			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1. Bring a mobile phone in case of emergency. If you are in any danger and you find yourself in a situation where you require immediate help, a mobile phone may be your only hope.</p>
<p>2. Use a well marked trail with good quality tracks or paths. Consult an up to date map to double check the route you intend to take: this will be essential if you accidentally get lost or need to alter your route due to inclement weather.</p>
<p>3. Take the appropriate footwear and clothing. Running shoes and trainers will wear quickly and are not suitable for braving steep mountains and rocky terrain. Proper walking boots are essential for longer hikes and appropriate clothing is also important, taking into account the temperature and the weather conditions.</p>
<p>4. Consider becoming a member of a local hiking club or organisation there you could join with more experienced hikers. They can offer valuable advice and insight into popular routes and those to avoid. This will also be a good opportunity to meet new people and make new friends.</p>
<p>5. Take note of the weather forecast and be prepared for sharp drops in temperature when hiking up high mountains on dry, sunny days. Wind speeds will generally be gale force on high ground during unsettled weather so it is essential to properly plan your hiking trips and to consider postponing if the weather forecast is poor. Be extra careful in wintry weather when icy paths and rocks can be especially hazardous.</p>
<p>6. You must be in a good physical condition to take on long and challenging hikes, especially those involving a significant degree of climbing and steep trails. Do not do not overwork yourself and take a long rest whenever you need to &#8211; hiking needn&#8217;t be a race! If you plan on hiking regularly, be sure to take rest days so that your body can fully recover from a long day of exercising.</p>
<p>7. Take plenty of water, regardless as to the time of year. Even in low temperatures the body can dehydrate after prolonged exercise. Also ensure you have plenty of sandwiches or pre-cooked meals stored in a lunch box &#8211; you will be burning hundreds of calories and will need the energy.</p>
<p>8. Do not overload yourself with baggage &#8211; only bring essentials. A heavy backpack will cause back and shoulder pain, which will slow you down. When travelling as a group, make sure that each person carries a fairly equal amount in line with their size.</p>
<p>9. Bring a well-stocked first aid kit which must have sufficient medical supplies for all members of the group. Even on smaller hiking trails, a first aid kit will prove invaluable when the nearest hospital is several hours away.</p>
<p>10. Hike in areas with which you are familiar in order to gain experience. You can subsequently venture into the unknown, having first had some experience of long-distance hiking. If you are heading to a foreign country, get to know the language &#8211; this will be essential in an emergency. It is also another reason to travel in groups, with the objective of ensuring that at least one member of the party has a workable grasp of the local language.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>The Alps</b><br />
This impressive mountain range is ideal for hikers who wish to revel in the many cultural delights of Europe whilst enjoying some outstanding scenery. The larger peaks such as Mont Blanc (the highest mountain in Western Europe) are particularly popular with experienced hikers but can also be dangerous due to the risk of avalanches and sudden changes in weather conditions. A popular resort is Chamonix (France) which is an ideal base from which to hike across the popular mountains of Aiguille de Bionnassay, Aiguille du Midi and Dmes de Miage.</p>
<p><b>Yosemite National Park</b><br />
The incredible scenery of Yosemite in California is perfect for all hikers, from beginners upwards. Experienced hikers can take a cable car up Half Dome or head up to the top of Yosemite Falls and enjoy phenomenal panoramic views from there.</p>
<p><b>Iceland</b><br />
Hot springs, dramatic caves and cliffs, impressive waterfalls and the unique, vibrant Nordic culture has given Iceland a reputation as one of the world&#8217;s premier hiking destinations. During the months of June and July, hikers can enjoy almost constant daylight and witness stunning near&#8217; sunsets lasting for hours around the midnight twilight, when the sun stays just above the horizon before rising again.</p>
<p><b>The Rocky Mountains, USA</b><br />
