South Africa's Garden Route - Pt Elizabeth to Cape Town

 

Cango Ostrich Farm at Struisbaai South Africa was one of many extraordinary experiences along the Garden Route from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town.
My traveling companion "Ron Bearassi" (named after AFL Melbourne legend Ron Barassi) had a wonderful time viewing elephants, ostrich, tortoise, coastline scenery and rugged countryside.  

However he had to leave the tasting of amazing cuisine up to me .....

Addo Elephant Reserve - up close encounters.

A curious giant tortoise on the roadside

Helping to demonstrate how strong Ostrich eggs are, although "Ron" doesn't weigh very much

An Ostrich ride - so exciting for a little bear.  I left the activity up to "Ron" as someone had to capture the moment!

On a camping adventure lunch can be very basic yet substantial to keep you going until dinner.

Snacks along the way

Sizeable Beef Steak

My little friend "Ron" and I had a wonderful time exploring South Africa's picturesque Garden Route

Trying on an Ostrich Boa was a bit of fun!!
