After not spending a weekend at home in about 6 weeks, I was in two minds about my planned trip to the Western Cape. Eager to photograph a few species I don’t often see but anticipating the end of the incredibly rushed and meticulously planned out trip to Robertson in the Western Cape. Robertson is […]
The beginning of the year has come and gone and, to be honest, the first quarter is just about through too. I’ve added a few thousand kilometres to my car’s mileage, and a few new species to my Bradypodion list, which include: Bradypodion ngomeense Bradypodion occidentale. Everyone always has plans for Easter […]

City Lodge Hotel Group wrote a Blog on African Instagram accounts that you should check out. Most centre around country accounts showcasing […]
In the real fashion of monthly blogs/reviews I’m almost a whole month late: I of course have a list of excuses from crazy travel plans, a downed internet connection and some far less interesting excuses which I’m not even going to get to.

A quick overview: Durban/Johannesburg Work Johannesburg/Limpopo Johannesburg Work Durban Four provinces/Four Days. 2017km’s Needless to say it’s taken a few days to get everything together and for things to return or slow down to a mild panic.
