Why Victoria Falls?

Still, it’s also the gateway to some of the best safari destinations in Southern Africa.  Hwange National Park is close by, and you can be in Chobe, Botswana, in under 2 hours.  It’s also a busy hub that offers more than just the classic bucket list sightseeing features. You can enjoy breathtaking helicopter flights, sunrise or sunset river cruises, safari experiences, rafting and kayaking or Horse Riding through the forest or local villages at Wild Bhiza Stables wildbhizastables.com.

Photo of the Day – Flamingos at the Kabeljour River

Posted on by Lisa Rossiter

The Kabeljous Nature Reserve is a 180 ha area surrounding the Kabeljous River estuary.

It is a very important habitat for water birds, many of which are migratory. Colonies of seagulls and the endangered African black oystercatcher breed in the dunes.

The coastal vegetation provides habitat for bushbuck duiker and greysbok as well.

With golden beaches and the best waves in the world as our back garden, its easy to forget that we enclosed by nature reserves as well.

The Kabeljous River is a magical place and still relatively undiscovered.

Jeffreys Bay photographer Joey Nel rates the Kabeljous Nature Reserve as one of her favourite places to take pictures in nature.
