Port Shepstone
30. november 2014, Sør-Afrika ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Port Shepstone...ein vollgebautes Städtchen, das nur auf die urlaubswütigen Massen wartet, die ab Mitte Dezember hier einfallen. Heute regnet es in Strömen, so dass nur wir und eine einsame Kakerlake bei uns in der Küche unterwegs sind. Deshalb auch nur ein kurzer Übernachtungs-Zwischenstopp für uns...ohne Fotos.Les mer

Oribi Gorge
11. mai 2022, Sør-Afrika ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
One of KwaZulu-Natal's most spectacular natural settings, the scenic Oribi Gorge Nature Reserve lies some 25 km inland from Port Shepstone. The Reserve lies snugly at the head of a magnificent river gorge lined with dense coastal bush and forests. The reserve was proclaimed in 1 April 1950 and is 1 917 ha in extent.

Carved out of ancient sandstone over millions over years, the reserve commands an impressive view of the Gorge. The breath-taking scenery along the Umzimkulwana River Gorge makes this a photographer’s and nature lover’s paradise. Oribi Gorge has a wealth of smaller wildlife species and visitors have occasionally seen leopards.

Oribi Gorge is a wonderful birding destination with more than 250 species recorded.Les mer

Oribi Gorge Day 1
31. januar 2017, Sør-Afrika ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
This morning dawned cloudy and misty. It must have rained quite heavily during the night but we missed it! We were up at sparrows and into the Gorge by 06:30. As expected our birding list grew quite a bit - a third long-crested eagle and a trumpeter hornbill ( heard not seen) Were specials. We took pictures but the light was VERY bad
Perhaps it will be better tomorrow.
Late afternoon we drove the full circle clockwise - short drive (11 km) to the N2 past a huge quarry and its accompanying cements making factory, back along the N2 towards Paddock, and down the Gorge again as we did yesterday. Light was still bad, so I took no more pictures - but we did see a purple-crested turaco fly into a tree. We couldn't stop 'cos at the crucial moment there was an oncoming car and no place to pull off the road!Les mer

Reisende The road into the Gorge

Reisende Pete (who's seen a Narina Trogon in Oribi Gorge) said that the cool birds sit on the road markers. There were no birds, Trogon or otherwise, on the markers we searched.

Oribi Gorge
30. januar 2017, Sør-Afrika ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
We drove through the Gorge to get to Beechwood Cottage at the top near the Oribi Gorge Hotel. It's hot and humid - we have a fan going flat out 😓
The Gorge is lovely, choc-a-block with birds we could hear but not see. We identified 2 I think... and no Narina Trogon.
BUT just before we got to our turnoff there was a little vlei - with a pair of grey crowned cranes and a chick; and a pair of fan-tailed widow birds. Cool.
Our accommodations are very comfortable and we feel our bird list will benefit very well in the next few days.Les mer

Michele Tarboton Looks as though you're having fun. Enjoy the gorge and don't get lost while searching for that Narina Trogon like we did. :-)

Michele Tarboton What's the bird list up to?
30.01.2017Svar
Reisende I think about 86. Sometimes we wish we were decent birders 😊

Shelly beach 1. Tauchgang
19. desember 2023, Sør-Afrika ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
Hab ganz gut geschlafen. Um 6:00 treffen am Tauch Shop, ist ziemlich früh. Alles war gut vorbereitet. Und ab raus aufs Meer. Die Sicht war nicht so toll die Haie nur aus der Ferne gesehen. Irgendwie war mir komisch und ich habe nur 1 TG gemacht. Den Tag noch ganz entspannt verbracht. Es ist zwar warm aber ziemlich bewölkt. Mal schau was der morgige Tag bringt.Les mer

Ramsgate Butterfly Farm
12. mai 2022, Sør-Afrika ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Ramsgate Butterfly Valley offers a unique opportunity for visitors to view the life cycle of the butterfly, first hand.
Most of the butterflies that you will see flying around in the flight dome have been bred out on the farm. By attending an informative presentation in the breeding center, a better appreciation can be gained for the fragile world of these colorful insects.

Butterflies sense the protection of the flight dome and will generally not fly away from you as they would in the wild.This allows for really close encounters with these lovely creatures and offers the opportunity for that elusive close up photograph.Les mer

Red Desert Nature Reserve
10. mai 2022, Sør-Afrika ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Port Edward’s unusual claim to fame is the Red Desert. The world’s smallest desert. This lies some 10 kilometres west of the town and is only 200 m in diameter and 11 hectares in its entirety. Best described as a miniature version of the Arizona Desert, the man high hills and valleys of naked red soil bare stark contrast to to the surrounding lush and tropical vegetation. Archeological artefacts going back millions of years can be found and the locals are pleased this is now an internationally protected heritage site.Les mer
