An amazing weekend in Cape Town, South Africa

I had to be in South Africa for two weeks for work so I decided to spend the weekend in Cape Town - great decison! Cape Town is AMAZING! It is now one of my top 10 favorite places....I can't wait to go back. Since I had a quick trip, I wanted to do as much as possible. For the first day, I took an organized tour with Bike and Saddle out of Cape Town. Great tour group that picked me up from the Hilton and took me about 2 hr north into South Africa. From here we did a 20k cycle safari around a private reserve. We saw zebras, wildebeest, springbok (and not the rugby team). It was a great way to spend a morning. The views from the bike was amazing. The snow covered mountain and the wildlife running by...the 20k was a little tough with hills and rough terrain but the views made me forget the workout!

Then after a great lunch, I went on a game drive to see the lions and rhinos. For this I had to ditch the bike and get in the much safer jeep. What a great way to see the animals up close. Though not as amazing as the Seregenti - the animals are wild there and not within a reserve. But it was a close second!
