Thor’s afternoon snooze

Thor, the first white lion to be born at Seaview Predator Park, taking an afternoon nap. He had absolutely no interest in the paparazzi on this side of the fence.

Giraffe up and down

Being tall isn't always that easy. Sometimes those long legs need a rest as well. You won't easily see giraffes sitting down where there are lions in the area. That's because they are all legs when they get up and can easily be taken off guard. Luckily for this one she lives in the Seaview Preditor Park … Continue reading Giraffe up and down →

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 →

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 →

Also just want to wish Drama Princess a happy 8th birthday today. My little girl is getting big very … Continue reading Snoozing →

Coastal homes

The suburbs (I've never heard of them being referred to as villages like Schoenmakerskop does) of Seaview and Beachview to the west of Port Elizabeth has some of the most envied coastal views anywhere in the city.

Surf and turf at Barnacles

After yesterday's post on Barnacles Restaurant in Seaview I thought I wanted to show you the Surf and Turf I had for lunch there. Nom nom nom......

View from Barnacles’ deck

Port Elizabeth has a number of restaurants with great sea views, one of the Barnacles in Seaview. The view from the deck at Barnacles overlook the rugged coastline and you often spot whales (in season) and dolphins going by. My visit unfortunately coincided with a cold front so it wasn't ideal weather to sit outside and … Continue reading View from Barnacles’ deck →
