Nature Travel

Knysna (Garden of Eden) South Africa Breathtaking coastlines, picturesque river landscapes and untouched forests give this region where the Garden Route runs its unmistakable charm. The aquatic plants of the Wilderness National Park are a paradise for wildlife.

The Big Island National Park has been declared an International Biosphere Reserve and is a World Heritage Site. The constant volcanic activities offer the opportunity to feel and discover the primal power of the earth. Many trails are available to visitors and friendly rangers are happy to provide information. The different vegetation zones offer nature the opportunity to create their own ecosystems. While the rainforest is lush in the northeast, a savannah-like landscape emerged in the south. The gray, inhospitable zone of the South Rift Zone is in stark contrast.

A varied tour through the Cape Peninsula National Park around the Cape Peninsula along the coast, through fine sand dunes that do not stop at the road. The Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve in the south of the Peninsula measures 8,000 hectares and has been part of the national park since 1998. Passing picturesque fishing villages and small towns with nostalgic flair, the journey goes through the wonderful landscape with steeply sloping rocks to the southernmost point. In between, boulders, large chunks of granite break the coastline and form numerous protected small bays and reefs.

On a spectacular sightseeing flight, the freshwater marshland stretches endlessly to the horizon. Many legends have grown up around the “river of grass”, which is a World Heritage Site. The best way to discover the natural beauty of the 3500sqm conservation area in southeast Florida is by water. In the interplay of sun and water, lush vegetation has developed undisturbed, which is the ideal habitat for an amazing variety of bird species. Past mangrove forests and small islands, the boats penetrate deeper into the waterways.

Of course, a successful road trip means a little more than buckling up and setting off for your final destination. It needs a little more planning and pizazz than your regular drive to the grocery store. And that’s where a comprehensive family road tripping guide comes in: You’ll learn everything you need to know in order to plan an exciting, memorable, and entertaining trip for the whole family - no matter what ages your kids are. 

Are Kalvø è cresciuto in un paesino da fiaba nel Nordovest della Norvegia, circondato da fiordi e montagne e visitato da milioni di persone provenienti da tutto il mondo. Eppure lui non è un uomo da "aria aperta»" e, una volta trasferitosi in città, non si è più guardato indietro. Ma questo non è mai stato un problema. Almeno fino a qualche anno fa, quando si è ritrovato senza più un amico perché andavano tutti in gita tra i monti, come ogni buon scandinavo che si rispetti.
