Geographical extremes capture the imagination. From ancient mariners to contemporary mankind, the quest has always been to reach the poles, sail around the tips of continents, conquer the highest peaks and dive to the ultimate depths.
Package includes:
? Two nights' accommodation only.
Five things to explore at the Agulhas National Park:
? The southernmost tip of the African continent - about a kilometre west from the Cape Agulhas Lighthouse
? Southern Right Whale - between June and November
? African Black Oystercatcher - is endangered with a population of less than 5000 adults
? Damara Tern - listed as "Near Threatened" owing to its moderately small population
? Saltpans
The following activities are available in the surrounding towns or in the Park:
? Cape Agulhas Lighthouse & Museum: The lighthouse was built to aid the early explorers on their passage of the rough seas off Cape Agulhas. Seventy-one steps lead up to the top of the second oldest working lighthouse in southern Africa.
? Graveyard of ships: The Zoetendal, Birkenhead and Armiston are some of the many shipwrecks found along the Agulhas coastline. Showpieces from these shipwrecks are on display at the Bredasdorp Shipwreck museum. Visitors to the area can still see the remains of the Meisho Maru 38 wreck on the shores of Cape Agulhas.
? View Fynbos: The Agulhas Plain has great diversity of flora. The Agulhas area contains representatives of unique vegetation such as limestone fynbos. Although most species bloom between May and September, there are flowers to be enjoyed in any season. Explore the Agulhas Plain with its great diversity of indigenous flora, and unique vegetation such as limestone fynbos!
? Bird Watching: Take a slow drive along the Struisbaai-Elim route and enjoy the vast wealth of bird life in and around the Park, especially at the salt pans and along the wetlands. The Park has exceptional birdlife, including endangered avifauna, such as the African Black Oyster-catcher.
