    The Wave Valley in Sun City is actually an artificial beach. Huge waves are created here every once in a while, which brings great fun to the tourists playing here. There is also a sandy beach here, which is of course an artificial beach, but the scenery created is very good, giving people the illusion of being on the beach.

    Early in the morning, no, early in the morning, anyway, we set off before dawn in order to match the animals' schedule because today is another day to see animals. How come there are so many animals to see in South Africa? Different from the cute little ones before, what we saw today were all fierce and fierce, such as African elephants, African leopards, African antelopes, and African rhinos. Anyway, they were all local African brands, guaranteed to be genuine. The place we went to is called Pilanesberg Game Reserve. It is located in the north of South Africa, north of Sun City. It is the fourth largest wildlife park in South Africa, covering an area of ​​more than 500 square kilometers. I have been to many wildlife parks, and I have run a lot in outdoor wilderness like this. To be honest, it is really a physical job. First of all, you have to have good eyesight. Usually, in order not to affect the animals themselves, vehicles will not stop too close. At this time, you have to be able to distinguish them in time. Secondly, you have to have a good guy, at least a long lens, otherwise it is quite strenuous to rely on the focus and anti-shake of the mobile phone. Thirdly, you have to turn your neck quickly because someone in front, behind, left, and right of you will suddenly tell you that a certain animal or a group of certain animals have appeared in a certain direction, and you have to turn around immediately. How to say it, it is very suitable for friends who like animals and have a curiosity. People like me who can't get up in the morning Those who can't even open their glasses are more tired, haha

    We visited wildlife parks near Johannesburg, the most famous of which was the Lion Park. There are many wildlife parks in South Africa, and the types of wild animals are also very complete. However, there are some problems with the security in Johannesburg, so we need to be vigilant.
