I really liked Storms River and the neighbouring Tsitsikamma National Park: a very homey hostel, nice fellow travellers, breathtakingly beautiful landscape – and sunshine! Continue reading Sunshine in Tsitiskamma

Birds and Monkeys and Predators! Oh My!

Considering the fact that it was raining quite a lot while I was in Wilderness, I was quite lucky with the weather, as I even caught a bit of sun. Still, I was not able to do everything on my agenda due to the inclement weather. Continue reading Wet in Wilderness

Whale Wind ahead!
Just over a year after my first trip to South Africa, I am visiting the country again. This time, the focus is on the Garden Route and the Wild Coast. Today, however, I started with the so-called Whale Coast to the South-East of Cape Town. Continue reading Whale Wind ahead!

Autumn around Vienna