These mountain ranges are a haven for hikers. Camping holidays are hugely popular in this wilderness and there is no shortage of outstanding scenery, with clear blue lakes, snow capped peaks and beautiful forests attracting millions of tourists to the Rocky Mountains every year.</p>
<p><b>Gorges du Verdon, France</b><br />
This is the second largest canyon in the world (after the better known Grand Canyon) and undoubtedly one of the world&#8217;s great hiking Destinations. Explore this deep gorge with a boat ride along the Verdon River by starting off at the stunning mountain village of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie before finishing off in beautiful Castellane several days later.</p>
<p><b>New Zealand</b><br />
The colours and natural light of New Zealand are so distinctive to these islands that New Zealand has sometimes been described as the world&#8217;s best country for hiking. The dramatic mountains, rivers, lakes, volcanoes and marvellous clean beaches are popular with hikers from around the globe, particularly British tourists.</p>
<p><b>Blue Mountains, Australia</b><br />
Just a short drive from the city of Sydney, the Blue Mountains contain exceptional rock formations and caves, such as the Three Sisters and Jenolan Cave and beautiful waterfalls including the Wentworth Falls and Katoomba Falls.</p>
<p><b>South Africa</b><br />
The view of Table Mountain is one of the finest in Africa and is relatively easy to reach. Deep in the rural wilderness of this country there are many hiking routes and organisations that provide appropriate safety equipment and resources. The scenery here is much greener and more temperate in its appearance than that of the rest of the continent.</p>
<p><b>Norway</b><br />
Dramatic fjords, a rugged coastline and magnificent mountain walks make Norway a premier destination for hikers during the spring and summer in particular. The very long days between May and July allow even more time to enjoy the wonderful scenery here.</p>
<p><b>The Amazon rainforest</b><br />
This is a unique destination for hiking, with its superb range of wildlife and stunning tropical plants. A paradise for nature lovers and also ideal for those who don&#8217;t mind the high humidity and consistently high temperatures.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now that winter has left most of the country, it is time for camping gear to be aired out and hiking shoes to be broken in, and travel activities for kids becomes a hot topic for parents who are desperate to keep their children happy on their trip this summer.  There are always the old classics like I Spy and singing songs, but these can get old quickly and even when the children are excited to do these games at first, they probably will not want to do them for the duration of the trip.  It is important that you put as much thought into kids travel activities as you do other aspect of the trip, like packing and making reservations.  You do not want your vacation to start off bad with a terrible trip before you even arrive at your destination.  The key to successfully finding travel activities for kids is to think of things that the children enjoy, not so much what you enjoy.</p>
<p>You may or may not be into the whole electronic age, but the truth of the matter is that electronics entertain.  There are so many different travel activities for kids that are electronic, from the cheap little virtual pets to the more expensive portable hand held gaming systems.  There are even electronic versions of classic games like Sorry!, Uno! and Battleship.  These are popular for trips because the games can be played without having to worry about losing cards or small pieces, and you do not have to worry about the awkwardness of holding a game board on anyones lap.  There are dozens of electronic travel activities for kids such as these.</p>
<p>It is a good idea to change up what you bring with you for the children, too.  Do not bring one electronic item and expect that to hold them for a 6 hour car ride!  You can always play traditional games like the I Spy game, where one person states, I spy something (red) and the other players have to guess what it is the person is looking at.  There is also the alphabet game (many different versions, too) where you start with the letter A, claiming I went on vacation and I brought an (apple) with me.  The next person continues, repeating the A word and introducing an item that begins with B (barn).  The next person takes his turn, stating they went on vacation and brought with them an apple, a barn, and a cat.  It keeps going with each person taking his turn until you have made it through the entire alphabet.  The best thing for parents of course is that these travel activities for kids are free!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fresh Hotels in Orlando</p>
