游侠半仙:“We came to Bloukrans Bridge - World's Highest Bungy in South Africa with a tour group, mainly to see the highest bungee jumping spot in the world. Most of the members of our group were elderly people, and no one participated in bungee jumping. No one bungee jumped when we arrived, and we left after more than ten minutes. This bungee jumping site is located in the Tsitsikamma area of ​​South Africa's Garden Route, on the Bloukrans Bridge on the N2 highway at the border of the Eastern Cape and Western Cape provinces. [Bloukrans Bridge] Bloukrans Bridge Participate in the challenge of the brave - bungee jumping. Between the green mountains and valleys, the Bloukrans Bridge flies north and south, like a giant's steel arm suddenly pulling the canyons on both sides together. On this bridge, you have to go through three tests: slide the 120-meter cableway from one end of the mountain to the center of the bridge; walk the suspended soft ladder across the mountain stream to return; and of course, the extreme bungee jumping on the bridge. Under the stimulation of crazy music, the body's dopamine secretion accelerates, turning you into a brave warrior!”

Nicole王YY:“It is said that this place is suitable for raising ostriches because of its dry and hot climate, so since the last century, it has been an industry for breeding ostriches and selling feathers and other related products to the UK and around the world. The ostrich park is not big. The staff will take you to feed the ostriches, touch the ostrich eggs, take photos with the ostriches, watch the artificial hatching of ostriches, etc. There are also emus, which are relatively clean and not smelly. However, the tour group helped us order an ostrich meat meal... I really couldn't eat it... It was a bit disgusting. Ostriches are very strong. Black ones are generally males, and camel ones are females. When I went there, I saw a white one. The staff said it was relatively rare. There are also ostrich feather products, ostrich eggs and ostrich leather products for sale in the store there... I only bought ostrich feathers. I couldn't bear to buy ostrich leather products after seeing the real thing. As for the taste of ostrich meat, it is similar to duck meat, but a little thicker... Okay... I won't say more... Amitabha, I just ate a small bite.”

I did the regular tour and we had a great guide and it was quite enjoyable”
