Lady Slipper Hike
Something a little different for us but here’s a poem on the Lady Slipper Hike in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
The Timeless Voyagers hiked up Lady Slipper, to explore new places as two trippers. The path was marked and often pretty steep, with mesmerising silence leaving not a peep.
We would miss you, South Africa
One of the most common topics of conversation amongst South Africans is living overseas. We looked for cheap flights to London and imagined living there. What would we miss about living in South Africa?
Jukani Wildlife, Monkeyland, Birds of Eden
The Three Sanctuary Pass: Jukani Wildlife, Monkeyland and Birds of Eden is the best way to learn about wild animals in an environment that protects them. The three sanctuaries in The Crags area form the South African Animal Sanctuary Alliance (SAASA). They are award-winning sanctuaries (winning ‘Best Animal Welfare Initiative’) and should definitely be visited at least once in your life. The sanctuaries promote Responsible Tourism.
Treehouse Cottage in The Crags
Welcome to the Treehouse Cottage in The Crags (Western Cape). The treehouse was a large open planned room with a kitchenette, lounge and dining area, and a bed. The treehouse was the perfect weekend getaway.
Thunzi Bush Lodge stay and picnic
After an unforgettable experience at the off the grid tipi in Knysna for my birthday, a romantic weekend at the four-star Thunzi Bush Lodge was a great addition to our birthday month! Thunzi Bush Lodge is a mere 30 minutes from central Port Elizabeth. The experience at the lodge was perfection.
Off the grid Knysna tipi accommodation
A weekend getaway completely off the grid in the Knysna forest, living in a tipi. A unique and recommended experience!
Marina Wharf restaurant and boat cruise
A mere 7 minutes (~3.8 km) from Jeffreys Bay is a great place that we highly recommend: the Marina Wharf restaurant. Add in a boat cruise and your day will be well spent.
