Rust en Vrede Waterfall

When I was in primary school we did a tour to Oudtshoorn and one of the places we were supposed to visit was the Rust en Vrede (Rest and Peace) Waterfall. The visit was cancelled due to bad weather and I've always wondered what I had missed. When I started working as a tourist guide about 15 years … Continue reading Rust en Vrede Waterfall →

Storms River Mouth Trail

I can never rave enough on how awesome the Tsitsikamma National Park. Its an absolutely beautiful place and the amount of visitors, both domestic and international, that go there daily is proof that its one place you cannot miss when travelling along the Garden Route. Most of these visitors do the Mouth Trail from the … Continue reading Storms River Mouth Trail →

Walter Sesulu Botanical Garden

There is always something new to see even if one has been to a place many times. This is even true of one's own home town, but this isn't a story on my home town. There is so much I haven't seen around Johannesburg and Gauteng, but I don't always have a lot of free time … Continue reading Walter Sesulu Botanical Garden →

Tsitsikamma forest cascade

One of my favorite photos taken in the last little while combining a couple of my favorite things. Forest, stream, waterfall and the Tsitsikamma.

Witpoortjiewaterval

Die Witpoortjiewaterval is die fokuspunt van die Walter Sisulu- Botaniese Tuin in Johannesburg. Die tuin is 'n baie gewilde piekniekplek en besoekers hou gewoonlik hulle oë baie wyd oop om te sien of hulle dalk die broeipaar Verreaux arende wat langs die waterval nesmaak kan gewaar.

Slow shutter waterfall

I don't often play around with the settings on my camera, but I couldn't help slowing down the shutter speed just a little bit for this pic of one of the streams flowing through the Tsitsikamma forest.

Forest stream cascade

Beach or Bush? Bush or Beach? That always seem to be the choice when people do these mini surveys on where folk would like to go for their holidays. I can think of one or two others to add but one that springs to mind immediately is Forest. What's wrong with a forest holiday? The breeze … Continue reading Forest stream cascade →

Misty waterfall

By now you must surely be tired of all the Drakensberg photos that keep on appearing. LOL! That will change soon. We are in Mossel Bay for a week making use of a prize I won and over Easter's loooong weekend we are going camping in Knysna. So I will shortly have loads of photos … Continue reading Misty waterfall →

Sundays Falls / Fairy Glen Trail

The Sundays Falls hike is probably one of the easiest short trails in the Royal Natal National Park and we set out one morning while camping there to see what the Sundays Falls look like. As usual Chaos Boy was in the lead and Drama Princess tried her best to persuade us that it would … Continue reading Sundays Falls / Fairy Glen Trail →

Tugela Gorge

One of the must do's when you are in the Drakensberg is the day hike up the Tugela Gorge. On my matric (final year at school) tour nearly *mumble mumble* 20 years ago we did part of the hike and it was at the top of my list of things to do while we were in the … Continue reading Tugela Gorge →
