Blog Update – Cintsa 19 February 2013
After our wandel along the beach, we had to be back by 9.30am latest. I was expecting Trevor for a laser treatment as he had fallen on the rocks over the weekend and bruised or cracked his ribs quite badly, so was in a lot of pain. John had to be off at 10am for […]

Blog Update – 28 th January 2013 – 16 February 2013
Leaving Grahamstown, for me, was the nicest feeling ever…I felt relaxed again. We had decided to head to Morgan Bay, but in Grahamstown, having my hair done, I chatted to some of the local ladies who often visited a place called Cintsa Bay. They raved about it and it is the start of the Jikeleza […]

Addo – Canadian Grizzly Meets African Elephant
The Addo main camp underground hide was the perfect spot for sundowners. We were joined by our new-found globe trotting campervan friends, Claude and Heygett, from Montreal. The old classic G&T combo was definitely on as the ambient temperature was still up in the mid twenties, and you can never go too wrong with this […]
Addo – In Search on Panthera Leo King of the Jungle
Dawn broke overcast and cool, the cloud cover low and threatening early morning rain. We managed to get to the gate by six fifteen. There to meet us was our old friend, the bespectacled “Little Tyrant” who enquired as to when we might be back and reminded us that he ended his shift at midday, […]
Addo – Hanging with the Hefalumps
I can’t believe that I have lived “down the road” from this fantastic national park for almost twenty years and this is my first visit. Addo is definitely worth the 9 hour trip from Cape Town. And if you happen to live anywhere on the Sunshine Coast, it would count as a sin not to […]
Blog Update – 15 – 18 January 2013
We left Willows early, bound for ADDO, but first having to drop the dogs off at Audrey. It had been raining the night before so the ground was boggy and marshy. John drove the campervan into the kennel parking lot but now, this was the million dollar question, how was he going to get out […]
In Good Hands

Cintsa Beach Walk
It was another lazy Saturday afternoon in Cintsa. Tina was indulging in a siesta so I decided to take the dogs for a leisurely beach walk. One of the most appealing things about Cintsa is the pristine sandy beach that follows the curve of the bay for miles. Tina and I had noticed an astonishing […]
