Just behind Rinkink beach House is the rail line and it is with sad memories that our Steam train is not running anymore. It was a wonderful Tourist Attraction and people came from all over the world to take a trip from George to Knysna on these grand old ladies.

My very best photos

2012-10-16T00:00:00+02:00

The adrenalin is pumping and you are in such a state that you can hardly keep the camera still. Three cheetah's were chasing after the Impalas and then one the one in the photo was not so lucky as to get away. Only a few meters from our car.... the cheetah was suffocating the Impala..... only for a few minutes and then it was all over. But I was lucky enough that I could get these photos at that gruesome moment.

Big Five in Kruger Park

2012-09-13T00:00:00+02:00

On one occasion we saw three lionesses with seven cubs and here on one of the photos are two of them walking so close to our car that I could have toughed them. At the moment I think that the Kruger Park is overpopulated by elephants and that they are doing a lot of damage to the trees Every second tree's
bark is ripped off or destroyed by the elephants. What the outcome of this will be in future is of BIG concern!

And we were more than blessed by seeing 4 Rhinos !!! on three different occasions. Will our grandchildren be so fortunate to see them in future ??

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST DESTINATIONS IN THE WORLD AND WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR NEXT HOLIDAY IN THE NATIONAL KRUGER PARK NEXT YEAR !!!

We stayed in the wonderful Vic Falls Hotel and enjoyed every moment of the luxury. High Tea in the afternoon on the veranda overlooking the Falls was a delight . The evening dinners with the tribal dancers was most enjoyable. We also went on a Zambezi river dinner cruise that we enjoyed and I took such beautiful photos of the sunset (next blog)

The helicopter flight was just as exciting ! My advise.... this is one of the MUST TRIPS !
you can put it on your bucket list.

Whales in Wilderness Waters

2012-07-03T00:00:00+02:00

They are here !!! I called our visiters from Gauteng and they were thrilled to show their children what the whales look like in real life. It is so thrilling..... this is where they come to for the mating period and sometimes you see them very active..... just head and tails!! Not the best photo.... but will try to capture a better one.

My first photo was taken in the farmers area just 5 km from Wilderness on your way to the Seven Passes Road between George and Knysna and "The Big Tree" .
A Yellow Wood Tree that is more than 800 years old and in the original indigent Forrest. Second photo was taken is just above Rinkink Beach House and it shows the Hill covered with lovely
Milkwood Trees and this one old tree ... beautiful artwork !! Reminds me of the beautiful poem with the end phrase... "But only God can make a tree !"
