Hi. If you look about 2 questions down you see mine concerning my speech about the 7 wonders of SA. I would like to rank them, and I kind of need your help because I haven't visited all of them.
The 7 wonders are: Table Mountain, God's Window, Kruger National Park, Augrabies Waterfalls, Cango Caves, Wilderness and Namaqualand.
Can you please give a mark out of 10 for each of the 7 wonders that you have seen. I would appreciate it VERY greatly.

Ok, Da-man, I've seen em all, so here's the ratings and some extra info. Note the different ratings for different seasons.
Kruger Park: 9 in winter and 7 in summer.
Great reserve with a diversity of rest camps. Game viewing (visibility) better in winter (dry season) and the animals tend to congregate at the waterholes. Also not as warm and less mosquitos than in summer. Bit overcrowded in June/July. August best.
Table Mountain: 8
World famous for good reason and not to be missed. Exeptionally high plant diversity. Cable car to the top for ease. Many hiking trails. Beautiful views, weather permitting. City of Cape Town enhances the visitor's experience.
Cango: 8
Amazing natural beauty and well-designed lighting. Hard to find accomodation during the annual Arts festival in Oudtshoorn in April, tho.
Namaqualand: 10 around September in a good wild flower year; 9 around September in a lesser wild flower year; 5 other times.
Wilderniss: 8 in summer, 6 in winter.
Beautiful beach and forests in the area. Rainy in winter.
Augrabies: 7
Waterfall awesome in summer but many mosquitos and very hot. Nice weather in winter, but falls smaller.
God's window: 7 in winter; 6 in summer
View generally clearer in winter. Beautiful sandstone formations at nearby Bourke's Luck and Blyderiver canyon
Hope this helps.

Table Mountain, 7/10
God's Window, haven't seen
Kruger National Park 9/10
Augrabies Waterfalls 11/10
Congo Caves 10/10 (it's actually congo caves)
Wilderness??
Namaqualand, lovely but I haven't seen it when the flowers were in bloom so I'm probably not the best source on this one.
There is this thing in the Drakenberg Mountains which is called the Devil's Tooth I think, it's quite interesting to see. Something else worth seeing is the Vishriver Valley. It's incredible, but mostly you have to hike to see all the great things there and it is very dangerous (people have died there because they underestimated it).

As far as I remember, I've only seen/experienced Table Mountain and Kruger National Park. I give them both 10 out of 10. Sorry I can't tell you about the others.
God bless.
