Manzini 34 is the address of our Townhouse in St Lucia, South Africa. The place has been thoroughly renovated from top to bottom, and there are new furnishings in all rooms. This 80 sqm Townhouse consists of two bedrooms, a big lounge area, a fully fitted kitchen, a bathroom and a 70 sqm private garden. On the veranda (picture above) the ‘African roof’ provides you with some shade. Most welcome to Manzini 34 and to follow the progress on this blog! /Daniel & Chris

Big 7 around the corner

South Africa being the only country that hosts both the widely known big 5 (Elephant, Rhino, Leopard, Lion and Buffalo) plus the top up with Southern Right Whale and Great White Shark.

For the very first time we completed a Big 7 encounter during one single visit to South Africa. We started off doing the Garden Route from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth with a short stop in Gansbaai to tryout Whale watching, but we ended up having a close encounter with a great White Shark too! Exciting is an understatement!


Breakfast at Maphane Hide in Imfolozi Game Reserve

The lucky game drives in Imfolozi gave us the opportunity to get in close contact with large Buffalo herds, Lions and Elephants just an arm’s length from the car. Back in St Lucia and driving around in iSimangaliso we came close to Rhinos and Leopards. Impressive animals all 7 of them, but nothing can outdo a Leopard spotting at a close range before breakfast…
