Oh look, it’s a Jimny in its natural habitat!

Can you guess where this sighting took place? 🥶

One wintery morning we took a wander down a forest path to find the moody & enchanting Madonna & Child waterfall... Nestled deep in the indigenous forest where myths and legends abound, this beautiful waterfall is worth the slippery hike down!

Some winter days are for snuggling under a blanket with a mug of hot chocolate but other days are for exploring, feeling the icy air on your face and hearing the snow crunch under your feet!

Who, us? 🦒

Did you know that a group of giraffes is called a tower? These curious giraffes were spotted on a morning game drive through Etosha, Namibia.

Some of the best adventures are at the end of long bumpy detours following weather-beaten, hand-painted signs. In this case, we found the Namibian Dead Sea! A body of mineral-rich water in an abandoned tin mine that has high salt content, letting you float on a green sea, surrounded by volcanic rock walls and under a clear blue desert sky ☀️

We spotted our namesake in Camdeboo 🖤

Searching for the secretive freshwater mermaid who is said to inhabit the deep swimming pools at the base of the Skelm waterfall in Meiringspoort...

The arid Karoo seems like an unlikely place for a mermaid, but local legends tell of a “watermeid met pragtige lang hare” who is responsible for rain, floods and droughts. Ancient Khoi-San rock paintings in the surrounding hills depict fishtailed humans and giggling school children whisper about a mysterious spirit that steals your clothes when you go for a swim. Who knows? After all, 250 million years ago the Karoo was under the sea...🧜🏾‍♀️

Who doesn't love a good padstal?

No South African road trip is complete without a few padstal pit stops along the way. On our recent campervan trip through the Western and Eastern Cape regions we came across a few gems, but Die Pampoenstalletjie has to be one of our favourites!

There were HUNDREDS of pumpkins. Classic Halloween pumpkins to tiny knobbly gourds in every size and shade of sunset orange imaginable... We spent a good hour here just picking up pumpkins and saying "Look at THIS weird one!"

🎃 We set off on another Campervan trip in July with Weg Ry & Sleep! Click the link https://bit.ly/3ILHTYL for more info and to book your spot 🎃

Slowly sculpted by the wind over millennia the cavernous Stadsaal Caves are particularly beautiful in the last moments of the afternoon as they glow gently in the setting sun...
