Earlier in October I had the immense pleasure of hosting long-time blogging friend John Steiner (of Journeys with Johnbo), his wife Lynn, John’s niece Patricia and her husband Gary on a tour of Cape Town and the Kruger National Park.
On our first day together I spent quite a bit of time with the Steiners and Broesders exploring every corner of the Cape of Good Hope section of the Table Mountain National Park. We took the funicular up to the lighthouse at Cape Point, had lunch at the Two Oceans Restaurant, and took in all the scenic sights and interesting wildlife from the excellent road network.
I am a fully accredited and legally registered tour guide (with all the necessary insurance, professional drivers license and first aid certification) – don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like me to arrange a guided tour of Cape Town’s natural attractions and the rest of South Africa for you as well.

We were really pleased to find ourselves at the Cape of Good Hope with you, Dries! It wasn’t something we expected. Those ostriches were also something I would have never guessed we’d see.
I’ve seen the ostriches on the beach a couple of times now, John, and it still thrills me! I’ll never visit the Cape of Good Hope again without thinking of the 4 of you.
Thanks! That means a lot to me!
Jou blogging vriende moes ‘n wonderlike tyd saam met jou gehad het! Wie beter as jy om hierdie mooi plekke vir hulle te wys. Ek’s mal oor die foto van die volstruise op die strand.
Baie dankie vir die gawe kommetaar, Corna – ek waardeer dit opreg!
That bladder grasshopper looks smart; our hadedas are calling loudly as I type!
I read somewhere yesterday that hadedas have the second loudest voice of any bird. While I took that with a pinch of salt it did remind me that we’re lucky to have a bird whose call can drown out the sounds of the city!
Lovely scenes and shots. I don’t think I have ever seen an ostrich strolling along a beach!
Thank you, Donna! Seeing animals and birds like ostriches on the beach makes the Cape of Good Hope special even by South African standards!
