Who would’ve thought they’d be able to find a bird sanctuary in the heart of Johannesburg? I certainly didn’t. But as I was driving down Beyers Naude the other day toward Cresta shopping centre, I came across this sign “The Kelland Bird Sanctuary”. As a tourist, hire a car from Johannesburg car hire, investigate this beautiful piece of land. It is situated at the confluence of the Darrenwood Spruit and Fairlands Spruit and the Klein Jukskei River, between the Randpark Golf Course and the Willows Estate. It is fed by the Fairlands Spruit and the Darrenwood Spruit and has 24 bird species.

Ever heard of the Pygmy hippopotamus? Neither had I until I visited the Guinean forests of West Africa. I was also surprised to learn that this is home to a quarter of Africa’s mammal population. The Pygmy hippopotamus is unfortunately on the list of endangered species as well as the Jentik’s duiker. Like most forests, you will find an array of bird life. Fortunately, by organizing a car hire, I had ample space to load my recording and video editing equipment. Places like these are of such importance, as we only have a limited amount of time with nature such as this. The human population has a nasty habit of destroying all that it touches.

Travel has never been as effortless as it is in today’s times.  Car hire enables one to travel to many parts of the word, without limitations or restrictions.  Take the Karoo for instance, 102,691 square kilometers of balmy desert, speckled with array of endemic flora species. Dwarf shrub land meanders as far as the eye can see and tumbleweeds frolic in the wind. Leafy succulents store the rains meager blessings, yet still are able to display magnificent blooms which are lavishly painted along open spaces of the Karoo.  Tall aloes over a moment of shade to travelling reptiles and varied species of lizards and scorpions. Beauty may come in many forms, particularly the Karoo.

When people refer to an island, one normally acquaints it as a small mound of terrain with one palm tree occupying it.  This isn’t the case when referring to the island of Madagascar, reigning in as the fourth largest island in the world. On a recent trip to the island, with the assistance of a car hire, I was able to explore this isolated island of contained history.  This particular island is especially unique as it hosts a number of native inhabitants both fauna and flora.  Madagascar is also one of the largest producer and exporter of vanilla.

What used to be known for its unique and various species of wildlife, Madagascar today embraces a new philosophy of responsible development, and has an increased emphasis on cultural richness.  Going through a car hire company, we explored this beautiful island which lies in the Indian Ocean off the south east coast of Africa, opposite Mozambique.  Sadly, what was once densely forest on the island, has mostly been cut down.  The French made the island dependency in 1885 and then in 1895, the monarchy ended and in World War II, the British took over Madagascar.
