Ever wondered where the Springboks that don't make the team hang out? Kragga Kamma Game Park, where else?

Promoting PE and the Eastern Cape… with Chinese subtitles
https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/fjSUxRPPe7U&source=udsI came across this stunning video that was made in 2009 to promote Port Elizabeth and the Eastern Cape before the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Stunning landscapes, beautiful scenes, great activities and all right here in my home town and right on our doorstep. AND with Chinese subtitles nogal. Perfect for our weekly Friday Video Post.

A thousand years in the making -The Tsitsikamma Big Tree
One of the best know attractions in the Tsitsikamma is The Big Tree, one of the giants of the forest and thought to be up to 1000 years old. The Garden Route from the Tsitsikamma through Knysna to Wilderness is famous for its indigenous forests and precious trees, amongst them the Yellowwood. The Outeniqua Yellowwood tree is also South Africa's national tree which makes this particular Outeniqua Yellowwood even more special. Getting to the Big Tree is very easy. First of all…

A Tsitsikamma Sho’t Left
We really don't need much motivation to pack our bags and head somewhere for a Sho't Left weekend. Not at all. Even more so when the invitation for that Sho't Left comes from the Tsitsikamma which is only an hour and a half from our home base in Port Elizabeth. A call from Penny of Tsitsikamma Seaside Accommodation along with an earlier invitation by Anneline of Storms River Adventures had us planning a weekend that included some beach time, nature time, family time and ultimately,…

Hiking at The Island
A couple of weeks ago I got to hike the Bushbuck Trail in The Island Nature Reserve for the first time. What a beautiful trail and part of Port Elizabeth and well worth a morning or day's outing

The JBay Shell Museum
Jeffreys Bay has always been know for two things. Surfing and shells. These days surfing in the town is bigger than ever but unfortunately shells aren't. I remember when I was small we always visited my grandparents at Paradise Beach close by over school holidays. You could go out early morning just after high tide and pic up the most beautiful shells. These days there are very few left. Lots of small ones but no more big and beautiful ones…

Sunset in Eersterivier
I have never been disappointed with sunsets at Eersterivier. We recently spent a weekend in this part of the Tsitsikamma courtesy of Tsitsikamma Seaside Accommodation and even though most of the weekend was a bit on the grey side, the cloud did open enough on our first evening to get this beautiful sunset enhanced with a couple of gulls strolling around on the wet sand.

Impala at Kragga Kamma
A week or so ago we spent the morning in Kragga Kamma Game Park as a family. Its been a while since I've visited the park and every time I go I'm amazed at how fortunate we are to have such a great little park so close to the city. One of the pictures I took on the day was of an female Impala who was part of a breeding herd that was grazing next to the road. I thought…

Addo roadblock
Nobody likes a road block, sitting bumper to bumper behind a slow moving object or having to waste time in a stop go situation. That is unless you get all of these because of elephants in the Addo Elephant National Park. I had a meeting in Addo and decided to leave two hours early and swing through the park to visit my favorite trunked pachyderms. Entering the South Gate at Colchester, I decided to do one of the loops in the…

Odd one out
I recently spent a night at the highly recommended Ganora Guest Farm near Nieu-Bethesda. Early morning before breakfast I went for a walk around the farm and down to the river. On my way back I found this interesting scene of a calf having breakfast with the sheep. A case of mistaken identity?
