Cape Town, South Africa
Cape Town — Reflection and Return
The edge of the continent — where mountain meets sea and the journey becomes a promise to return.

Surfacing
After the Delta and the dust, Cape Town felt like surfacing.
Table Mountain above, Atlantic wind below, and time finally slowing down enough to look through the footage.
The city was the bow tie at the end — human rhythm returning but the mind still tuned to the wild.
Reflection
I knew I would go back.
If this much life could unfold in eight days in the bush, then a lifetime would barely be enough to see its edges.
The sea here felt like a border and a promise: the continent behind me, the next return already forming ahead.
The Edge
Bo-Kaap’s color against Table Mountain. Penguins at Boulders Beach. Ostrich at Cape Point where two oceans meet.
The waterfront at dusk, harbor lights replacing the campfire.
Cape Town wasn’t the end — it was the breath between expeditions. A place to process what I’d seen and recognize what I hadn’t yet.
The wild doesn’t let go easily. I left Cape Town knowing I’d be back to the bush before the year ended.
