Not until recently have I learned I get really, really seasick. I was super nervous about the shark cage dive, not because of the shark, but I wasn’t entirely sure how I’d handle the sea. I’d only ever been really seasick one time before in Mexico about ten months before our trip to South Africa, but figured it was a result of a bit too much tequila the night before….
*Watch the video of our time at Cape of Good Hope at the bottom of this post!

We saw so many different animals from beautiful cheetahs to quirky warthogs to the kingfisher bird to colorful skinks. Our first four…

This list could go on for a long time, so I’ll stop there for now. I’ve got so many places on my list of must-eat-here and must-go-see-that. The list that’s getting a little out of hand an the moment is my packing list….
