Day 4

Lion's Head Mountain
The hike to the summit of Lion’s Head was definitely a highlight of the trip for me. The little bit of climbing that was involved brought back fond memories of rock climbing with my father in Colorado’s Boulder Canyon. The view from the top was a perfect reward and (of course) photo opportunity. It is a must when studying conservation to get to experience first had all that nature has to offer. And in South Africa, nature has plenty to offer! I was completely blown away by the natural beauty everywhere we went, beginning in Cape Town and continuing throughout our journey.

Our visit to the Bo-Kaap Neighborhood in Cape Town’s Malay Quarter was another beautiful moment of the day. I loved the rich symbolism of the brightly colored homes that expressed the new freedom of the salves that once lived there.
