. . . We said goodbye to Pumba, and flew to Durban. This was supposed to be a two day relax in the heat, dipping our toes into the Indian Ocean. Unfortunately the weather has other ideas – thunderstorms and torrential downpours – laugh at us here However every cloud has a silver lining and […]

Pumba!
Thankfully we read Trailfinders instructions our last night in Wilderness and arrived between 12:00-13:00. It was a 4 hour drive but the very early start was worth it. We have arrived on Safari in the most idyllic setting. See a video of our lodge here, and the restaurant and “lounge” area here. Photos and words […]

Stunning scenery along the way, over Chapman’s Peak Drive, through Llandudno and Scarborough […]
Been west, been east, now going south . . .
Time to travel again, this time just me and him. Back to the country of his birth – although he can’t remember it. Given storm Ciara is battering us at the moment, we can’t wait! As you can see the most important aspect of the trip is the camera equipment, which is sorted. As 👨🏻will […]
