Rusty Roadsigns
There is one set of road signs that always grab my attention. I may not pass there often, but the rusty road signs on the old R335 just north of the Zuurberg Pass is my favourite road sign in the whole world. From this intersection there are four road going in each of the wind directions. South will take toy towards Addo and Port Elizabeth via the old Zuurberg Pass, the original road north from Algoa Bay. South takes you to…

I love game drives
I love game drives. Being out in the open and fresh air with a breeze in your face and the sound of birds around. Watching animals in their natural environment. The sun rising or setting on the horizon. Sharing special moments and sightings with loved ones and seeing the reaction of strangers from all over the world to those moments. I love game drives.

Game sightings at Kuzuko Lodge
What is the difference between visiting a game reserve and a zoo? At a zoo the animals are kept in enclosures with little freedom and visitors are guaranteed to see them although the sightings include walls, buildings, fences and cages. At a game reserve you will see the animals in their natural environment and as they are free to roam throughout the reserve but there is no guarantee to see them. So which would you rather do? Personally I would take my chances and…

Two bridges and a drift
On the way back from spending a day in the Gamtoos Valley, I decided to take a drive through the Van Stadens Pass and stop at the bottom to snap a couple of pics (and log the geocache hidden there). Doing some rock hopping I got to a point from where I could see both the new and old bridges as well as the original drift through the river. The river and original pass was named after one of the area's pioneer farmers…

A CITO event for International Geocaching Day
Last Saturday (17 August 2013) I joined a number of fellow geocachers in celebrating International Geocaching Day with a CITO event in the Baakens Valley at the back of Beverley Grove. CITO stands for "Cache In Trash Out" and is a clean-up organised by geocachers at a spot where a cache is hidden that is in need of a spring clean. This specific location is home to a cache called Ancient Roman Tablets and for some reason has a huge litter problem. Cachers…

Cape Baffalo
When you ask visitors which of the Big 5 they would like to see the lion and elephant always comes up first followed by the rhino and then the leopard. For some reason the buffalo always seem to be forgotten. Why? Because people see it as little more than wild cattle? Perhaps. What they don't realise is that the very docile and quiet looking Cape Buffalo are aggravated very easily and then turns into a killing machine, goring those in its…

The view from Kirkwood Lookout
On Friday I took part in the Skäl Nelson Mandela Bay's annual Tourism Amazing Race. This year it took place in the beautiful Sundays River Valley north of Port Elizabeth. I purposely left my camera behind as the team I was in went all out to defend our title from last year. In the end we came in first but due to a 5min penalty got relegated to second. Just to show how competitive the race between the top teams were its important to…