<p>Orlando, being a tourist town, never runs out of new accommodations to entice the everyday traveler.  Its main tourist getaway, International Drive, is a prime spot for popular accommodations and attractions.  International Drive is the Orlando equal of Las Vegas Strip with most of the top-rate restaurants, shopping centers, parks and attractions conveniently placed in its 10-kilometer territory.  The I-Drive is considered as the Tourism Corridor of Orlando.  Coming in late 2010 is another promising hotel, the Peabody Orlando, an intimate dwelling fit for those who wish to have some outdoor action with their hiking trails and an English garden to stroll around in.  The Rosen Plaza Hotel also recently renovated most of their common room amenities and had all their beds, mattresses and linens changed.  The place has also always been ideal to organizations holding conventions with over 20 meeting areas and 2 major ballrooms.  If a vacation is in mind in the near future, choose from the lavish offerings at International Drive.  </p>
<p>Classiness at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Orlando</p>
<p>Negating the popular belief, one doesnt have to break the bank in order to have a pleasant stay at the Hyatt.  The Hyatt is conveniently located in Central Florida with a great view of the State in full bloom.  Staying at the Hyatt will give one a privilege of seeing a panoramic view of beautiful gardens, trees, the sparkling city and a view of the lake.  Baths are a luxurious pleasure at the Hyatt with their marble Portico bathrooms.  The Hyatt also has several in-house activities throughout the year so the visitor will never be bored even when simply just staying indoors.  Amenities like their tennis courts, a golf course or sailing expeditions down the lake as well as a full service Orlando Spa and salon are enough to keep everyone busy during their stay.  Hyatt also has in most of their bedrooms the famous Heavenly Beds for a visitors fitful sleep.  Staying at the Hyatt can be one of the most unforgettable experiences for the vacationer and his loved ones.  </p>
<p>Great Attractions at Orlando</p>
<p>Being the city of magic, Orlando continually entices local and foreign tourists out there to try their larger-than-life attractions over and over again.  Their theme park attractions seem to have a life of their own, impressive with the technology rendered in them.  Orlando is the apex of major theme parks like Disneyworld, Seaworld, Universal Studios, Discovery Cove, Disneys Magic Kingdom and Ron Jon Surfpark.  For those who dont want the hassle of having to transport the whole family in and out of the park over and over again, nearby hotels are the most reasonable ways to save on time and money.  Affordable hotels near Disneyworld include Radisson, Seralago, Best Western, Hawthorn Suites and Holiday Inn.  For Universal Studios, hotels near the park are Days Inn, Fairfield Inn, Hampton Inn, Four Points Orlando and Best Western Universal.  For greater convenience, there are so many in-house hotels in the theme parks although these will probably be a little more expensive compared to those outside.  Choose the right one as a comfortable night is needed for the fun-filled days ahead in Orlandos magical theme parks!</p>
<p>Relief at the Point Orlando Resort </p>
<p>From its use of browns and beiges, one can tell that The Point Orlando is really built for relaxation.  The place is meant to become a tropical paradise except that it has all the conveniences of a boutique hotel.  Big families or those who want to save will like their kitchen which has all the needed utensils and accessories like a dryer and washer.  Parents and children can also get their much needed private time by checking in interconnecting apartments which can be open and closed depending on preference.  Moms can tell when it really is a vacation when theres a maid service picking up after them and this can be enhanced by requesting for a full maintenance service for a small fee.  Its location is also ideal because its very near most major destinations in Orlando like its theme parks and is just a walking distance away.  Still, The Point also offers complimentary shuttle bus service to these places twice a day.  The Point Orlando is a nice respite from all of Orlandos activities and should be considered when looking for accommodation in Orlando.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mt Buller accommodation is a haven for snow sports enthusiasts. Mount Buller is a town in Victoria, Australia. It is situated about 208 kilometers from Melbourne. The otherwise sparsely populated area (according to 2006 census, there were just 251 people living there) gets crowded in winters to experience the beauty of the snow-clad mountains. The ski season opens in early June and closes in late September. </p>
