Most people have heard of Fynbos. We know it’s unique, we don’t always understand why, but we like the look of proteas and believe the experts when they say it’s important to conserve and protect these plants. Even UNESCO has pitched in by declaring the Cape Floral Kingdom a World Heritage Site. One of the [...]
Many South Africans take rock art for granted, but if you stop and think about it for minute…….these paintings are extraordinary . The Mona Lisa was painted about 500 years ago and today hangs in a climate controlled secure room in Paris. These paintings at Alfred’s Rock in the Mapungubwe World Heritage site were created [...]

At last the weather in Cape Town has cleared up – and we’ve had a chance to dust off the equipment and shoot some panoramic pictures – and we got an interesting one of Rhino’s to start with. (Like all of our pictures, this one is 360º and interactive. Click and drag to look around) [...]
