Addo Elephant Park in Port Elizabeth

Posted on February 13th, 2010 in nature | No Comments »

We recently visited the Addo Elephant Park in Port Elizabeth, home to hundreds of African Elephant. We parked the car at Hapoor Dam for about 2 hours, and sat watching these magnificent animals coming down to the dam to drink, cool down, and play!

In this 360 degree panoramic photo you can get an idea of how close these elephants were to us, and how big they are. Enjoy!

Suspension bridge over Oribi Gorge

Posted on November 2nd, 2008 in nature | 2 Comments »

This one is not for you if you have fear of heights! This 80 meter long suspension bridge over the magnificent Oribi Gorge, is over 70 meters high! As you cross over the bridge, while it sways back and forth, one can’t but help looking down through the wire mesh floor to the tree tops far below. Nail biting stuff!

Pictured below is the safety of the “other side” of the bridge, know as the Eagles Nest, where yet another magnificent panoramic view awaits. A steel structure perch (it is the Eagles Nest after all) juts out into space, high above the tree tops of the Oribi Gorge below. Sounds of the wildlife echo through the gorge below, monkeys chatter, and a fish eagle flies by (below you!). A must visit!