<p>Sight-Seeing</p>
<p>The town might be small, yet Mt Buller accommodation has an impressive line-up of over 7,000 beds. You can find a cinema, gym, and sports hall at the accommodation. National Alpine museum is also located in Mt Buller. There is around 8-0km-long groomed trail spread over more than 300 hectares. You can also find 9km of cross country trails accessible from the village. Other than skiing and snowboarding, one can trek the mountain or admire the scenic beauty. Mountain biking, downhill, and cross country are other popular activities to do there. </p>
<p>Staying There</p>
<p>The economy is mostly dependent on tourism. Tourists can choose from luxurious hotels, private lodges, and modern apartments. Mt Buller accommodation is unique in the sense that you can find ski-in and ski-out facilities. This means that as soon as you step out of your room, you can step right onto snow. Some of the accommodations offer free stay for kids accompanied by two adults during June and September. </p>
<p>The properties that display the logo &#8216;Spring is Priceless&#8217; in September allow the tourists to book a five-night stay (Sunday to Thursday) at just half the price offered during the peak season.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Beaches<br />
From KwaZulu-Natal to the Wild Coast, from the Eastern Cape to the West Coast, South Africa boasts more than 3 000km of coastline. Pristine beaches, fishing communities, golf estates, luxury hotels and guest-houses dot the landscape as you explore the marine wonderland that is South Africa.</p>
<p>Bird Tours<br />
With nearly a thousand bird species, no wonder South Africa has become one of the Worlds bird hot spots. Bunji Jumping<br />
Bloukrans River Bridge &#8211; IT IS OFFICIAL &#8211; You can now bungi-jump the highest commercial bungi jump in the world, usurping the position previously held by Vic Falls. The bridge is 216 m high but the jump is only about 160 m. You jump from the arch support of the bridge, not from the road and getting there and back is an experience in itself. After the jump you are winched back up to the bridge.</p>
<p>Cango Caves<br />
The Cango Caves lie in the Swartberg Mountain Range in a limestone belt measuring 1,5km in width and almost 16km in length. The present tourist route extends for 1,2km into the cave, with a further 4,1km being kept closed to the public for conservation reasons. Cango Wildlife Ranch<br />
The Cango Wildlife Ranch is situated just outside Oudtshoorn in the Little Karoo, and since its inception in 1977 it has grown to become one of the largest tourist attractions of the region. In 1988 the Ranch developed a facility known as Cheetahland, within its boarders, in an effort to promote its goal of making the public aware of endangered species. This unique facility is home to a large variety of big cats, which can be viewed from an elevated &#8220;catwalk&#8221; providing an uninhibited view of these magnificent creatures. Cape of Good Hope Reserve<br />
Located at the southern most tip of the peninsula is the nature reserve, with fantastic panoramic views of the Cape of Good Hope from the viewing area, reached by cable car. The area has a dry and desolate look but this is deceptive as more than half the flowering plants of the peninsula, like the protea grow here. The reserve is also home to zebra, baboon, ostrich and eland. En route from Cape Town, the penguin colony at Boulder&#8217;s Bay is worth stopping for as is Simon&#8217;s Town a naval town and the country&#8217;s third oldest European settlement. Cape Town<br />
Cape Town is the most fabulously diverse and vibrant city, with great natural beauty, fascinating architecture, great restaurants, bars and nightlife. Whether you hike to the top or take the cable car, the views from Table Mountain are astounding. See the famous &#8216;dassies (rock rabbits) scampering aound the rocks and also the imposing Lion&#8217;s Head and Devil&#8217;s Peak which together with Table Mountain form the Cape Peninsula. Take a ferry from the V &#038; A Waterfront to Robben Island to see the tiny cell which held Nelson Mandela for almost three decades. Cape Winelands<br />
