Wir sind gerade in Dubai gelandet und haben jetzt 2 Std Aufenthalt, dann geht's weiter nach Frankfurt. Ein schöner Urlaub ist zuende. Zuhause laden wir noch ein paar Fotos hoch,...

On the day before departure, we had a 'pool day'. We will have a barbecue tonight and use up the last beer and wine supplies. We will probably write the next blog when we arrive...

Um kurz nach 6 Uhr heute Morgen haben wir den Park unsicher gemacht und Ausschau nach jagenden Löwen und Leoparden gehalten. Leider wollten sich Löwen und Leoparden nicht...

Today we were lazy and spent the day lying by the pool. Now we're about to be served some cocktails and we're feeling good 😎. Later, we'll fire up the grill on our terrace and...

Gestern Morgen haben wir uns das Big Hole in Kimberley angeschaut - aber leider keine Diamanten gefunden 😉. Das Big Hole ist der wohl größte und tiefste von Menschenhand...

After a 10.5-hour drive inland, we arrived in Kimberley. We made a brief stop in Graaf Reinet around noon. There are still quite a few houses from colonial times here, with a...

We often have power outages and rarely have access to the internet. We spent 2 days in Addo Elephant Park. The name says it all, as it is not uncommon to see 30-40 animals at...

At around 11 o'clock we were in Bloukrans. At 12 o'clock, one after the other jumped from the bridge at a height of 216 m. The way to the jumping point was already an...

This morning, the rehabilitation station for wildcats (www.tenikwa.com) was on the program. A 2-hour tour through the wildlife park enclosure with caracals, servals, leopards,...

After a hearty breakfast, we drove to Plettenberg Bay where we strolled through a market with handmade jewelry and carved figures. The girls stocked up on necklaces and...

We took a walk to Thesen Island before breakfast. It's already nice and warm this morning, and we encountered some monkeys along the way 🐒

We are currently (except for Kerstin) nourishing ourselves with dried beef: Sliced Biltong & Snapstix! By far the best snack under the sun!

After breakfast, we drove through Wilderness and Sedgefield to Knysna. Wilderness is quite nice and has an endless long, white sandy beach. Currently, it's too windy to take a...

Have left our accommodation in Mossel Bay and found a café by the shore. BREAKFAST!! 11:30 AM: Now we are continuing to Knysna. We will stay there for 3 days.

Left Cape Town around 4pm and now on the way to Mossel Bay. The roads are easy to drive on. On the sides of the road, there are golden fields and occasionally a few houses and...

Today, we had planned a whale-watching tour, but due to the weather conditions at sea, all outings were cancelled. So, we drove to Cape of Good Hope by car. There, we...

Today we took a city tour on one of those tour buses. Unfortunately, it was very cloudy so we couldn't see the city from Table Mountain. In the afternoon, we took a guided...

Sitting down for breakfast and planning the next few days. It's sunny but cool. The best conditions for a city tour.

Spare Ribs, Wings, Nachos, Jalapeños...

We've finally arrived, the drive here was exciting, we practically had 'Christmas lights' inside the car - okay, the door needs to be closed 😌, driving on the left side of the...

Bis nach Dubai haben wir es schon geschafft, um 5:33 Uhr, bzw. 7:33 Uhr schmeckt das Bierchen schon 😉

First, I had a delicious and expensive beer. It's about to begin.

It's Saturday, 1:55 PM, finally sitting in the packed car on the way to Solingen to Astrid & Christian. Then we will continue together to Frankfurt. And tomorrow evening we...
