[QUOTE="petite, post: 956948, member: 62994"] i missed this post! everybody said i should go to cape town and provably i should have. we didnt cos we felt that the montain landscape is more similar to what we have here (plenty) my brother runs a few cabins in a national park called "los alerces" wich is great place elevated cold jungle snow lakes and we already know that we go often. cape town must be very nice no doubt but we where not looking for a nice city. we went to joburg only as scale the same with durban (it was a good place to drop the car) about the big five defenetly i should be at least the big 6! i thougth that the buffalo was dull untill i saw one a few meters away! man what a magnificent animal it was a big old bull massive!! i did not even know about the existence of kudus and eland! what a formidable animals they are and we heard eland could go on growing undefenetly! we saw a few that where realy big (those could also get in the club as you say) we loved the rhinos (my sons favorite) and cos they are more difficult to spot than elefants and an endengered species so i rate them high we where not so impresed by the Ostriches cos we have a similar bird called ñandú a bit smaller but similar. hippos where great too incredible creatures!! i think both SA and arg have lots in common big places losts of nature, failing economies (a week before leaving argentina the peso was devaluated by 40 %!!!!) we dont have the same kind of racial problems (i read about the xenophobia attacks when i came back) but we have a severe political division. hopefully is non violent ) it was in the past. we also have losts of national parcks 38!! and we both do wine and asados/braai. i think most of you would enjoy visiting argentina. buenos aires is certenly more friendly than jobourg but is no disneyland!! if you go the the wrong place some **** can happen. but is easy to walk arround (not in summer) if you ever come you should see the iguazu waterfalls (they used to be much better) now is to many infrastructure and too much people but the waterfalls are just unbelivable. the glaciars at perito moreno. los alerces with the 3000 year old trees and pristine rivers that you can just drink the water. another grat place (but difficult to get) is the gigantic swamps of ibera (maybe the closest thing to kruger in terms of animal species) but not even close to the ones in SA but the place is full of species that are only found there the gigant mouse Capibara the caiman called yacare. in away is similar to santa lucia. you can also get 5 diffent species in the same photo.
