CHRISTMAS IN THE BERG
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.
Birding
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.
Here are the dates for the next two three-nights-stay-birding-weekends at Pakamisa:
- 13 to 16 February 2026
- 27 to 30 November 2026
If you are interested you can contact Pakamisa directly at res@pakamisa.co.za / +27832291811.
Looking forward to seeing some of you at one of the next birding weekends 🐦
