Shamwari Game Reserve promotional video

The Shamwari Private Game Reserve is world famous and everybody knows about it, but have you ever been there? I used to go there quite often with guests when I was still a tourist guide and they still did day visits. Perhaps by posting this and asking very nicely somebody will pop me an invite... … Continue reading Shamwari Game Reserve promotional video →

Uitenhage has some seriously big ants

A little caching adventure in Uitenhage brought us to Cannon Hill overlooking the town. Walking back down the path Drama Princess gave a bit of a scream and jumped onto the grass. There on the path was a couple of seriously big ants making their way up the hill. I tried to get a close … Continue reading Uitenhage has some seriously big ants →

Happy Valley – wish I was happy

Today was one of those days. You know, those where you just want to disappear off the radar for a while so nobody can find you. I feel tired and stressed and its all thanks to having my car stolen last week. Not just my car but also my backpack that was in the boot … Continue reading Happy Valley – wish I was happy →

Fishing in the Baakens Mouth

A week or two ago we went for lunch at This is Eat at the Port Elizabeth harbor and I was watching a couple of fishermen fishing where the Baakens River (Mouth) and the harbor meets. Going back to the pre-1960's this whole area around the harbor was where the residents of the old South End … Continue reading Fishing in the Baakens Mouth →

Boardwalk Fountain Spectacular

Looking for a video to post today I came across this one of the Boardwalk Fountain Spectacular. It looks like an advert for Aquatique Show who could be the company who installed the fountains at the Boardwalk. The video is spectacular and really shows off how awesome this show really is.

Walking through Happy Valley

After yesterday's post on Happy Valley there was a comment by Grunt saying - "I understood that visitors get mugged when visiting Happy Valley. Used to love it as a child, but based on what I have heard, I tell visitors to avoid it." There probably hasn't been a mugging in Happy Valley for close to … Continue reading Walking through Happy Valley →

Discovering Lauries Bay in Port Elizabeth

The South African coastline stretches over 2500 km (give or take a couple of km) from the desert border with Namibia to the subtropical border with Mozambique. I say give or take a couple of km as I have seen exact distances given of between 2798 km and 3751 km. Whichever it is, its a heck of … Continue reading Discovering Lauries Bay in Port Elizabeth →