Just an hour&#8217;s drive from Cape Town are the beautiful towns of Stellenbosch, Paarl, Franschhoek and Constancia in the heart of the wine producing area. Visit some of the beautiful wine estates and taste some of the best wines in the world. Cradle of Humankind<br />
Declared a World Heritage Site, the Cradle of Humankind west of Johannesburg includes, among its numerous sites, the Sterkfontein Caves, where anthropologist Dr Robert Broom discovered the skull of Mrs. Ples, a three-million year-old hominid, in 1936. At the time she was thought to be the closest evidence of the &#8220;missing link&#8221; to be found.</p>
<p>Drakensberg Mountains<br />
Recently proclaimed a World Heritage Site the mighty Drakensberg Mountains offer panoramic views of towering peaks, waterfalls and sparkling rock pools. Prime sites include Cathedral Peak, Monks Cowl, Champagne Castle, Giant&#8217;s Castle, Cathkin Peak and the geological phenomenon of the Drakensberg Ampitheatre, all of which are scattered across this majestic range. One of the most breath taking sights is Tugela Falls where the river rushes for over a mile over sheer cliffs and cascades through a dramatic gorge to the valley floor. Durban<br />
Durban is a holiday makers paradise with a sub tropical climate and carnival atmosphere. The amusement area is known as the Golden Mile which actually stretches for 4 miles and offers endless attractions and entertainment. There is a rapidly expanding harbour-front area to explore as well as the vibrant Victoria Street Market at the centre of Durban&#8217;s Indian community. Garden Route<br />
Whether approached from Cape Town or from Port Elizabeth, in the east, the Garden Route holds visitors spellbound with its abundance of rivers, spectacular mountain passes, lagoons, lakes, beaches and birdlife.The highlights of this amazing area are too numerous to mention but a few include Tsitskamma National Park- a area of ancient forest with hiking trails, and a long coastal plateau which stretches five kilometres out to sea. The park is alive with fynbos, wild orchids, otters, baboons small buck and over 280 bird species.<br />
The Storms River area offers a host of activities from abseling, canopy walking, hiking and black water tubing. With its sucession of bays, white sandy beaches, spectacular cliffs and tidal pools it is not suprising that some of the premier coastal resorts are along the Garden Route. Greater St Lucia Wetland Park<br />
On the northern coast of KwaZulu-Natal this massive park has recently been declared a World Heritage Site. Extending over 680 acres of wilderness there are at least five different ecosystems represented including a vast lake, coral reefs, a sub tropical wilderness, reed covered islands swamps and towering dunes. With such diverse ecology the park is home to all forms of wildlife including 6000 white pelicans, 800 hippos, 1200 crocodiles as well as turtles, flamingos, shark, whales and dolphins. The Greater St Lucia Wetlands lie 136 miles north of Durban. Hermanus<br />
The local whale crier of Hermanus, rings his bell to alert people that the whales have arrived. From May/June through to November these massive and fascinating creatures come close to the shore offering an exhilarating sight. Highgate Ostrich farm<br />
Highgate, established almost 100 years ago by the Hooper family, is a large Ostrich Farming concern producing primarily feathers and ostrich by-products. Highgate opened to the public in 1938 and since then many thousands of visitors from all over the world have been entertained on the establishment.</p>
<p>Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Park<br />
The Hluhluwe and Umfolozi reserves were founded in 1895 and are the oldest such sanctuaries in Africa. It was here that the world- acclaimed Operation Rhino was introduced during the 1960s, successfully capturing and relocating white rhino to havens within South Africa and abroad. As a result, this country&#8217;s white rhino population is now 12 times the 1960 count of 500. Today a single park, Hluhluwe-Umfolozi is focusing its efforts on saving the endangered black rhino, whose number in Africa has dwindled from 14 000 to a pitiful 2 550 in the past decade. You&#8217;ll find at least a fifth of the world&#8217;s black and white rhino population here. Hout Bay<br />
