We were lucky, extremely lucky, to get this nice "forest cabin", located directly
in the Tsitsikamma National Park. We thought this would be a good place to stay,
and so we booked the cabin for two nights.
|



Situated directly at (like, 50 meters away from) the ocean, all the cabins are
really quiet, except for the clashing of the waves. This, however, is rather
relaxing for us.
|



Here you can see the whole place: camp sites in the first row, and the forest cabins in
the second row. A wonderful setting.
|

At the National Park you will find a number of nice hiking trails. Some of them are
easy-to-hike boardwalks, like this one, which leads to the Tsitsikamma suspension
bridge.
|



A fantastic shot of the Tsitsikamma suspension bridge. A school group was walking
across the bridge, and they populated the whole bridge against the bright background.
|

This is a more conservative shot of the suspension bridge.
|

And a closer look at the bridge itself: While it seems to be quite shaky, it is
fully safe to use.
|



This is the view from the suspension bridge into the Storms River Mouth.
During high season, there are boat tours on the river, revealing more of the
river than you can see from the bridge.
|



Tsitsikamma means "the place of much water". This shot of the coast illustrates why.
|



A view from the visitor center of the National Park. The foaming breakers of the
Indian Ocean have created a magical world of inter-tidal life and reefs,
teaming with color and surprises.
|



And yet another view of the coast. It may be redundant, but I like the shot anyway.

A South African "Dassie" watches the people, waiting for a chance to cross the street.
