Sheldon and Geni's African Safari 2026
Today is: July 17
We woke up in: Cape Town We went to sleep in: Cape Town

Booking through Go2Africa so far has been great. The touring in Cape Town were all done by one person and he was great. Hopefully the rest of the trip goes this good. Finally got the esim working on my phone

Had a really nice day today. Only problem is that we started at 8, so had to get up early to be ready to go. We'll need a vacation after this vacation to rest. It was foggy and overcast but warmed up a bit during the day. Our tour guide, Sharif, was just a great host. We drove along a coastal drive that he said was like the Italian Amalfi Coast. We could see some of the coast, although not as pretty as a sunny day. Took a boat ride to Seal Island and lots of seals to see. At the Cape of Good Hope, we took a ride on the funicular to see lighthouse, but didn't climb to the top as the fog blocked the view. Went to Boulders Beach and watched the penguins hanging around. Last stop was Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, which is probably beautiful during their summer, however, it still was lovely to see. Tomorrow we rise early and take the plane to Kruger National Park for our safari.
