| 10:25 | On the Move
Today we check out of our hotel and head to our fixtures at Reddam, Herzlia and Wynberg. On the way we have a 45 minute boat journey to Duiker Island. The island supports the largest Cape Fur Seal colony in the Western Cape; up to 75 000 seals occur. The market for fur seal products crashed in 1983 and seal harvesting no longer occurs on Seal Island. As a result, the seal population has increased dramatically in recent decades. The seals attract Great White Sharks and an eco-tourism industry to view the sharks is slowly developing. Seal Island also supports a small population of African Penguins. The penguins have been provided with artificial nest sites, and this has increased their breeding success. In spite of the increasing seal population, the number of penguins has remained stable since the 1980s, and about 80 pairs breed each year. | | Tue 16 Feb 2016 |

This 1600 ha family owned reserve is home to some of Africa’s greats such as Lion, Buffalo, White Rhino and Giraffe. Visitors can either enjoy an unforgettable guided game drive, a delicious meal, a good night’s rest or a team building/conference that will keep everyone talking for years to come. | | Wed 17 Feb 2016 |
