Situated at the south western tip of the African continent towering above the convergence of the warm Indian and plankton rich Atlantic oceans lies the scenically spectacular Cape of Good Hope so aptly described by Sir Francis Drake as the 'Fairest Cape' in all the world. This spectacular peninsula of ancient granite and layers of sedimentary sandstone is home to a floral kingdom of unsurpassed beauty and splendor. It is a harsh botanical environment that is constantly subjected to hot summer winds and westerly gales in the winter. Over the millennia a unique relationship has evolved within the plant community in response to prevailing climatic conditions within the extremes of this exposed environment. This cycle of progressive change has in turn led to the evolution of a number of species of mammals and birds that have adapted successfully to prevailing climatic conditions over time.Our trip in search of endemics unique to this 'fynbos' environment, as the biome is scientifically known, starts with an overland visit to Cape Point following a pelagic trip the day before to the trawling grounds on the continental shelf.

In recent years, the market for pet products has vastly increased, but in the plethora of gimmicks, here are some guidelines to help you choose wisely.The Perfect Leash When you are looking for a leash for your dog there are several things to keep in mind. First you need to find one that fits. If there is a space for two of your fingers between the leash and the dog, then you are on the right track. Make sure the leash is neither too heavy nor too long. Small dogs will be burdened with a heavy leash and get entangled in one that is too long. Bigger dogs on the other hand require a longer leash for more freedom and a heavier one for more control. In terms of color and design, you could check out different fabrics and shades. However, try and match your dogs fur to the color of the leash for a more pleasing effect. Its important to shop around before choosing a leash compare prices (most start at $10 and go upwards depending on how fancy you want it to be).
