After 2 weeks it is now going back to Cape Town via Bettys Bay (here you can also find some penguins) and a wonderful coastal road. And how do you know that you are back in the...

As the last stops on my journey, the places De Kelders and Hermanus awaited me. These places are especially popular between June - November, when whales come to the bay to give...

After this last night in the Game Reserve, we continued a good distance west through the 'breadbasket' of South Africa - so called because of the many fields for agriculture. If...

Before moving towards the Western Cape, I spent one last night in a private game reserve. During the animal observations, there were definitely 2 highlights with the lion family...

Before continuing the next day, I had the opportunity to visit the township of Knysna with a guide. The founder of the tour has taken in children from alcohol- and...

Since only places & activities that I have not seen yet were planned on this trip, today was an absolute highlight. There was no time for this place on the last trip and...

Now that I'm back in Cape Town, it's time to talk about the second week of my trip. During this time, I had a change of accommodation daily, had many experiences, and often had...

Today was all about the elephants at Addo Elephant National Park. Since I've been on several safaris before (and for cost reasons), I decided to drive with my own rental car,...

On Saturday, I continued directly to the Eastern Cape. Here, I spent two nights in a Private Game Reserve - an absolute highlight in every way. I already knew beforehand that...

Last Tuesday, it was time to say goodbye to my apartment in Woodstock - for another 2 nights, I moved back to the guest house where my journey began before finally starting my...

After a small trip to Signal Hill on Friday (including touching the clouds) and a long walk along the Seapoint promenade, it was time to leave the city for one night on...

The first month in South Africa has already passed, and especially due to the current developments in Germany, I am incredibly grateful to be able to spend my time in this...

And another weekend is over. On Friday, I explored a bit of Woodstock with its street art and the Old Biscuit Mill. In the afternoon, I also went to Camps Bay beach. The view of...

This weekend, thanks to my own car, I explored some places that were a bit further away. First, I went to the suburb of Muizenberg - known for its colorful Victorian beach huts....

Since I am allowed to work a little bit, I mainly used the afternoons this week to explore more parts of the city. The absolute highlight was Bloubergstrand north of Cape Town -...

After a very quiet Saturday, two tourist highlights were on the program for Sunday - due to the heat, there wasn't enough time for more. First, we went to the Castle of Good...

Following a blood moon is a full moon, and because I find the view from the foot of Table Mountain and from my terrace so spectacular, here's a 'only' post about it

And already the first week is over - I spent my free Friday very touristically: sightseeing with the red hop-on hop-off double-decker bus. The first tour went around Table...

One advantage of short-time work: besides work, there is still enough time for other activities during the day. So on Wednesday, February 24th, I took an Uber to the Waterfront...

On Monday, my 4 luggage pieces and I finally moved into and unpacked the booked AirBnb in Woodstock - after 3 days of living out of a suitcase, this was much needed! Before...

After my first night, I slowly realized that I am really here, everything has worked out so far and now I can shape the coming weeks as I want. The fact that a burden must...

Since my wonderful friends started this blog, I will now fill it with life. It's not about writing everything down every day, but rather about capturing special moments /...
