Cape town and back - a pictorial road trip
Posted: Tue Feb 02, 2016 8:26 pm
This is not going to be a trip report in the normal sense of the word, merely a collection of bird photos from the places we visited.
Basically, the route was as follows:
We left JHB on the 16th, travelled to the Camdeboo national park, where we spent two nights.
From there to Outdshoorn (via Meiringspoort), where we spent the night at Kango Mountain Resort.
From there to Prins Albert via the Swartberg pass, spending the night at a campsite just outside of town.
From there to Stellenbosch where we stayed for the next two weeks or so.
I managed to visit the Strandfontein sewerage works twice while there, but never got to the botanical gardens during the day-time (although we did carols by candlelight there).
On the way back we spent a night in Karoo national park, and then three nights at a friend who farms near Clocolan.
Camdeboo birds:
Barn swallow:
Chestnut-vented Tit-babbler:
Black-shouldered Kite (with KFR):
