The living world of wild creatures in South Africa Summary
|
Discover a whole world in a country, where the natural beauty starts right
outside the city gates. Take yourself on the most unusual illustrated bush
tour of unforgettable experience. On this Safari you get to know the
universal attributes of a lion; come across a herd of wild baboons, being
armed with powerful canine teeth and wolf like jaws, where even the leopards
onslaught is less to be feared than the wild rage of an adult baboon. Watch
the spotted hyena, which is a cowardly animal. See the powerful buffaloes,
which are more than a match for the lions. Hear the loud blowing noise of the
black rhinoceros and freeze when it looks at you from a short distance. Contents: The Kalahari Desert - the home of wandering Bushman Bush intelligence – The Monarch of the forest Cautious as a cat – Lions leap on the back of a giraffe African forest – Elands, carried off in the jaws of lions Up the stream – disappearing crocodiles and hippopotamis Expeditions on foot - lions following our spoor Blazing fire - The cries of hyenas Riding a zebra – returning back to lodge Best time to travel to South Africa for safari tours is August and September, an ideal time, because winter means there was reduced foliage, allowing for easier viewing, and avoiding the heat in the prevalent hot summer. Escorted by the most experienced black game ranger and his team; driving through the Kalahari Desert, with its huge salt pans. From there our journey takes us to the Eastern Cape towards KwaZulu-Natal, through the tropical savannahs of Zululand. Passing the rainforest and heading up to the Transvaal, north to the Krüger National Park, where the big cats of prey are in there elements. To assume that every wild beast or bird is a sacred creature, peacefully dwelling in an earthly paradise, is a mistake. They have their wisdom and their folly, their joys and their sorrows, their trials and tribulations. Enjoy the wilderness and its inhabitants on an unusual African bush trip, where the boundary line between reality and dreamland is very easy to cross. About the Author: I had the pleasure of working in the airline and travel related businesses for over 20 years in South Africa, Europe and Asia. To sum up, I have always found that life is what you make of it, and have often proved the truth of the saying, “Adventures to the adventurous”. |
