Elephants Footprint Lodge
This last weekend we needed to get away, so we dropped the Rugrats at the in-laws and headed out to Addo Elephant National Park. We drove through the park and spent the night at the four star Elephants Footprint Lodge in Colchester. The thatched lodge is ideally situated just outside the park's southern gate and a super spot to spend a couple of days while exploring the park and area. The lodge has 12 magnificent suites to relax in. The…

Camp fire
I got to visit the boma at Sundays River Backpackers not to long ago to view the sunset and to enjoy an excellent braai meal after taking a ferry trip down the Sundays River to climb the dunes. There really is nothing like sitting next to a camp fire in the evening and listening to the evening sounds, chatting to friends and relaxing. Thanks to Bertie and Maggie from Sundays Riviera Houseboats for hosting us.

Sundays River and dunes
Following on yesterday's post on the Sundays River and Ferries from the previous day, I decided to post another pic of the river, but this time showing more of the dunes. I have done a post on the dunes before, so if you would like to know more about the dunes at Sundays River Mouth, visit my Colchester Dune Field post.

Ferries
There are two ferries that do trips down the Sundays River at Colchester. The one on the left of the picture is the Maggy May and the one on the right belongs to the Sundays River Ferry Company. Trips take you from Cannonville up to the old bridge and then down towards the river mouth so that guests can get off and climb the giant sand dunes (forming part of the Alexandria Dune Fields).

Heading home
A couple of fishermen on a rubberduck heading upstream along the Sundays River at Colchester after a day of fishing close to the mouth of the river. I wonder if they got anything? This pic was taken on a trip out with The Sundays River Ferry Company and The Maggie May House Boat.

The Colchester Dunefield is part of the Alexandria Dunefields which are the biggest coastal dunefield in the Southern Hemisphere. The Alexandria Dunefields was put on the UNESCO World Heritage Sites' tentative list as a possible future UNESCO site. I got the following information off that list:Alexandria Coastal Dunefield is the largest, most impressive and least degraded…

The Sundays River Ferry
The Sundays River Ferry sails down the Sundays River from the slipway in Cannonville next to Colchester. It throws anchor near the Sundays River Mouth so that visitors can climb the giant sand dunes. The dunes are part of the Alexandria Dune Field, the biggest coastal sand dune field in the Southern Hemisphere and the biggest area covered by sand dunes south of the Namib desert.
