South Africa 2020 – The Cavern Drakenberg Resort and Spa

13th-17th February 2020 We left Lake Eland Game Reserve and travelled to Hillcrest in Durban to meet with Craig, Tammy and their son Josh. A lovely family we met last year in Mauritius. Tammy was expecting twins and as we were so near it would have been a shame not to see them. We spent…

South Africa 2020 – Lake Eland and the Oribi Gorge

10th-13th February 2020 We drove from Mimi’s Retreat Ramsgate to Lake Eland Game Reserve in the Oribi Gorge, stopping on the way to do some shopping as we had to cook for ourselves here. Upon arrival we were told that the price for our reservation had changed but were pleasantly surprised when we were told…

South Africa 2020 – St. Lucia and Salt Rock

29th-31st January 2020 We left Mpila Tented Camp in Imfolozi Game Reserve and headed towards St. Lucia. Rather than exit the park and take the quick route we decided to stay in Imfolozi and Hluhluwe Game Reserves and do a game drive, visit Hilltop again for a coffee and then exit at Memorial gate and…

South Africa 2020 – Hluhluwe, Sodwana and Imfolozi

20th January 2020 Well it was time to get out of the UK to escape the dull and dreary weather at this time of year. An early start to catch the 06:10 from Leeds to Schiphol Amsterdam, and then the 10:15 flight to Johannesburg arriving at 22:05 local time. Collected the car after a long…

South Africa – Underberg

Having done the Sani Pass we decided a more leisurely day was needed. Nearby was the Drakensberg Gardens We were informed we could go through their grounds to the campsite at the end and do some walking. Pillar Cave was our choice, so off we set. It was a great walk although we had to…

South Africa – Underberg and the Sani Pass – part 2

Continuing from South Africa – Underberg and the Sani Pass – part 1 Going through the border control was very easy and everything was sorted by Aldo. I seem to recall he said he’d been through over 400 times and had been stopped and searched once. Going from the relatively rich country of South Africa…

South Africa – Underberg and the Sani Pass – part 1

After extensive research, Sandra decided to stay in Underberg which gave easy access to the Sani Pass. The Sani Pass starts at 1544m and rises 1332 vertical meters to summit at 2876m. It’s also considered a birding hotspot. Our accommodation was at Panorama Hideaway Underberg, and after a very nice introduction we watched the sunset….

South Africa – Sheffield Beach

One of the things that Sandra likes is snorkelling. Having read up about South Africa she decided she wanted to visit Sheffield Beach area, on the Dolphin Coast, and take a look at the tidal pools. We stayed at Bed and Breakfast by the Sea which had amazing views of the sea from a high…

South Africa – St. Lucia

Having left Kruger we traveled to Piet Retief and had an overnight stay at Röhrs Farm Guesthouse. This was a fantastic B&B and it’s a shame we didn’t stay longer. Walking around the gardens we managed to see the following. The next morning after a leisurely breakfast it was on to St. Lucia. What an…
