South Africa - Into The Wild!
joseph rosendo's travelscope

Joseph heads back to his first African adventure when he safaris through South Africa for close encounters with its animals and people. His journey begins in Cape Town, South Africa's mother city, so called because it's the country's oldest. Then in the shadow of the city's landmark Table Mountain, he visits South Africa's oldest wine country and samples some of South Africa's finest wines. While we can expect to find lions and elephants on Joseph's African journey, at the Cape of Good Hope Joseph also introduces us to ostriches and a colony of three thousand African Penguins. The climax of the episode is Joseph's safari at Shamwari Game Reserve, a 61,000 acre preserve. Equally as inspiring as Joseph's experience being surrounded by the multitude of Shamwari's amazing animal residents is his experience in Alicedale, an abandoned rail town on the edge of the reserve. There he learns that sustainable tourism, attracted by the game reserve, has given the people new hope. In a dramatic moment of illustrated truth, Joseph's South African journey teaches us that although predators kill by instinct, people choose whether to attack or embrace each other and choice is what makes us human and allows us to celebrate our connection.
