Springbok reserve
Ever wondered where the Springboks that don't make the team hang out? Kragga Kamma Game Park, where else?
Impala at Kragga Kamma
A week or so ago we spent the morning in Kragga Kamma Game Park as a family. Its been a while since I've visited the park and every time I go I'm amazed at how fortunate we are to have such a great little park so close to the city. One of the pictures I … Continue reading Impala at Kragga Kamma
Addo roadblock
Nobody likes a road block, sitting bumper to bumper behind a slow moving object or having to waste time in a stop go situation. That is unless you get all of these because of elephants in the Addo Elephant National Park. I had a meeting in Addo and decided to leave two hours early and … Continue reading Addo roadblock

One of the things I … Continue reading Cattle on the Wild Coast beaches

Its something I never forgot and I always wondered if my KidZ, being city kids, would ever get the opportunity to see it happen. During our Sho't Left … Continue reading A calf was born – an unforgettable experience
Random elephant "did you knows"

An elephant's trunk, which is a fusion of their nose and upper lip, contains over 100,000 different muscles. African Elephants also have two finger like features on the end of their trunk that they can use to grab small … Continue reading Random elephant "did you knows"
