Drakensberg wandelpad – Die Wandellied

Vir die een of ander rede het ek vandat ek met RaakREIS begin het en bloginskrywings in Afrikaans doen, skielik baie van die ou Afrikaanse Volksliedjies begin onthou as ek na van my fotos kyk. Dis eintlik hartseer dat ons dit nie meer so baie sing soos wat ons gedoen het jare terug nie. Hierdie foto is geneem … Continue reading Drakensberg wandelpad – Die Wandellied →

Drakensberg Amfiteater

As iemand my moet vra om een deel van die Drakensberg te kies as my gunsteling, dan is dit die Amfiteater in die Koninklike Natalse Reservaat. Die Amfiteater se muur staan oor die 5 kilometer lank en is omtrent 1,220 meter hoog oor sy hele lengte. Die Tugelawaterval wat 984 meter oor die Amfiteater val is dan ook die tweede … Continue reading Drakensberg Amfiteater →

So I will shortly have loads of photos … Continue reading Misty waterfall →

Queen’s Causeway

The Royal Family visited South Africa in 1947 and one of their stops was at the Royal Natal National Park which at that stage was only known as the Natal National Park. The "royal" was added to the name following the 1947 visit. From the Mahai camp site you walk about 500 meters to the Cascades Waterfalls … Continue reading Queen’s Causeway →

Drakensville Resort – Drakensberg

During our December / January holiday trip to the Drakensberg we spent 10 days at the Mahai campsite right in the mountains with another 4 at the Drakensville resort about 30 kilometers away from Mahai. The reason we chose to do this is because Drakensville is a family resort with a number of family entertainment activities … Continue reading Drakensville Resort – Drakensberg →
