Cape Town Trip November 2011

The weather in Cape Town was just perfect when we went to visit at the end of November 2011. We were lucky enough to visit the Robben Island Museum as well. I think that all South Africans should visit this museum at least once in their lifetime.

Another great weekend at Nambiti

We spent a wonderful weekend at Nambiti Falls with the whole family and Heidi and Chris to put up with all of us :) We were lucky enought to see 4 of the big 5 as well as some other really amazing sights. As always it was a super weekend and we look forward to going back as soon as we can.

So we had a lovely time at Nambiti, near Ladysmith in KZN - here are some of the photos of some of the many animals running around the reserve. Greg - I hope that I got the right Lion pics for you :)

Hooray, finally a blog

The idea of this blog is to try to showcase my photography work, and to show my family in other parts of the country what I have been up to.
