AW: Change of plans (XP)

A few months ago we booked our honeymoon (12 days at a beautiful resort in Mexico) and then we cancelled that trip last week and booked a new one this week. I am SOOOOOO incredibly excited to announce that we're going on my DREAM TRIP for our HM: South Africa! We leave 2 days after the wedding and first we'll be spending 4 nights in Cape Town. 

On (full) Day 1, we'll have a full-day tour of the whole area including a boat ride out to Seal Island, Chapman's Drive (a road where there's a 200m drop on one side and a 200m rise on the other), Cape Point, Cape of Good Hope, and going to see penguins! I had no idea there were penguins in Africa, by the way. 

On day 2, we're going to hang out with some sharks. I will be in that cage and will likely shlt my pants or have a heart attack. Maybe both. But I bet it'll be awesome.

On day 3, we're going to a cheetah outreach where we can pet an adult cheetah and baby cheetahs! I can't even believe this is happening.


The next day we fly to Johannesburg and then to Hoedspruit for the safari leg of our trip. This has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. 

We're staying here:




It's a "luxury tent" and it's on stilts up in the air! I'm going to get in that bathtub and look out at the animals while I'm naked. 

We'll stay there for 3 nights and go on a total of 6 game drives/walks. I can't wait to see the lions. I think I'll probably cry when I do. 

So, that's it. There is no point to this post other than I'm a ridiculously excited AW :)

    <div>I wonder what would happen if I stuck one in my bag and brought it home. My cats would probably be terrified of it! </div>

  • Awesome! You will love it! If you're into history, you'll enjoy Robin's Island. If you are FI are the hiking type, hiking up table mountain is amazing (there's also a cable car that will take you up if you're not the hiking type). Be sure to each an ostrich steak while you're there....they're on pretty much every menu and absolutely delicious!

    I can't wait to hear about it and see pics!

    That's so awesome! Cape Town is by far my favorite destination of all the places I've been. My recommendation on the shark diving is take some sea sick meds before hand! I have never gotten sea sick before, but oh man I was so sick on the little boat, and so were a lot of the people I went with. I ended up not getting in the cage because I felt so sick. So here's the best picture I was able to get :)


    I also recommend at least taking the cable car to the top of table mountain if you aren't into hiking, the view is amazing! We actually saw someone base jump off the top while waiting to take the cable car down. Not sure if you will be able to see the people in the picture here?


    And a pic of the view and then the mountain itself:


    Still by far my favorite thing was the safari, you will love it :) I wish I could go back! I'm adding some pics from my safari too, it's fun to reminisce :)

  • Krikin: thanks so much for sharing your pictures! I'll definitely bring something for the seasickness, thanks for the reminder!



  • Sounds super exciting rdr! Looks like you'll have a blast. And please try to bring a baby cheetah home - it can be our honourary board pet lol ;)
