Off the beaten path at the top of Swartberg Pass, South Africa #Hiking
Capetown is the most beautiful African country I have ever visited. Not that I have visited many countries in Africa but if I have tons of cash I would buy a home here!

The floral and fauna in this country is so varied and distinctive. I have never seen many species outside this country!
