South Africa.My favourite tourist destination of the globe.Strange,or perhaps "unsound" to many who are crouch potatos burning their two month vacation on mundane matters.
I,on the contrary,was fortunate enough to recieve free tickets via Johannesburg from my Aunt who works for SIA.Together as a big external family, we set off to the land of the "green".
To our utter amazement,South Africa which was ruled by the British,was a blessed place in which the discovery of gold and diamond were excavated.In fact the upcoming inaugral world cup 2010 would be hosted here.
Admist all of that,what I really love most about this place compared to the rest of the world is their safari.We mounted on the open-air jeep and set off with a well knowledge ranger,Joe,as he skillfully manevour the jeep around the safari to scout for the "Big Five":Rhinoceros,Buffalo,Elephant,Leopard and Lion.Sadly,lady luck was simply not with us ,as we only manage to locate the Lion and the Rhinoceros.The game drive which i experience was probably the closet i will ever get with nature.
Another tourist spot worthwhile to explore is the table mountain.The white clouds shrouded around the mountain most of the time looked like a tablecloth.It was this particular reason that it was named table mountain.
South Africa, where the two majestic ocean collides gives you the continous sense of excitement to travel.South Africa is indeed my place of liking.
