In the heart of the Garden Route, lies the Tsitsikamma National Park.
A sanctuary for the indigenous evergreen forests which grow over 20m tall along the South Coast. 🏞

This is one of the few places remaining in South Africa where you can still walk among giants🌳

Probably one of the most remote places to travel to in South Africa. 🛖🐾
But absolutely worth a visit!

I've never felt more at home than in these mountains. Whether it be winter or summer, the Drakensberg will always be as spectacular as the first day I saw them.💚🏡

Where else can one enjoy best of both worlds? After a early morning safari, we headed down to the beach to explore the rock pools and take a swim in the Indian Ocean. Isimangaliso truly is one of South Africa's biggest gems, where one can search for animals, take a walk through a forest and chill on the beach. Bliss🇿🇦🥂

One of the more easier hikes to do in the Northern Drakensberg. Even though the Tugela Gorge hike (15km) doesn't have a steep elevation gain, the views still don't disappoint! 🤩🙌🏼

If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. 🥂

The Drakensberg has a very special place in my heart, it always finds itself on top of my bucket list. Just as you finish one hike, you almost instantly want to start the next one and explore a different area.
So awesome to have these mountains right on our door-step! 🤩

After many years, the St Lucia estuary is finally refreshed by ocean water due to the recent flooding in KZN. Many marine fish species can now make their way into the estuary to spawn and replenish the various fish populations.

In this photo, local fisherman take advantage of the tide bringing in better fishing opportunities.🐟

The 13km 'Karee' hiking trail at Rustig in the Magaliesberg is probably one of the most intensely challenging trails in the area!🔥
But the surrounding views makes all the effort well worth it!🤩🙌🏼

Northern Drakensberg you were amazing! Thank you! Until next time🇿🇦🙌🏼🤩
