Wanderings Day 5

Today, a few photos from a trip along South Africa’s Atlantic coast from Lambert’s Bay south to Eland’s Bay, the Postberg Flower Reserve, West Coast National Park arriving in Cape Town

Wild… a different sense of isolation from the Kalahari desert we have just left behind. Wild winds, wild waves, wild flowers.

Rich… steeped in history both natural and cultural. Cave paintings and interesting archaeological sites. Incredible birding opportunities.

Wanderings Day 4

Its our last day in the Kgalagadi.  Time for one more little adventure – the Nossob 4×4 Ecotrail.

A perfect way to meander through the dunes on the tracks less travelled.  Stop to investigate the less iconic wildlife often overlooked. Hear stories about the unique plants including surprising flowers that bloom in the desert. Climb a dune to drink in the view to infinity. 

Making camp in time to enjoy a spectacular Kgalagadi sunset before enjoying an evening round the fire.  Going to sleep to the screech of an owl or the jackals calling. Wondering what the rustle in the bush close by is during your midnight toilet break only to discover the leopard tracks in the morning.  Kgalagadi magic!