Hout Bay is a charming fishing village overlooked by majestic mountains, it combines the sophistication of the Riviera with the rugged beauty of Africa. As well as being a tranquil haven to relax or swim there are numerous restaurants &#038; cosy pubs.Visit THE WORLD OF BIRDS or hop on to a cruise boat out of the harbour to see Seal Island &#038; the bird life on offer. The famous Fish on the Rocks, English Fish &#038; Chips, at the end of the harbour boasts the best calamari, Snoek &#038; chips in Cape Town. Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens<br />
Kirstenbosch was established in 1913 to promote &#038; conserve the indigenous flora of southern Africa. Situated on the eastern slopes of Table Mountain, the estate covers 528 hectares and includes both a cultivated garden and nature reserve. There are several trails through natural forests &#038; access to Table Mountain is possible via marked routes up, Skeleton Gorge &#038; Nursery ravine. The restaurant is open daily, as well as a book &#038; curio shop to browse through. Every Sunday from December to March the Gardens host Summer Sunset Concerts, featuring a wide variety of music both local &#038; classical. Take along a picnic as this is something no visitor to the Cape should miss. Kruger National Park<br />
Covering an area of nearly five million acres, the Kruger National Park is the largest reserve in South Africa and home to an amazing variety of animals including the &#8216;big five&#8217;- lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo. Whether staying in the park in a private reserve or just close by, the best way to explore is on a dawn or dusk game drive with an experienced ranger who impart their knowledge and experience. Safaris in an open topped jeep, or on foot can afford amazing close up views of the worlds greatest variety of wildlife. The park is approximately 220 miles from Johannesburg and can be reached by scheduled flights, chartered planes into the private reserves or by road. Madikwe Game Reserve<br />
As South Africa&#8217;s fourth largest game reserve, Madikwe is home to 31 species of some 10,000 animals including the &#8216;big five&#8217;, wild dog, white and black rhino, hyena and cheetah. The area comprises rocky ravines, mountain plateaux, open grassland, savannas and riverine forests. The malaria free reserve is just 4 miles south of the Botswana boarder and about a four hour drive north of Johannesburg. Marakele National Park<br />
The Marakele National Park lies in the heart of the Waterberg Mountains and has an impressive variety of wildlife due to its location in the zone between the dry western and moister eastern regions of South Africa. The park is characterised by contrasting majestic mountain landscapes, grass clad rolling hills and deep valleys. Rare finds of yellow wood and cedar trees, 16 foot high cycads and tree ferns, are some of the plant species found here. All the large game species from elephant and rhino to the big cats as well as an amazing variety of birds, including the endangered Cape vultures are to be found in the park. The malaria free reserve is 155 miles north of Johannesberg. Midlands Meander<br />
Only an hours drive west of Durban is the well sign posted arts and crafts route known as the Midlands Meander. With over 100 places to visit, ranging art studios to rustic pubs. Visit the Natal Railway Museum, a magnet for steam enthusiasts, Midmar Dam a centre for watersports or the area of Dargle, for super flyfishing. Namaqualand<br />
Every Spring (August to September), the Northern Cape comes alive with vast fields of daisies in a natural splash of vivid colour. Fed by winter rains, the flower grounds of Namaqualand are a photographer&#8217;s delight. Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe<br />
The Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe is the last steam hauled scheduled passenger train operating in Southern Africa and runs daily between George and Knysna. The route of the Choo-Tjoe is from George, via Victoria Bay, Wilderness, Sedgefield and Goukamma to Knysna and encompasses some of the most spectacular scenery in South Africa in the heart of the Garden Route Lake District.</p>
<p>Pilanesberg National Park<br />
The park offers a malaria free game experience with over 8000 large animals, including the &#8216;big five&#8217; and over 350 species of birds. The game sanctuary is covered with grasslands and granite outcrops fashioned from a desolate volcanic crater in the late seventies when long vanished wildlife was re introduced. Just 123 miles from Johannesburg close to the Sun City Resort, Pilansberg can be reached by road or flights into Sun City. Port Elizabeth<br />
