My 100th Blog Post

In February 2009, I posted my first blog post on Suneé Sees the World. Back then the blog was still called Wish You Were Here, a name I changed later on when I started learning a bit more about SEO and Google search ranks, and decided to start making things a little more personal. Although I still think the original...

My 7 Links – Favourite Blog Posts

Heather Cowper’s blog, Heather on her travels, was the first travel blog I started following once I realised a) there is such a thing as blogging and b) people were blogging about travel! So it came as a very pleasant surprise to find out that she tagged me in Tripbase’s My 7 Links challenge. Thanks Heather! It’s given me the...

Hiking Towards Mushroom Rock

You might think with all the camping we do, that Gareth and I are real outdoors people. We’re not. In fact, over a normal weekend you’ll most often as not find us either playing on the PC, vegging in front of the TV, or quietly reading a book. Which is probably why we enjoy it so much when we do...

Clarens: A Small Town with a Big Reputation

On our second day camping in the Drakensberg mountains in Golden Gate Highlands National Park, we woke up to an overcast sky and decided to head to Clarens for the day. Only a quick twenty minute drive from our campsite, we arrived early enough to still find a good parking spot in this bustling little tourist town. Well-known as an...

Birthday Breakfast with the Birds

Yesterday was my birthday and Claudette, one of my best friends since primary school days, treated me to breakfast at the Blue Crane restaurant inside the Austin Roberts Bird Sanctuary in Muckleneuk in Pretoria. We arrived there just as the restaurant opened at 7:30 and was ushered in from the cold to sit by the fireside, warming our frozen fingers...

A Drive Through Golden Gate Highlands National Park

Our first day in Golden Gate Highlands National Park was icy cold, but had a bright blue sky that was perfect for exploring the mountains and the views offered by a drive through the park. Although part of the Drakensberg mountain range, we didn’t get to see any really impressive peaks – I think those are mostly on the Natal...

Camping in Golden Gate Highlands National Park

The last four days of our Easter break this year was spent at the Golden Gate Highlands National Park, which is the closest bit of the Drakensberg mountains if you’re coming from Gauteng. It’s situated in the Free State and was about five hours’ drive for us, which is really not that far if you think about it (I spend...

Shattered Nerves on the N3

The wet Easter weekend weather let up long enough early Monday morning for us to pitch our muddy tents and set out on the next phase of our holiday. We said our goodbyes to Franco and Lizelle, promising to do this again soon, and programmed the GPS for our next destination: Golden Gate Highlands National Park. I had finally managed...

Nuts for Cheeky Chipmunks

Coming face to face with one of the Big Five when exploring a game reserve is always exciting, but sometimes it’s even more fun when you encounter the smaller denizens of the wild. The story is almost familiar: while driving around in the Krugersdorp Game Reserve, a car ahead of us has stopped and we can’t find what they’re looking...

Food for a King

Ten o’clock on a Sunday morning, instead of lying in a little later than usual, visitors to the Krugersdorp Game Reserve are already positioned in strategic places within the lion enclosure to get the best view of the animals being fed. The enclosure contains a few smaller camps and one large open field, each area housing a pride of lions....
