Map of Africa: Wilderness.

Map of Africa: Wilderness.

The map of Africa, is a viewpoint, just outside the small town of Wilderness, in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. To reach this viewpoint, one has to negotiate a quite steep road, up the mountain, with some sharp curves thrown in to keep the driver awake!! The last part of the road is a gravel road which is in a good condition.

The map of Africa is shaped by two rivers, the Kaaimans river and the Silver river, that flows into each other. Some people do not see the map of Africa, and only sees a crocodile's face. Strangely enough, a Kaaiman, is actually also another name for a crocodile, although this is not commonly used.

I can actually see both shapes, but for the Africa shape, you need to look further, up to the end of the photo above!!

My wife and I did enjoy our visit to this viewpoint, but just down the road, there is however a better viewpoint from where one can see the ocean!!

I see in the selfie, the map is a mirror image of the first image, in which the map is positioned correctly, I wonder why this is??

I hope you enjoyed the post as much as I enjoyed writing it.

All the photos, were taken by me, with my Samsung phone, at Wilderness, in the Western Cape Province of , South Africa.
