Table Mountain

Table Mountain

Table Mountain was another experience in Cape Town that is very dependent on the weather. We were lucky again with our weather and got a beautiful day to ride the cable car to the top of the mountain.

In 2011, Table Mountain was voted one of the 7 Wonders of Nature.





It truly is an amazing feature in the heart of Cape Town. Having the mountain as the background behind all the buildings and development of Cape Town is really a unique sight.

The cable cars that you take to ride up the mountain can carry up to 65 people, and have a rotating floor so that you can see all the different angles of the view as you ride to the top. The base of the cable cars is balanced by built in water tanks that also bring fresh water up the mountain to the restaurant at the top.


The beautiful flora that grows on the mountain is part of the smallest floral kingdom in the world called the Cape Floral Kingdom. It has over 8,500 distinct species.


The view from the top is amazing.

School Visit in Cape Town

School visit in Cape Town We visited a secondary school when we were in Cape Town called Cosat. It is a high school that has grades 9-12, and its primary focuses are Mathematics, Science and Technology.   We were told it is the only school in South Africa with a focus on Information Technology. Students are either selected because of high achievement to attend the school or take a placement test to get in.   There are about 560 students that are currently attending the school. The school was founded in 1999, and by 2013, 100% of the students passed the Metric test for university.   The last few school years their highest score has been 96%.   They are classified as a Model school by the South African government and because of this all the students will be receiving tablets next year to help with their access to technology.   Only the Model schools receive this advantage. When we arrived at Cosat the Principal, Mrs. Cooper, greeted us.   She gave us an introduction

Visit to the Village

Visit to the Village After our second day on safari we visited the village that is across the street from the Timbavati Safari Lodge. Our guide was from the village himself as well as many other employees at Timbavati. We learned from him that the South African government owns the land of the village and the elder’s jobs are to distribute it to the people of the village without charge. The people then are responsible for building their own homes. They cannot sell these homes, instead they are passed down through the family. We met the village witch doctor who treats everyone in the village if they have a medical issue or to help them with social and emotional issues as well. Villagers get free water from the government, but pay for electricity on pre-paid cards. The children of the village walked along with us as we got a tour of some of their homes and neighborhoods. There were many houses that had goats and cows living in small-fenced areas in the families’ plots of land

Safari Day Two

Safari Day Two Our first day on safari was an incredible experience and we were lucky to have seen so many animals.   It was hard to imagine that our second day could equal or top the first. Our goal was to see those final two members of the “big 5”. Day two felt different than day one. We were able to enjoy and watch the animals more without feeling the pressure to move on and see what else was out there. Some of us were talking afterwards about different patterns and concepts we picked up on. Carolyn Shield was able to summarize them in a list of three: 1)    Helping each other We were able to see that animals, like humans, help each other by offering support. This was especially shown when we would see Zebras, Impalas, and Wildebeasts, for example, all eating together in the same area. Our guides explained that they do this because they are all prey and the Impala has the best vision and hearing of the three, so when an Impala calls out to the herd that there is a
