5 Reasons to Choose South Africa as a Honeymoon Destination

Are you trying to think of a honeymoon destination with a bit of a difference? If you like a bit of variety and prefer your vacations to be a combination of sightseeing, chilling out and nature then South Africa could be the right place for you.

I just recently returned from honeymoon in South Africa, we visited Cape Town, a game reserve on the Eastern Cape, the Garden Route and a few days of relaxation in the wine valley of Franschhoek.

Here are some reasons why you may like to think about visiting South Africa for your honeymoon or vacation.

1. Amazing Wildlife South Africa has absolutely fantastic wildlife. You can see the big five lions, elephants, buffalo, leopard and rhino, plus many other animals such as zebra, giraffe, impala, kudo and wildebeest, .You may have seen these animals in a zoo before, but this is nothing compared to seeing them in their own natural habitat. South Africa has a large variety of game reserves from the massive Kruger national park, to the smaller malaria free game reserves on the Eastern Cape. As well as seeing all these animals on dry land, South Africa is the ideal location for spotting whales, dolphins, sharks and even penguins. Hermanus, a town on the garden route, is one of the top land based whale spotting locations in the world.

2. First Class Accommodation you can find a wide range of hotels and guest houses in South Africa suitable for any budget. If you are on your honeymoon and looking for something luxurious you will have no problem finding it. There are a lot of privately run luxurious guest houses in South Africa, with friendly owners who take pride in the service they give to their guests. The accommodation is also very decently priced and you will get more for your money than you would in most hotels across Europe.

3. Excellent Food Eating out in South Africa is memorable experience. If you love meat you will be spoilt for choice with excellent steaks or local meat such as kudo, springbok and ostrich. if you are a fish lover there is an abundance of fresh seafood to try and if you like dining in style then a visit to Franschhoek with its large share of the top ten restaurants in South Africa is a must.

4. Wine If youd like to try a Pinotage, a Chenin Blanc, or perhaps a Cap Classique style sparkling wine then be sure to pay a visit to one of South Africas wine regions. Stellenbosch and Franschhoek are both fabulous places to spend some time wine tasting and you will find a great variety of vineyards with a large selection of wines to try. The scenery in this area is also stunning and surrounded by mountains, rolling hills, vines and flowers .

5. Culture South Africa has a very interesting history and culture. There are a large number of museums to visit, including the infamous Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned and Cape Towns District Six museum, documenting the memories of the former residents of district six. The people in South Africa are also very friendly and will make you feel very welcome.

Using Religion to Escape the Church

Although from time to time as you read my books and articles you may get the impression that I am against religion. Nothing could be further from the truth. I am not against any belief system and I believe that all beliefs are appropriate in their time and place.

What disturbs me the most is how the Churches use religion to disempower people. It keeps them captive in a belief system that is less than life affirming in that it holds back the believer from evolving past the Church or the religion itself.

It must be the mission statement of any organization to move its members to a higher level outside of their current beliefs, or the agenda becomes one of preservation of the organization over the welfare of its members. For me, the purpose of going to a church or attending any kind of a meeting would be to enlighten myself - not to be shackled or imprisoned. Moving from one box to the next is okay as long as you continue to move. Every step you take should take you to the next one.

The power of the church is obvious, and after thousands of years of mankind, humanity has moved very little spiritually. Today about 84% of the world's population is religious. Men of importance and of high stature continue to practice outdated beliefs, and although they do it for their own personal reasons, fear is the common glue the binds them to it.

As enlightened persons, those who have moved out of the box may learn from the practices of the church. It is easy to see how organized religion can manipulate their congregants to remain loyal. The same practices are used in just about every religion - damned if you move; damned if you stay. Don't ask questions about outside the box and don't look outside the box or you will be damned.

Humanity is slow at catching up and religion is testament to that. In order to evolve, one must be ready to evolve. You can not walk from here to the corner unless you are willing to take the first step. You will when you are ready, and because so few have taken the step, it is obvious that they are not ready. It is no different outside the box as it is inside, except that you don't have the four walls holding you back, nor do you have the protection of the four walls, but what you do have is an escape route and a chance to move somewhere else.

It is scary being outside the box and moving to places you know nothing about. However, with time the fear disappears as the unexpected becomes the expected. When one assumes responsibility for their lives, they also accept responsibility for the awesome, infinite power that comes along with it. The power and freedom to do, have, or be anything that you desire on demand and not be limited by ones own thoughts.

It is only when humanity looks to itself to create what it desires, does he truly know he is free and has joined with his God as one. The practices of the church, such as praying, worshipping, and letting go can give us example of how to focus on what we want to create. But, at the same time one must know that he/she is focusing on his own power to create; not any symbols or Gods outside of himself. If you are in denial of your own power, then you are at the whim of something that cannot hear you. You are past help, past hope, and past cure. That is not to say that prayers are all unanswered, but when credit is given away, so is the ability to tap into the power to create at will and from the true source.

When I talk or write about religion, I am not against it, nor am I for it. What I want to do is empower my readers to go past their beliefs, and create something that is even better than what they are experiencing now. I want to give them an opening in the box that they can squeeze through from choice, and move on to something even better. What I want to do is wave at you from where I am, and you are, and let you know that the distance between us is full of opportunities. I made it and so can you.

I am not looking for followers, I represent opportunity and not an end, I am not a guru or a savior, and I am a free spirit moving along a different chosen path. The pieces of paper that I drop along my path are my landmarks and acknowledgement that I have been here and gone. Either way, if you keep finding these papers or if they have all piled up in one spot - you will not find me, for I have moved on. It means I am life itself, always moving and always changing - just as you are.

Empower yourself, set yourself free to think outside the box, fear was meant to conquer; not imprison your soul. Give yourself permission to move on and experience all that you can be. The best belief is the one that demonstrates that it works for you in this life - that it offers you what you want to experience now, and not a promise of something that may come in another time and place. I am not God fearing, I am God loving!
