Springende krokedille

Die Kango Wildlife Ranch in Oudtshoorn het 'n lang pad gekom van die dae toe dit net 'n krokodilplaas was. Alhoewel daar deesdae baie ander dinge is om te sien by hierdie bekende attraksie speel krokodille nog altyd 'n rol. By die Springende Kake (Jumping Jaws) word die krokodil uit die water uit gelok met 'n stuk … Continue reading Springende krokedille →

Joubert House

Most people probably find town museums quite boring, but I love what they have to offer. Its usually the best place to learn more about a town's history and there is always something, usually more than one thing, new to discover in these museums. One such small town museum which I have discovered is Joubert … Continue reading Joubert House →

Fishing at Montagu Caravan Park

In the post about Montagu Caravan Park I mentioned that the caravan park has a dam that is a very popular fishing spot with the campers. At times the kids (and adults) were lined up next to the dam casting and reeling in. Now I'm not a big fisherman. I enjoying doing it for 15 … Continue reading Fishing at Montagu Caravan Park →

Montagu Caravan Park

Over the last five years we have developed into a real camping family. Camping allows us to get out into nature more than we would staying in an hotel or guesthouse and because its cheaper it also allows us to have longer holidays. When we started camping we decided to always try out new places and in … Continue reading Montagu Caravan Park →
