Everybody has their travel bucket lists. I'm no different but because I would still like to do a lot of travelling I have divided mine into International, African, South African and Eastern Cape. One of the things that has been on my Eastern Cape travel bucket list for a while now is doing the Innikloof … Continue reading Up(s) and down(s) and into the water at the InniKloof Waterfall hike

Hiking to Tiger Falls – Royal Natal National Park
The Drakensberg is famous for the trails that crisscross her spine, meanders across her back, explore her valleys, marvel at her fabulous buttresses, enter her wooded vales, wade through her streams and end up at waterfalls flowing over her. It's enough to want to throw your head back and shout in ecstasy. Yes I know … Continue reading Hiking to Tiger Falls – Royal Natal National Park
Swimming at Cascades – Royal Natal National Park
When you arrive at Mahai campsite in the Royal Natal National Park in the Drakensberg, one of the first things you notice is that there is no swimming pool. "What! No swimming pool?

Shefetswe goes crawling for a cache

It's amazing how one can actually plan your whole road trip and all your stops around Geocaching. It was no … Continue reading Shefetswe goes crawling for a cache
Takazi Waterfall – hidden on the Wild Coast
One of the first things I did when I knew I was getting to explore the Wild Coast a little bit was to check if there will be any Geocaches on the route I was going to follow. Although there weren't a whole lot I made sure I saved those I would be able to … Continue reading Takazi Waterfall – hidden on the Wild Coast
Our own secluded Baviaans valley
One of the best parts of exploring while traveling is discovering hidden gems. Some of these hides are figuratively, as in somewhere (either a place or establishment) off the beaten track that the hordes haven't discovered yet. Sometimes you find places that are literally hidden though. One of these I found on our weekend at Baviaans Lodge … Continue reading Our own secluded Baviaans valley

The Tsitsikamma is a world of indigenous forests bordered by mountains and a rugged coastline. One of the most beautiful places there is. At the heart of it lies the Tsitsikamma National Park. The Mouth Trail takes visitors from the park's restaurant area to the Storms River Mouth with its three suspension bridges. Just after … Continue reading Waterfall reflection
Waterfall nymph
A waterfall nymph at the Rust en Vrede Waterfall close to Oudtshoorn. I would really like to encourage visitors to Oudtshoorn to do the little detour to the waterfall when they are on the road to or from the Cango Caves. It took me years to finally go there and I'm so sorry that it … Continue reading Waterfall nymph
