It was time to get back to a bit of civilisation. We set a couple of goals for ourselves in Centurion: to buy a wedding dress, a suit and wedding rings.

Amazing wildlife in Kruger National Park video
We spend a week in Kruger again. We saw rhinos, lions, hyenas and even some wild dogs. We ended our Kruger adventure with some beer and wine while overlooking the Berg-en-Dal water hole. Numerous elephants came to drink. What a great place!
Here we go again: Kruger National Park!
We really have to get used to South Africa again. We crossed the Beitbridge border post and drove towards Musina, the first city along the road. How peculiar! They’ve got these huge shopping malls where…
Morning pictures in South Africa
Every morning we wake up in a different place. To remember all these places and moments I take a picture every morning. These are all the pictures taken in South Africa.
Celebrating Easter in Augrabies Falls National Park
Our last (!) stop in South Africa, at least for now, was the Augrabies Falls National Park. The Orange River crosses the National Park. A couple of meters from the camping you’ll find the main attraction of the park. The exact point where the Orange River drops down several meters: the Augrabies Falls.
Awesome coastal campsite in Namaqualand: Kwass Se Baai
After about 18 kilometer through the sand we arrived at our little dream spot in Namaqua: Kwass Se Baai. We managed to make it here about an hour before sunset so we could pitch our tent and enjoy the lovely African sunset. Due to the fact that there was no one else we had the beach and surroundings all to ourselves!
The weskus (West Coast) of South Africa
We stayed a couple of days in Jacobsbaai and explored the area from there. One day we visited West Coast National Park and the next day we did a roadtrip to Paternoster to Velddrif with a stop at Stompneus Bay, St. Helena Bay, Laaiplek and Port Owen. The West Coast is really different than others parts of South Africa.
Franschhoek living – wine and chocolate..
Over 50 wine estates can be found in Franschhoek and around. The best thing about these estates is that at most of them you can just show up and taste some excellent wines for only a couple of Rands. After this short intro on Franschhoek I’ll describe a typical (/our) day in Franschhoek.
Port Elizabeth & Sea View
We ended up staying in Sea View for about two weeks and experienced the most wonderful things. Since we did see that much and we already covered the Raggy Charters and Schotia Safaris trips there are just two remaining things to write about. Food and relaxing in and around Sea View.
Port Elizabeth Safari: Raggy Charters & Schotia
After about fifty (jubileum!) days on the road we arrived in ‘our’ Sea View. It’s also in the vicinity of where both Raggy Charters and Schotia Safaris operate. We were fortunate enough to join a number of trips out on the Algoa Bay in Port Elizabeth and go on a safari game drive with Schotia Safaris
