RE: The Drakensberg, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa 🇿🇦
Thanks very much! I appreciate that comment especially from someone who has been there and knows the beauty of the place.
Sounds like you’ve lived a good life there! I spent some time in Sodwana diving and then Hluhluwe and Umfolozi at the game reserve which were both excellent!
I went to Sabi Sabi/Elephant Plains a few years back and practically had to beat the big 5 away haha - going to do a Big 5 week next week hopefully with some of my shots from there.
This place I photographed is in Fernwood, there are a few other houses there but you’d never know it, they’re a good distance away from each other in the folds and rolls of the hills.
Hluhluwe, the town was the nearest "civilization" to where I worked. Small game farm pretty much between Hluhluwe and Mkuze.
Sodwana was great, spend a few days in and around there too. Became a bit too commercial. Preferred Kozi Bay. Spent an entire day at the mouth once and saw 8 other people in about 10 hours! Beautiful, and to top it off, there is a small reef in the mouth you can snorkel over.
False bay is another lovely spot. Also very quiet and secluded.
When I did my practical part of my game ranging course, we spent 8 weeks in the Sabi Sands. Skirted around Sabi Sabi but never saw the lodge, we were too scruffy for the guests 😂
You want an experience, sit in the trackers seat on the bonnet of the vehicle whilst lions, leopards, hyenas and more are floating around and try not to jump and run! Experiences I will never forget.
Enjotly the next trip! Hope it's absolutely mind blowing!

Thanks again!
I’ll be back in November, probably no game reserves this time sadly but hoping to head back to the Berg or maybe further north. Would love Sodwana again, we stayed in tiny little huts a drive from the beach, my first time diving and had a sea turtle showing me how to swim and moray eels taking an interest..!
I love the country, can’t wait to be back!
Look out of my Big 5 series next week! 👍
