Krokodille is een van daardie besienswaardighede wat alomteenwoordig is in Suid-Afrika en glo dit of nie, een van die gewildste aktiwiteite daar is om te kajak saam met hulle.

Om te kajak in water wat wemel van dreigende roofdiere soos krokodille is besonder gevaarlik, soos gedemonstreer deur die ontelbare stories van kajakvaarders wat aangeval en gedood is deur hulle.

Alhoewel, ten spyte van die onsekerheid van die aktiwiteit, staan sensasiesoekers wat soek vir hul volgende waaghalsigheid steeds in lyn om dit te doen.

Gidse wat kajakvaarders daagliks uitneem om te roei tussen die krokodille, waarsku hulle dat een van die gevaarlikste dele van die rit is die tewaterlating van die kajakke.

Krokodille val dikwels kajakvaarders aan wanneer hulle in vlak water is, want hulle weet dat mense—'n bron van voedsel vir hulle—gereeld daar is.

Die gidse vertel kajakvaarders om nie eens één toon in die water te sit nie, as gevolg van die gevaar.

Een van die gewildste plekke in Suid-Afrika vir kajakvaarders om uit te gaan tussen die krokodille is die St.Lucia riviermonding.

Dit is ongeveer drie voet diep, maar die water is baie donker daar, wat dit alreeds 'n baie ontstellende ervaring maak. Selfs nog meer omdat dit moeilik is om die krokodille te sien waarvan die kajakvaarders deeglik bewus is.

St.Lucia is 'n klein nedersetting in Suid-Afrika se KwaZulu-Natal provinsie en dien meestal as basis vir die Groter St.Lucia Vleilandpark.

Ongeveer 1,200 Nyl-krokodille bly in die vleilandgebied.

Die Nyl-krokodil is die tweede grootste reptiel wat steeds bestaan en 'n uiters aggressiewe tipe krokodil. Dit maak dat kajakvaart saam met meer as 'n duisend van hulle die adrenalien laat pomp deur jou are as gevolg van die gevaar.

Crocodiles are one of the most ubiquitous sights in South Africa, and believe it or not, one of the most popular activities there is kayaking with them.

Kayaking in a body of water that's teeming with menacing predators like crocodiles is singularly dangerous, as is demonstrated by the countless stories of kayakers being attacked and killed by them.

However, in spite of the precariousness of the activity, thrill-seekers looking for their next derring-do still line up to do it.

Guides who routinely take kayakers out to paddle among the crocodiles warn them that one of the most dangerous parts of the trip is the launch of the kayaks.

Crocodiles often assail kayakers when they're in shallow water because they know people—a source of food for them—are there frequently.

They tell kayakers not to put a single toe in the water there because of the peril.

One of the most popular places in South Africa for kayakers to go out among the crocodiles is the St.Lucia estuary.

It's only about three feet deep, but the water is very tenebrous there, making an already disconcerting experience even more so because it's difficult to see the crocodiles the kayakers know are there.

St.Lucia is a small settlement in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal province and serves mostly as a base for the Greater St.Lucia Wetlands Park.

About 1,200 Nile crocodiles live in the wetlands area.

The Nile crocodile is the second biggest extant reptile and an extremely aggressive type of crocodile, which makes kayaking with more than a thousand of them a huge adrenaline rush because of the danger.

Suid-Afrika is bekend vir baie dinge en Adventures with Elephants is een van hulle.

Die maatskappy bied baie sui generis (unieke) ervarings aan met betrekking tot olifante, insluitend Olifantrug-ritte, Olifant interaksies en Swem op die Olifante, plus aangemete aktiwiteite vir groepe.

Olifante is edel wesens wat resoek verdien en 'n omgewing soos dít van Suid-Afrika bied die perfekte plekke aan om die natuur van hierdie diere te verken, terwyl ons 'n paar interessante dinge oor hulle leer.

Adventures with Elephants is geleë omtrent 'n uur en 'n half se ry buite Pretoria op 'n natuurreservaat digby die Zebula Country Klub.

Die maatskappy bied 'n verskeidenheid van praktiese interaksies aan vir die opbouing van diegene wat deelneem.

Gidse leer avonturiers oor olifant anatomie, opleiding en intelligensie, terwyl hulle ook toegelaat word om elke deel van die olifant aan te raak en te voel om eerstehands te ervaar hoe 'n olifant se vel en verskillende liggaansdele voel, selfs die olifant se tong! Sommige dele van die olifant voel anders as ander, soos die feit dat die dier se maagvet nogal anders voel as sy sespak.

Die maatskappy bied ook olifantritte aan deur die Suid-Afrikaanse veld wat nie net meer eienskappe insluit van die olifante nie, maar ook meer oor die plant- en dierelewe wat deelnemers sal teëkom tydens hul ritte.

Om wydsbeen te wees op 'n olifant in die water is ook 'n verfrissende en onvergeetlike ervaring, want ryers kry die geleentheid om net te voel hoe lig die massiewe olifant is terwyl hy in die water is.

South Africa is known for many things, and Adventures with Elephants is one of them.

The company offers many sui generis experiences relating to elephants, including Elephant-back Rides, Elephant Interactions, and Swims on the Elephants, plus tailor-made activities for groups.

Elephants are noble creatures deserving respect, and an environment like that of South Africa offers the perfect places to explore these animals' nature while learning some interesting things about them.

Adventures with Elephants is situated about an hour and a half outside of Pretoria on a nature reserve contiguous to the Zebula Country Club.

The company offers a variety of hands-on interactions for the edification of those who participate.

Guides teach adventurers about elephant anatomy, training, and intelligence while also allowing them to touch and feel all parts of the elephant to experience firsthand what an elephant's skin and different body parts feel like, even the elephant's tongue! Some parts of the elephant feel different than others, like the fact that the animal's belly fat feels quite different than its six pack does.

The company also offers elephant rides through the South African veld which include not only more on the attributes of elephants but also more about the plant and animal life participants will encounter during their rides.

Riding astride an elephant in the water is also an exhilarating and unforgettable experience as riders get the opportunity to feel just how light the humongous elephant is while in the water.
