Autumn road trip to four Nat Parks - in rain or shine

[umtali1]

Thank you for taking me round the smaller, overlooked parks in SA . They are so very important to the conservation of flora and fauna of the region.

Thanks for another detailed and informative Trip Report. Always interesting to see our parks through the eyes of 'foreigners'... but it seems that the two of you are becoming experts on our 'backyards' .... you may even be able to apply for citizenship one of these days.....

Enjoy the planning and wait, till your next visit.

Cheers FinMari and SO

I love the emerging Autumn colors. Very pretty indeed.

Thank you so much for this delightful and informative trip report.

I had a look at my calendar and I that there will be no flooded bridge or other issues.

I have had some catching up to do.

Some super bird sightings, and more Dassies.

Your lamb shanks looked very tasty ( one of my favourites)

Some lovely scenic photos.

The laundry looks very good.

Then on to meet some friends. Always a lovely thing to do.

Thanks so much, FinMari,

for another incredible trip report which I enjoyed tremendously

You are right without birdies it would for us also not the same - Great that you saw blue cranes as well

The landscape shots are incredible and love that dassie shot

Until the next time at least earlier than our next trip

"The next trip is 2 nights at Golden Gate Highlands NP from August 24th "

At Golden Gate you Must visit the vulture restaurant. Look out for Bearded Vultures, not just on the ground but in check out all the flying birds ....

You now also have the dinosaur centre to look forward too.

Great report, thanks for sharing

Alway's sad to leave, but luckily not that long before you are back....

[Cape of Storms]

FinMari, I had to do a bit of catching up — but oh, I’m so glad I did!

What a beautifully told adventure, from misty morning zebras to dassies on watch and those sweeping Karoo views. Your updates make me feel like I’m right there beside you, munching naartjies and soaking in the peace.

Those lamb shanks looked absolutely worth the wait, and the birding? Just brilliant — I always learn something new reading along.

Counting down with you now until August — not long to go!
Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[Carla + Tony]

O no...your TR has come to an end

Feeling rather you will be going again before long. Wish we could visit that often too...

Would love to join you at the restaurant in september but afraid we will not be able to make it this time

Thank you so much for sharing your visit with us. Really enjoyed the ride
