Durban beaches

Durban is Always a Good Idea

February 28, 2017 · by Bushbaby · in Getaways, Outings

A getaway to Durban is quick and easy… and always a good idea. Durban (and its KZN surrounds) has my heart. During our 4 giddy years living in Durbs we got to know her well. As Joburgers’ by birth and…

Cheetah at Amakhosi Safari Lodge

Greeting Cheetahs at Amakhosi Safari Lodge

February 7, 2017 · by Bushbaby · in Getaways, Published Stories, Reviews, This is KZN, Travel Tales, Wildlife

There’s a River on My Stoep

There’s a River on My Stoep

June 19, 2016 · by Bushbaby · in Getaways, Reviews

I’m a big fan of celebrating special occasions with a getaway. Our most recent reason (or excuse) to get away was our 2 year wedding anniversary. We found our idea of hideaway perfection in a private little wooden cottage on…

May 15, 2016 · by Bushbaby · in Getaways, Outings, Wildlife

A family long weekend away in Mpumalanga made way for a sneaky Kruger Park day trip as part of it. What a wonderful way to spend a day. My happy place! I have a few and add to my list…

An Escape to Magaliesberg

An Escape to Magaliesberg

February 7, 2016 · by Bushbaby · in Getaways, Outings, Reviews, Travel Tales

The need to get out of town was strong. So we searched and found a quick getaway spot; in a stone cottage on a hill in the Magaliesberg countryside. Doggie-friendly too of course. It was just right. The city was…

Walking the wilderness trail in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park

August 16, 2015 · by Bushbaby · in Getaways, Reviews, Travel Tales, Wildlife

It was more than just a walk in the park. The 3 day Short iMfolozi Wilderness Trail was an experience that freed our souls and connected us to the African bush. We can’t describe the feeling of surrendering to the iMfolozi…

“Snow’s coming to KwaZulu Natal” they said! So we went snow hunting in Underberg and it found us! We don’t usually need an excuse for a spontaneous weekend away, but this time we had a good one. Whisperings amongst weather…