The gateway to the Garden Route, is the &#8216;Friendly City&#8217; of Port Elizabeth. Founded in 1820 when some 4000 British families settled here to start a new life, the city is replete with their graceful period houses. With miles of wide sandy beaches it is a magnet for swimmers, surfers and sailors.</p>
<p>Robben Island<br />
A short cruise from Cape Town &#8217;s V&#038;A Waterfront by ferry, this legendary island is a must-see on any newcomer&#8217;s itinerary. This is where Nelson Mandela and his comrades were imprisoned for decades during the Apartheid era. Former inmates will take you on an insightful tour of the prison grounds. This historical island is now a World Heritage Site and a proclaimed nature conservation area. Shark Diving<br />
South Africa was one of the first Countries Worldwide to make the Great White a protected species. We can offer you the chance to get extremely close to these awesome animals. You can go on a Shark dive or alternatively just view them from the safety of the boat.</p>
<p>Soweto<br />
Just South of Johannesburg lies Soweto &#8211; the largest of South Africa &#8217;s &#8220;townships&#8221;. This vibrant city is home to some 2 million people and a number of historical sights. A typical visit to Soweto includes a stop at a traditional shebeen (drinking hall), where you can savor local beer, food and hospitality, as well as a visit to the homes where Nobel laureates Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu once lived.</p>
<p>Table Mountain<br />
Over the centuries it has become one of South Africa&#8217;s most famous landmarks. The steep cliffs and rocky outcrops of the mountain play home to a number of plants and animals. The mountain is home to approximately 1470 species of plants. Take a guided walk on one of the many routes or simply ride the cable car to the top &#8211; it will be one of your lasting memories of SA.</p>
<p>The Addo Elephant National Park<br />
Deep within the shadows of the dense valley of the Sundays River Region, lies the Addo Elephant Park. It is a sanctuary for over 200 elephants who belong to an isolated gene pool, and are therefore smaller than other African elephant, with a reddish hue. The area is home to the unique flightless dung beatle found almost exclusively in Addo, and given right of way on the roads in the park. The Baxter Theatre<br />
The Baxter is a World Class South African theatre situated in Rondebosch at the foot of Devils Peak. The exciting and diverse artistic programme ranges from celebrated South African works to international productions. Every year more than 350,000 people watch more than 1000 performances at this popular theatre. Two Oceans Aquarium<br />
What makes the Two Oceans Aquarium so diverse is the location. It is here that the cold water of the Atlantic meets the warmer Indian Ocean. Few places in the world are in a more favourable position to feature the flora and fauna of oceans so different in temperature and the life they support. The construction and outstanding success of the Victoria &#038; Alfred Waterfront was the catalyst in reawakening this dream of an Aquarium. Victoria &#038; Alfred Waterfront<br />
The Waterfront Company was formed in 1988 with a mandate to develop the historic harbour as a mixed use area, focusing on tourism and commerce with the continuing operation of the working harbour. Besides banks, shops, restaurants &#038; cinemas the waterfront provides a variety of entertainment for the whole family. Visit the Two Oceans aquarium, Cyber world &#038; the S.A. Maritime Museum, Scratch Patch &#038; craft markets. If that is not enough you can stroll &#038; enjoy the spectacle of buskers, street entertainers &#038; musicians or enjoy the lively music &#038; acts at the Amphitheatre. Helicopter trips, leisure boat trips as well as trips to Robben Island run from here. White Water Rafting<br />
The Breede River (Western Cape) offers a weekend breakaway that is as good as a holiday. Surrounded by its tranquil beauty, this river is an exciting, yet safe rafting adventure. The trip requires no experience and the whole family is welcome to participate.</p>
<p>Zulu Battlefields<br />
Relive the horror of some of the most bloody battles fought between the British and Zulu warriors. Isandlwana, where British troops were massacred by the Zulu army and Rorke&#8217;s Drift where a handful of British soldiers held a mighty Zulu regiment at bay. The battles are brought vividly to life by historians and expert guides. Close to the town of Dundee and about 175 miles from Durban. AND IN CLOSING&#8230;<br />
