Ratanga Junction Theme Park Cape Town South Africa - Africa Travel Channel
Ratanga Junction theme park, the Wildest Place in Africa, is located at Century City in Cape Town, offering more than 30 attractions ranging from kiddie and family rides to thrill rides guaranteed to satisfy the most avid adrenaline junkies.
One of the most challenging rides is The Cobra, a suspended looping coaster which catapults riders from a height of 32m along 780m of track at up to four times the force of gravity and at speeds of close to 100km/h. Adding to the thrill of the ride is the suspension of riders beneath the track, feet flying free. The ride is not for the faint hearted.
For the less brave why not try Diamond Devil Run, the runaway mine train ride, or the Bushwacker, the smallest coaster in the park.
There are a number of water rides including Monkey Falls which has one of the highest drops in the world and the rapid river ride, Crocodile Gorge where you are guaranteed to get wet, very wet.
Then there is the Slingshot, an ultimate thrill ride, which combines elements from skydiving and bungee-jumping. Flying three abreast, riders are strapped into a full body harness and hoisted 10 storeys to the top of the tower. Pulling their own rip cord, riders plunge in a 30m free fall towards the ground before swinging upwards in a 180 degree arc and then straight down again.
The white-knuckle thrills and spills are just one element of Ratanga Junction. The other attractions are designed to entertain children, families, and those who prefer to take their thrills in more manageable doses.
Visitors can also enjoy a variety of live entertainment and eat at one of the many eateries around the beautifully landscaped park.
Ratanga Junction also offers a large and unique variety of opportunities for functions and can host almost any function you can dream of from 60 - 7000 guests.
If you're looking for a great place to spend the whole day with friends, colleagues or family this is the place to be!

Cape Town - where eight people are murdered a day - BBC News
Cape Town is a well-known tourist hotspot, but also one of the most divided and dangerous cities in the world.
It has seen an average of eight murders a day, for the first six months of this year.
In one weekend in July, 43 people were killed.
The South African Army has now been deployed to help stop the violence. In some cases, residents are forming vigilante groups.
The BBC's Vauldi Carelse and cameraman Christian Parkinson spent a weekend on the streets of the city with both the police and the army, as well as the families of those killed.

We ask you, humbly, to help.
Hi reader in the Netherlands, it seems you use Wikipedia a lot; that's great! It's a little awkward to ask, but this Friday we need your help. We’re not salespeople. We’re librarians, archivists, and information junkies. We depend on donations averaging €10, but fewer than 1% of readers give. If you donate just €2, the price of your coffee this Friday, Wikipedia could keep thriving. Thank you.

History[edit]
The town grew after the nation's administrative centre moved from Bremersdorp (now called Manzini) in 1902. It derives its name from a Chief, Mbabane Kunene, who lived in the area when British settlers arrived.
Economy[edit]
Mbabane's closest border crossing to South Africa is Ngwenya-Oshoek, and though Swazi is the primary language, English is widespread. Mbabane, and Swaziland itself, depend on tourism and sugar exports. It is also a commercial hub for the surrounding region, while tin and iron were mined nearby. The city has two sites for light industries.
Education and culture[edit]
Mbabane is the home of the Waterford-Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa, as well as one of the three campuses of the University of Swaziland. Limkokwing University of Creative Technology is a private international university that lies by the South African-Swaziland border with several university candidates from Swaziland. Indingilizi Gallery is an art gallery in Mbabane, established in 1982 and showcases a range of Swazi art, including sculptures, paintings, batiks, mohair, ethnic jewellery and pottery.[2]
Geography and climate[edit]
Mbabane is located in the district of Hhohho, of which it is also the capital, and lies on the Mbabane River and its tributary the Polinjane River in the Mdimba Mountains. The average elevation of the city is 1243 metres. Neighbourhoods and suburbs include Mbangweni, Sidwashini, Kent Rock, Sandla, Westridge Park, Malunge, New Checkers, Msunduza and Vukutentele.
Due to its altitude, Mbabane features a moderate subtropical highland climate (Cwb). The city has a mild climate and snow is a rare event, which has occurred only three times since 1900[3]. The city averages only four days of frost a year. The average temperature is 11 °C (52 °F) in July and 22 °C (72 °F) in January.[4]s. It lies on the MR3 road.

Magnet Fishing at a Bridge Jumping Spot - Palmiet River Bridge, South Africa
Great day Magnet Fishing at the Palmiet River bridge in South Africa.
This is a popular spot for adrenaline junkies who enjoy bridge jumping. The idea was to try fish out some lost valuables which may have been lost while jumping.
Stunning scenery and a beautiful spot to spend the day Magnet Fishing.
The water is quite rocky so ended up getting hooked up a few times. Had to strip down and jump in the water to retrieve my magnet at one point!

For 11 days (4 February - 15 February) we went on our first journey to South Africa. We had a 6-8 hour layover in Dubai and played a show and then made our trek to South Africa (Cape Town + JoBurg).
On this trip was Mr. Carmack, Joe Kay, & The Whooligan. This really was a life changing experience for us. We didn't know what to expect and went in with open ears and an open mind. We came back more inspired than ever and with new friends. We will be back and we hope you enjoy our highlight moments of South Africa.
Special Thanks again to our friends, promoters, videographers, RBMA, and all the beautiful people who we met and connected with.

Cuba Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia
Cuba – Enjoy old-world architecture, famous cigars and classic cars in this long-isolated island nation. Check out Cuba’s top sights for travelers.
When ready, browse vacation packages to Cuba:
Despite being within easy reach of Florida and the Bahamas, #Cuba exists in a time and space all its own.
Explore Cuba’s capital, Havana, a city preserved by forts, a five-mile seawall, and an imposed embargo, which held back the excesses of the 20th century for over 50 years. Havana’s lure can be hard to resist, but a #vacation in Cuba can offer so much more beyond the seductive lights of its capital. In Cuba, a long sandy beach is never far away.
Sometimes it’s hard to know whether Cuba is awakening to the world, or if the world is awakening to Cuba. Whatever your politics, it's easy to admire this island nation that has proudly gone its own way. Cuba may still have one foot firmly in the past, but as the world tumbles towards tomorrow, we can be thankful for the many things it has not let go.
For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.
