Garden Route HD - South Africa Travel Channel 24
The Garden Route is a popular and scenic stretch of the south-eastern coast of South Africa. It stretches from Mossel Bay in the Western Cape to the Storms River which is crossed along the N2 coastal highway over the Paul Sauer Bridge in the extreme western reach of the neighbouring Eastern Cape. The name comes from the verdant and ecologically diverse vegetation encountered here and the numerous lagoons and lakes dotted along the coast. It includes towns such as Mossel Bay, Knysna, Oudtshoorn, Plettenberg Bay and Nature's Valley; with George, the Garden Route's largest city and main administrative centre.

Hillcrest Wine Estate, Durbanville, Cape Town, South Africa
Hillcrest Wine Estate, Durbanville, Cape Town from the sky. Footage taken with Phantom 3 Professional Camera Drone.
Hillcrest estate is just outside Durbanville in Cape Town, South Africa. Just like the rest of this area the estate is absolutely beautiful with vineyards and olive trees.
Here is some more info from their website:
Hillcrest Estate is a boutique winery, nestled in the Tygerberg Hills on the outskirts of Durbanville. Only a 30-minute drive from Cape Town, this unique estate offers visitors a host of activities, a much-loved restaurant, delicious olives and award winning wines.
It is the terroir of the farm's vineyards, cooled by afternoon sea breezes from the Atlantic Ocean, which makes it one of the prime growing grape regions in the Western Cape. The estate's well-drained soils have a good water retention capacity and are differentiated into Oakleaf, Hutton and Clovelly types which favour the production of good quality grapes and consequently great wines. In addition the vineyards are strewen with baked shale or “Hornfels”. This is a result of a geological event millions of years ago, which has imparted a distinct minerality to the wines and has lead to the name of our Flagship Bordeaux Blend.
Our vineyards are planted on Northwest facing slopes between 200 & 380 meters ASL. Hillcrest's undulating landscape offers a range of micro-climates which allows different grape varietals to be planted in the various suitable conditions to attain optimal quality. Thus Sauvignon Blanc which requires cool ripening conditions is planted on the higher slopes. The cooler conditions also extend the ripening period which favours the accumulation and concentration of typical sauvignon lime and passion fruit flavours. The five Bordeaux varietals are planted on lower slopes, with Cabernet Sauvignon & Petit Verdot planted on the lowest slopes . These are late ripeners which require warmer conditions to ensure that the grapes are optimally ripe at harvest. Various vineyard management techniques such as leaf plucking to increase sunlight penetration and green harvesting to attain uniform ripeness at harvest are practiced to improve grape quality.
Feel free to visit them next time you are in the area.

A national park is a park in use for conservation purposes. Often it is a reserve of natural, semi-natural, or developed land that a sovereign state declares or owns. Although individual nations designate their own national parks differently, there is a common idea: the conservation of wild nature for posterity and as a symbol of national pride.
An international organization, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and its World Commission on
Protected Areas, has defined National Park as its Category II type of protected areas.
While this type of national park had been proposed previously, the United States established the first public park or pleasuring-ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people, Yellowstone National Park, in 1872. Although Yellowstone was not officially termed a national park in its establishing law, it was always termed such in practice and is widely held to be the first and oldest national park in the world. Some would say that the first official
national park to be designated as such at its creation was Mackinac Island, legislated in 1875. Australia's Royal
National Park, established in 1879, was the world's third official national park. In 1895 ownership of Mackinac Island was transferred to the State of Michigan as a state park and national park status was consequently lost. As a result Australia's Royal National Park is by some considerations the second oldest national park now in existence.
The largest national park in the world meeting the IUCN definition is the Northeast Greenland National Park, which was established in 1974. According to the IUCN, 6,555 national parks worldwide met its criteria in 2006. IUCN is still discussing the parameters of defining a national park.
National parks are almost always open to visitors. Most national parks provide outdoor recreation and camping opportunities as well as classes designed to educate the public on the importance of conservation and the natural wonders of the land in which the national park is located.

Cape Town, Naturally...
Some scenes I filmed while holidaying in the Cape with my family from overseas. Reaffirmed how lucky we are living in such a beautiful city/country! We were very lucky to spot a huge group of dolphins, breaching whales and it was the first time I spotted zebras at Cape Point. I hope you enjoy this little video about the beauty of the Cape in spring. Locations include Tygerberg Nature Reserve, Buffelsfontein, Cape Point, False Bay, Kirstenbosch, Karootuin (Worcester) and Hermanus.

Kirstenbosch - Cape Town 2019
Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden established in 1913 to conserve indigenous flora of South Africa is situated on the eastern slopes of Table Mountain.
Consisting of 1300 acres, it is impossible to explore the entire gardens so I tried to capture as much as possible.
A day well spent here is an inspiration to conserve nature.
Hope you enjoy the video :)
