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!

8.2/10 Very Good! (179 reviews)
The rooms are nothing as displayed on the website. The front desk staff are not transparent on their policies- we were not told that ATV rides were at a cost and only charged at checkout. For the prices they barely have any toiletries in the shower- not even and iron. The only reason reason I didn’t ...

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

Our room - a tent was exactly what we hope for. In photos you could look from the deck across water & to the ostriches - we didn’t see a single one for the duration of our stay. We booked dinner, it was inedible.
