Apart for Cape Vidal and the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, we can’t think of any other place in South Africa (or the world) where you can end a day of fun at the beach with a fantastic sighting of a leopard walking mere centimeters away from your car window. And that’s exactly how our day played out!

I love leopards, but it is the one animal I always seem to miss seeing. Frustrating.

Then you really should go visit Cape Vidal, Colonialist! Spend the early morning and late afternoon on the loop roads between Cape Vidal and Mission Rocks 😉

Now that’s a lovely crisp shot, not so easy to achieve.

Was nog nooit daar maar vna my vroeër vriendinne het elke jaar gegaan en altyd vertel hoe lekkr en mooi en spesiaal dit daar is. (Net tot St Lucia gewees, dis naaste)

St. Lucia sou jou alreeds n baie goeie idee gegee het van die skatte wat Cape Vidal inhou Ineke. Die woude, die vleie, die strande; als absolute paradys.

Kan my goed indink. Ongerep want die moderne apparate werk nie daar nie.

Baie dankie Aletta. Dis beslis een van ons mooiste bestemmings, en sover dit die de Wets aangaan by verre die mooiste strand in die land!

Love the ‘surf and turf’ beach and bush combo of iSimangaliso. Our daughter did some fantastic horse riding there, one moment riding between crocs and hippo’s, the other galloping on the beach – in the meantime, as parents waiting for her to return, we watched a humpback playing in the surf. No other place in the world indeed.

Terrific memories Maurice!
And precisely the kind of reasons why we return again and again and again….

Agree, I cant stop going back to Vidal, the sea, the bush all in one, and the fact that town is 45 min away is also quite nice
