Travel idea #1: South African Safari

When you go to South Africa, you must go on an African Safari. You can’t leave there without going to one. Experience wildlife in their natural habitat. You can’t see them living their everyday life like this any place else. It will be worth the trip. Make sure you have your camera handy as you will get some great shots of these animals!

Travel idea #4: Go swimming with the sharks

Of course, sharks are the most feared animal underwater in the sea. However, they are interesting and beautiful animals. You can swim with them in a cage or if you are feeling a bit bolder, you can swim with them without a cage. However, you will only be tiger and bull sharks which is a lot safer to swim around than a great white. Definitely an unforgettable adventure.

You can take a cable car to the top of the mountain to enjoy the view – if the weather isn’t too permitting for a hike.
