Garden Route, South Africa

    Take in fresh sea air in this beautiful coastal setting as you cruise the famous Garden Route in the Western Cape in South Africa. A wildlife break is a must, as is enjoying great meal stops along the route. There are wildlife reserves throughout the Graden Route National Park you can swing into and spend a sleepy morning in a car looking for giraffes and lions. And just over your shoulder in the big blue there are whales to be watched (if the season is right).

    Top tip: Add a trip to the Eastern Cape to your Garden Route trip. It is much less known than the Western Cape and full of great landscapes. The gas station is occasionally seen.

Great Ocean Road, Australia

    Sweep along this dramatic coastal road in Austrlia with views of the Southern Ocean from Geelong to Portland, in Victoria, and you won’t regret it. Anyone who has driven it just can’t stop talking about it, and with good reason. There’re loads to see and plenty of great stops. There’s whale-watching here too, and other natural life. And to top it all, there’ll be plenty of good old Aussie kindness and welcome when you pull in for lunch or a coffee stop.

    Top tip: Rent an open-top car so you can really drink in that sea air.

Stelvio Pass, Italy

    If you like snake-like paths and mountain passes, you’ll love this. Stelvio in Italy. The mountain slopes stretch away on either side of the road, with snow-topped peaks within sight. There’s a great view down the pass. And from the top, it’s just a short sweep away from the Swiss border, so if you are gripped by mountain road driving, you can drive from here down to Swiss ski resort of Davos. Stelvio has 48 hairpins(急彎) on the north side and 12 on the descent(陡坡) to Bormio, so this route is not recommended for new drivers, or those with a fear of heights. This descent is often featured in the Giro d’Italia, the Italian version of the Tour de France, so you may have glimpsed it on the television.

    Top Tip: Take some Swiss Francs as well as some Euros, so you can make the trip a cross-border experience.

     In the far north-eastern corner of South Africa, Kruger National Park is the largest
game reserve (野生動(dòng)植物保護(hù)區(qū)) in the country, and the most famous wildlife zone
on the African continent. Stretching out over 7,332 square miles, Kruger is a wonderland
of wildlife. It has 507 species of birds and 147 species of mammals. It also has a fair bit
of history  it dates back to 1898 when it was founded as a game reserve in an attempt to
control hunting in the area. It didn't see a tourist until 1927; however, one year later it
became a national park.
     It's a good place to see roaring beasts in their own backyards. South Mrica is an
increasingly hot tourist spot, and you may want to visit it this year, before it hosts the
2010 football World Cup. South Africa is also an inexpensive country for tourists.
     Anyone seeking to escape the European winter will be surprised to hear that March
is not the best time to go to Kruger.
     The six-month period between May and October tends to be the most suitable time
for wildlife - spotting. The weather is not only cooler but also considerably drier. This
means that water sources dry up and animals are forced to approach rivers, creeks, dams
and watering holes in search of liquid refreshment.
      If you go to South Africa, you need to pay attention to the threat of malaria (瘧疾).
Kruger is one of the only two South African national parks that have an issue about the
disease, but only during the rainy season ( December to April).
       A disadvantage of Kruger is that it sits a long way from South Africa's other well-known
tourist attractions  Cape Town, the Garden Route, and the meeting of the Atlantic and Indian
Oceans at Cape Agulhas.
