But if you want to have a more fantastic wildlife experience, we would recommend you to go for a much friendly trip to Duiker Island. It is a half-day excursion that makes you witness the 15000 playful and curious Cape Fur Seals and that too in the natural habitat. This would surely be one of those unforgettable experience you would cherish afterward. You can take a wholesome advantage if you know how to swim.
Culture
DO: Uthando
DON’T: Township Tour
We would suggest you not going on a typical township tour that has been repeated a million times. It won’t excite you as you would have thought.

On this extremely interesting ride, you get to participate in some meaningful experiences rather than stoping on observing stops you do on the traditional tours.
