Experiences on the cape point reserve excursion

The excursion to the Cape point nature reserve was one of the most amazing experiences of my life as the cape point nature reserve is known as one of most interesting places in Africa. The cape point  nature  reserve offers many interesting activities like things that can be seen. For instance the Beacon of hope which is situated at the junction of two of the earth's most contracting water masses-the cold Benguela current on the West coast and the warm Agulhas current on the East coast, the cape of good hope is popularly perceived as the meeting point of the  two oceans which are Indian and the Atlantic ocean.The difference between the two oceans can be clearly identified in the top where the light house is situated. Where the light house is situated its actually a place on top and it is a very windy place  but from there you are able to spot the difference between the two oceans

The two oceans meeting at the cape point are not the only aspects that make the place to be one of the most fascinating  places on the map but because of the other features that it is consist  like the organisms that can be found there,like the local floras which can be found there.The cape of good hope is an integral part of the cape floristis kingdom,the smallest but richest of the world's six florist kingdom.It has been shown that it is composed of 1100 species of indigenous of which a number are endemic.

This was an amazing experience that one can share with the people around him/her because the stuff seen there is not what can be seen in our everyday life,and it also shows the important aspects why conservation is important ,and this made me realize that if conservation was taken into consideration from ancient time, then i might have  been able to see some animals that do not exist now. This enlightened me to keep in consideration that for our future generations tho see the beauty of our country then conservation should be taken as our number one priority. Fishing is good along the coast but the unpredictable swells make angling from the rocks very dangerous. Over the years scores of fishermen have been swept to their deaths from the rocky platforms by freak waves. False Bay, which opens to the east and north of Cape Point, is the location of the well-known naval port of Simon's Town. The bay is also famous - or infamous - for its great white sharks, which hunt the Cape Fur Seals that live in the area.  The Cape Floral Region is one of the richest areas for plants in the world – it is home to nearly 20% of Africa’s flora.

Plan a picnic in the park or on the beach, hike or mountain bike, have lunch in the upmarket Two Oceans Restaurant (bookings essential; +27 (0)21 780 9200) high above the crashing waves of False Bay, or simply catch The Flying Dutchman funicular to some superb lookout points over the Atlantic Ocean.

Apart from the spectacular view, you’ll be able to see the most powerful lighthouse on the South African coast, which helps guide ships safely through perilous waters that have seen to the end of many a vessel.
