EXSTREME GETAWAY

We recently visited the Lake Eland in south coast of KwaZulu Natal in South Africa.To get their we took a flight to King Shaka airport,where we rented a vehicle and drive for 151 km to Lake Eland.The drive took us one and half hour. Lake Eland was very quiet and peaceful with amazing views and landscape on offer.Our chalets was very clean and had beautiful views of the dam.The chalets are self-catering but there is a restaurant that operates until 4pm which serve amazing meals which offer great value for your money. Lake Eland was spectacular with so many activities to fill our weekend with. From Fishing, stunning Mountain biking trails,Scenic walking trails to Game Drives and so much more.The best part of the stay was the very exciting ziplines and extreme Zipline for the more adventurous people.This Zipline was the longest in Africa with most amazing views below. We also saw the caves and the suspension bridge which has stunning views of the Oribi Gorge.On our game drive we saw zebra's, blouwildebeest and blesbok.All the staff at Lake Eland was friendly and always so helpful which made our stay their so amazing. We will definitely be back. Address - D219 Oribi Flats East Oribi Gorge Port Shepstone, KwaZulu Natal South Africa #deliciousfood #couplestrip #awesomepic

Sandy Penguins 🐧

If you are in Cape Town, South Africa you need to stop by Boulders Bay and see the cute penguins! They are free penguins waddling around and enjoying their life. They take turns taking care of the egg and going to swim. When I went there were lots of babies and eggs. The area does smell a little bit what do you expect it’s the wild! It’s super great to see the animals interacting in their own environment! #penguins #capetown
