Second Day Pretoria Zoo

-
As you can see the first day at Pretoria Zoo started late due to which I could not finish the entire tour of the Zoo. On the first day I got to see many mammals and on the second day, it was even mindblowing to see wonderful aquariums full of fishes. The kind of fishes I didn't even know existed and also snakes. Well personally I'm not a huge fan of snakes but I like aquariums and fishes in general. The zoo has created an exact replica of Malawi lakes that is consisted of the same type of climate control which was very fascinating. The Zoo also has an aquarium for fish with legs that I have never seen personally in my life and I must say that fish looked outstanding and beautiful.

This walk to the lagoon is a wonderful outing experience, not only it is not difficult and long but also a great way to get everyone out of doors. Umhlanga lagoon trail is a little slice of wilderness with wetland and a small forest. Its a sanctuary to more than 100 species of birds and small animals. Most of the trees labeled with their names because of natural curiosity occur among people, some trees are older than 500 years. They are some beautiful fascinating animals to get a glimpse of them you have to be very quiet but trust me its worth it.

The Shipwreck is a beautiful sightseen experience near the ocean it gives you inside of past. The Sacramento ( ship's name) was the pride of Portuguese fighting fleet in the 17th century. She ran aground just outside Port Elizabeth on 30th June 1647 in bad weather and just in few minutes she hit the rocky coastline and got badly damaged. The Shipwreck of Sacramento has many dramatic parts and inspiring story's, one of which is the march of the 72 survivors up the coast towards a port in Mozambique, from where they hoped to be sent back to Portugal. They stayed on the beach near the Shipwreck for 11 days and then began their journey to Mozambique. During their journey, almost everyone met their fate in the hands of death, From 72 survivors only 9 of them made it to tell the tail.
