Some more Wilderness : Zimbabwe & SA

Our shortest stay in a country ever would have to be Zimbabwe - just 2 days. Only purpose was to see the gr8 Victoria Falls & those were lovely. It is said that falls are at its peak from May to September but you can't see much of the falls then due to the mist & spray created by the thunderous falls. October to February brings low water levels but one can actually see the falls. Am sure the falls would be a lovely sight to see any time of the year.

After Zimbabwe we headed back to South Africa to play with the cubs. Truly an amazing experience !! We got to play with 2 of the cubs & also feed some giraffes. They are so cute. Also got to see more lions & other wild animals. I would recommend the Lion Park as a must go!! place for anyone visiting Johannesburg or Zimbabwe. Its something you would not get to anywhere else ...!!

Land of Contrast : South Africa

South Africa is a gorgeous country....it has everything from mountains to beaches.... oceans to lagoons..... & penguins to lions. While our stay here we got to see a wide array of natural landscape. Till date I thought Switzerland was the most beautiful as it has a wide green landscape but now I can say SA is equally good.

Here we visited the sites of Table Mountain, which is located right in the middle of the city or may be the city of Cape Town was developed around it as it's said that the Table Mountain is 6 times older than the Himalayas. Took hikes up the Cape Point & Cape of Good Hope & got to see the merge of the Indian & Atlantic oceans. During our stay at Knysna, which is a lagoon town, Vinay did the bungee jumping while I stayed at bay ;) Here we also saw the mouth of Storm river meeting with the Atlantic . The most amazing thing for me was to see the oceans right next to the mountains. Simply laying by the shore & watch the waves splash against the rocks felt so blissful . Luckily we also got to see whales & dolphins right by the shore.

I would definitely like to come back to the country someday !!!
