Addo flowers
After the rains we had in the Eastern Cape this past winter the veld is looking really good. Its no different in the Addo Elephant National Park with lots of yellow and purple flowers all over.

Cape Recife WWII Forward Observation Post
Port Elizabeth has arguably the most complete collection of surviving coast artillery buildings and equipment dating from the Second World War (1939-45) of any port in South Africa. Before the Second World War the Port Elizabeth Harbour actually had no defence in place except for Fort Frederick which was built in 1799 to guard the original landing place in the early days long before a harbour was even built. In 1942 it was decided to put harbour defences in place…

Tranquil forest stream
I can't imagine myself a more tranquil scene than one of the Tsitsikamma's whiskey coloured streams flowing through the thick indigenous forest

Paul Sauer Bridge
Most travellers on the N2 through the Tsitsikamma stop at the Petroport to fill up the one tank, empty the other or just grab a snack. A lot of those travellers, specially those from afar, either take a walk across the Storms River Bridge or to the viewing platform. The bridge spanning the Storms River is actually called the Paul Sauer Bridge. The bridge was designed by Riccardo Morandi, an Italian architect, and completed in 1958. At the time of its building it formed…

Hippo at Lalibela
Some people get real excited by seeing lions and elephants or even something rare like an aardwolf in real life on a game drive. The Damselfly had her moment when she saw real live hippos for the first time at Lalibela Game Reserve near Port Elizabeth. What made the sighting even better was that there were a number of this huge semi-aquatic mammals in the dam when we got there and the one then proceeded to get up so that we could…

Stormsriviermond hangbrûe
Die Tsitsikamma Nasionalepark op die Tuinroete is een van die mooiste plekke in Suid-Afrika met sy inheemse woude, loodregte kranse en pragtige kuslyn. Die 1 km lange mondwandelpad van die ruskamp tot by Stormsriviermond is die gewildste staproete in die park en die hoogtepunt is die drie hangbrûe by die riviermond self. Die oudste een van die drie steek die rivier oor terwyl die twee mees onlangse toevoegings oorgesteek word soos mens die rivier met die paadjie langs nader. Die enigste waarskuwing wat ek het…

White Lions at Pumba
There are about 500 white lions left in the world, most of them in captivity. Pumba Game Reserve is one of only a few game reserves in South Africa that has free range white lions on its property. Pumba's white lions is right at the top of what visitors to the reserve wants to see and it was no different when I got to visit for a night. On the evening game drive we spotted a female with two cubs in the…

Sondagsrivier Veerboot
Colchester net buite Port Elizabeth is a rustige plekkie en is baie gewild met vakansiegangers en stadsjapies wat oor die naweek bietjie wil wegkom en die Sondagsrivier geniet. Behalwe die rivier is die twee ander groot aantreklikhede die Addo Nasionale Olifantpark wat se suidelike hek in Colchester uitkom en die reuse sandduine aan die ander kant van die rivier. Die Sondagsrivier Veerboot doen daaglikse ritte in die oggend and laat middag met die rivier af waarna mens teen die duine kan opklim om…

Marilyn’s Diner in Storms River
When one visits a small village or town you often expect some kind of quaint little restaurant or coffee shop and not necessarily a place filled with Cadillacs, 50's & 60's memorabilia, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe and painted pink for added impact. This is exactly what we encountered next to the Tsitsikamma Village Inn on our visit to Storms River Village. Walking into Marilyn's Diner is like being whizzed back in time to a period of rock and roll, bold colours, chrome, neon…

Village Inn day and night panoramas
While staying at Tsitsikamma Village Inn in Storms River I took two panoramic photos from the upstairs balcony of one of the cottages. One during the day and one in the evening.
