I had a very good weekend in the Drakensberg Mountains’ Champagne Valley. I stayed at the very pleasant Dragonview Lodge, attended four excellent Drakensberg Boys Choir concerts, and for the first time took a very scenic balloon ride.
I am planning to be back next year for another DBC Christmas in the Berg festival weekend!
Feel free to contact me for more information about the Drakensberg Mountains and its many great activities on offer.
This is a slide show with a few of the pictures from our recent Birding Weekend at Pakamisa Private Game Reserve. We spotted more than 100 species of birds. Chamu, Pakamisa’s excellent birding guide, and myself enjoyed hosting the event.

13 to 16 February 2026
27 to 30 November 2026

Looking forward to seeing some of you at one of the next birding weekends 🐦
We had a great birding weekend at Pakamisa (www.pakamisa.com) with six birding game drives and two photography lessons. I enjoyed co-hosting this special event and am already looking forward to the next one!

From 2002 to 2017, it served as a regular double-cab, and in 2017, it underwent a conversion into a game viewer with just seven seats. It was primarily utilized for photography safaris and it became well known as the “Green Mamba One”.
