North of Cape Town you
will find the beautiful Ced-
erberg Mountains, a rug-
ged, hikers paradise where
I spent the bulk of my time.
Remote and isolated, life is
hard and unforgiving and
the heightening of your
senses contributes, I think,
to energy one feels while
you are there. The feeling
that you have to survive by
your wits brings out the
resourcefulness of people
and makes you stretch
yourself to the limit. People
are amazingly resourceful
here and extremely hard-
working. They think little of
the everyday hardships
they face and simply have a
"get it
done" attitude. Sissies do
not do well here.
On the east coast there
are many beautiful beaches
and tourist destinations. It
is there that you will find
Kruger National Park, a
mecca of the wild animals
we think of as being synon-
ymous with Africa: lion,
giraffe, eland, kudu, hippo,
zebra, wildebeest, spring-
bok, warthog, meerkat, the
list goes on and on.
It is a world-class conser-
vation area and famous for
its wild animal safaris.
Also on the east is Addo
elephant park. What an
amazing sight to see herds
of 30 or 40 elephants roam-
ing freely in their natural
environment. Other than
baboons (who are similar
to our racoons or coyotes in
that they have adapted
a little too well to human
co -habitation) most wild
animals in South Africa are
contained to the parks or
private game preserves.You
don't find them wandering
around the countryside
which is probably a good
thing.
There is no shortage of
things to do and see in
South Africa. Tourism is a
major industry and I would
encourage each of you to
put South Africa on your
bucket list.
You are well advised to
go through one of the many
excellent tour companies
available as the distances
you must cover are vast and
you don't want to waste
your time fumbling around.
You need to have a highly
organized plan with people
who know how to get things
done there. It is not like
getting things
done in North America.
While each person will
take away their own experi-
ences from this country on
the other side of the world,
there is one thing that I
guarantee will be common
to everyone. It will change
your life! Whether it is mak-
ing you appreciate what we
have at home, awakening
some primal being within
you or just experiencing
another culture so vastly
different from our own,
there is one thing for cer-
tain you will come back a
different person and you
will never look at things the
same way again.
And after all, isn't that
what travel is all about?
