountain. If have time do visit the Botanical Garden as you will be amazed and in awe if you like flowers!

Loved it! Beautiful resort, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Interesting safari experience with plenty of time for photos and questions. It is a conservation reserve but felt like a safari. Saw 4 of the big 5 plus hippos and cheetahs
