Nat

1. Shiduli Private Game Reserve – Everything about the place especially the people.
2. Lions – Coming within a metre of a lion is the scariest and bravest thing I’ve ever done. He really is king of all animals.
3. Food – Food, food and more food. The freshest fruit I’ve ever had, day after day.
4. Robben Island – A very calming experience visiting the prison that held Nelson Mandela for so long.
5. Cape Town – Not the city but the close proximity to beautiful beach boardwalks, exciting animals and day trips.
6. The lack of queues- No matter where we have been, the queues have been short.
7. The private tour experiences – It seems like every time we book in for a tour, no one else is on it.
8. St Lucia – A small piece of paradise with no security in sight.
9. The Townships of Cape Town – A fascinating set up for black African working class.
10. Markets – I love the little markets scattered around the country. I would love to fill a container with all the beautiful hand made goods.
