What we see as the summit of Table Mountain was actually once the bottom of a valley floor. The mountain owes its relative flatness at the summit to the fact that it is a syncline mountain — that is, what we see as the summit of Table Mountain was actually once the bottom of a valley floor, likely worn away by the sea.

Save me a seat on the beach
Before sunset
Life is a wave
Love is the shore
I'm blessed for today
Can't ask for more.

One of the unique and intriguing wildlife species that you will see in the Kruger National Park.

The baboon is a large primate with a dog-like face and big, prominent canines. Baboons are omnivorous, feeding on lizards, birds and their eggs. They will often kill the new borns' of some antelope and even leopard cubs.

The Chacma Baboon feeds on just about every part of a tree. They eat grass, seeds, rhizomes, berries, mushrooms, fruit, eggs and small animal-like insects, earth worms, birds, lizards, and less occasionally they will kill and eat scrub hares and baby Impalas.

Great photo by who captioned his photo “The Thinking Baboon”.

Paarl is particularly known for its mountain or "Paarl Rock". The huge granite rock is formed by three rounded outcrops that make up Paarl Mountain and is the second largest granite outcrop in the world and forms part of the Nature Reserve.

The name ‘Paarl’ in Dutch means "a pearl", and was derived from the fact that the granite rocks which crown the hillside above it glisten after a rainfall like pearls.

The vines might be resting, but winter in the Cape is perfect for wine tasting. Today we are on the Durbanville Valley Wine Route at . Diemersdal Wines represent the perfect expression of Durbanville’s distinct terroir; the sum of the complex interaction between topogrphy, soil structure and climate.

Diemersdal lies on the cool slopes of the Dorstberg. It’s history dates back as far as 1698, to the time of Simon van der Stel and the early beginnings of South African winemaking.
