About 150km east of Outeniquastrand lies the beautifully-named Tsitsikamma Reserve. Johannette and Sias had made arrangements for us to stay here with them for two nights, at this, one of their favourite places. Here we have a two bedroomed cabin on a rocky shore, less than 100m from the roaring sea. Nearby are small coves fringed with sandy beaches and the whole place stands with its back against 50m high cliffs. The reserve is run by Sanparks, the same organization that runs Kruger NP and from what we've seen so far, it does a great job of it. Lee and Nick also joined us here but travelled separately, fitting in a surfing session at Victoria Bay on the way. They have their own cosy, compact cabin nearby.
The above pics were taken during a short walk in the Reserve area late this afternoon, just as the sun set on a showery evening. During the walk we also spotted seals, humpback whales and dolphins and then, shortly after we lit the Braii (BBQ) the rain stopped and the Southern Cross shone prominently right overhead.
We're in bed early tonight with the surf roaring outside as it crashes onto the reefs fringing the shore. Hoping to see some otters tomorrow and do some hiking on some of the clifftop trails here.
