Today we were supposed to get to Cape Town, So Africa!! Only to find out that it was too windy and rough to go into port so we had to wait. We just circled around the outside of the port for 26 hours!! My original safari to Kariega Game Resort was canceled because of the delay. I was so disappointed but I ended up finding another safari call Inverdoorn. We got to pet cheetahs while we were there. On our first safari, we boarded the 4x4 jeep and met out driver, "Delicious." On our safari we saw Springbok, blesbok, eland, kudu, lots of zebra, Wildebeest, a male rhino that was just laying on the ground and looked so sad, Black Mane "Barbary Cape" Lion, a female rhino and its baby and cheetahs. The coolest thing about the cheetahs was getting to see how fast they run! In the morning we had our second safari. This time we saw all three of the rhinos together, wildebeest, giraffes, more African gazelles and hippos in the water.
The next day I hiked Table Mountain. We made it up the mountain in about an hour and 20 minutes. It was a pretty tough hike. It was pretty much like climbing up stairs the whole time. But it was worth it. The view was amazing! You could see the whole port of cape town. At the top you are pretty much in the clouds. We took the cable car down.
In the afternoon I went to Cape Point and Boulders Beach to see penguins in the wild! They were so cute!
The last day I went Cage diving with Great White Sharks! This was the coolest thing I have ever done! The sharks would come right up to the cage. It was crazy. The water was so freezing! It was about 50 degrees! We were in wet suits which made it a little warmer but it was still cold.
