Topic: After sunset this Zebra stallion turned the table on two Cheetah cubs who where stalking him. Once they got close he started chasing them. Lesson learned and no harm done.

Happy Anniversary!

The Lavender Moon Guest House is my home away from home in Umhlanga (Durban).

Yesterday, it celebrated its 10th anniversary. The owner, Claire Cocks, took over the guest house in 2016 and has since turned it into one of the best guest houses I have ever stayed in (and I have stayed in quite a lot of them).

I have been a very regular guest over the last ten years, and I am sure I will be back many times in the future.

I can highly recommend it if you are looking for an excellent value-for-money place to stay in the Durban area.

The future of game viewing!

Two days ago, I had the chance to view and test-drive the prototype of the first South African purpose-built, fully electric game-viewing vehicle.

The eGameViewer is being developed and manufactured by Thula Solutions (https://thula.africa/esvhttps://thula.africa/esv).

It was extremely comfortable, very quiet, excellent off-road, and very robust. The animals reacted calmly, contrary to my expectations.

I was most impressed and look forward to driving the production vehicle.

This could definitely be my Green Mamba III soon.
