Shrike at the Donkin
As you all know, Port Elizabeth Daily Photo isn't just always about places and historic sites around the city. Far from it actually. Walking around the Donkin Reserve the other day I snapped this pic of a fiscal shrike sitting on top of an aloe. I wonder what he had his eye on at this … Continue reading Shrike at the Donkin
Mock charge
On a recent visit to Kuzuko Lodge in the greater Addo Elephant National Park we had some amazing sightings. The afternoon game drive started with a close up sighting of their two male lions before we encountered a herd of elephants in a valley close to the lodge. The matriarch put up a spectacular mock charge what … Continue reading Mock charge
Beware: Bumpy Road, Remove Dentures
I wonder how many people drive down (or up) Villiers Road in Walmer every day without ever noticing this sign painted on a log next to the road. I for one never saw it until I was taken there in search of a geocache recently. The bumpy road it refers to leads to the Walmer … Continue reading Beware: Bumpy Road, Remove Dentures
One of the Lovemore family graveyards
he Lovemore surname is closely linked to Port Elizabeth and it's early history, specially out in the western side of the city. This is all thanks to one Henry LOVEMORE who left England to settle in Port Elizabeth in 1820.

Animals at Seaview
I always say how fortunate we are in Port Elizabeth to have so many game reserves and game parks close to the city, but I say it because I really mean it. For a quick game watching outing and for sheer number and variety of animals I prefer Kragga Kamma Game Park, but visiting Seaview Preditor Park the … Continue reading Animals at Seaview
Wasn’t Me
A couple of guys fishing on the Sundays River. Cool name for the boat specially if its used to escape the wives for a day of beers and fishing.
Seaview Preditor Park walkway
The walkway at Seaview Predator Park (previously known as Seaview Lion Park) takes one over a couple of enclosures with animals in them. Along the way we saw a bush pig, black panther, meerkats, hyena and lion and tiger cubs to mention a few. The park is great for local kids who would never be able … Continue reading Seaview Preditor Park walkway
Theescombe Wetland Conservation Area
Just when I think that I know or have seen just about everything there is to know and see in and around Port Elizabeth something else presents itself. And truth to be told, through Geocaching I'm discovering something new just about on a weekly basis. Last weekend I took the KidZ to look for a cache in the … Continue reading Theescombe Wetland Conservation Area
Lazy Lion
The Lion. King of the Jungle but also one of the laziest animals around. But why not? When one is King you take it easy and just do the necessary, like hunt and eat. Addo Elephant National Park as well as most of the private game reserves around Port Elizabeth have lions so if you get … Continue reading Lazy Lion
