A & A Adventures in South Africa

A & A Adventures in South Africa We all want memorable experiences! Our local knowledge is the secret ingredient to make your visit to South Africa unforgettable. Always wanted to visit Africa?

Call us for your personalized tour! Give us a call to personalise your experience in South Africa, specifically the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. We do things differently. Instead of chasing from one venue to the next, we stop, smell, see and feel the heartbeat of the Karoo, a great expanse of semi-desert that hides the most beautiful sights! We explain all the nuances that connect your soul to Mother Nature. Short walks or resting under a Shepard's tree, slow you down to soak up the magnificence of fresh air and breathtaking views.

Some people see water and wonder what fish they might catch. Others see it and simply breathe a little deeper—the rush and tumble of a waterfall, the unhurried flow of a river, the gentle ripple of water as it finds its way over stone. There is something wonderfully restorative about water. Perhaps it is the movement, the sound, or simply the way it invites us to stop, slow down and be still for a while.

Every now and then we're lucky enough to see one of these magnificent creatures, but no geotagging or location sharing on this one please, just admire his magnificence. Mind you, did you hear about the black rhino that escaped after being transferred to a new reserve in the area? He took a stroll along the R63 tar road, decidedly unhappy about his new accommodations. He was located back to the reserve, and seems to have decided that it is, after all, to his liking!

There are so many plants that are nicknamed "Chinese Lantern", and always for their flowers. This is ours. Nymania capensis is also called a "klapper bos". Klapper being the Afrikaans for a cracker, as children love popping the flowers to a (relatively) loud crack! With the stunning winter rains that we've had the plants are thriving, and even the Kudus that absolutely love them, can't keep up.

We're very happy to take you on an adventure experience with the Bloukrans Bungee team, but there is NO WAY we're going to join you!

Fun, if that's your thing 😁

There are a lot of birds that you can say are quintessentially Karoo birds, but the Kori Bustard is one of our favorites, which is why it is our bird of the month for September.

Africa's largest flying bird is a special sighting, always! Did you know that they don't have an actual nest? The female will scrape a hollow directly into the ground, usually near some grass for camouflage, which unfortunately does make them easy prey for predators like jackal (sort of like a coyote). The male does not take part in the raising of the chicks, once mating is over, the female incubates the eggs and raises the chicks all on her own.

You could spend a lot of time (and money) at the Factory Farm stall just outside KwaNojoli (Somerset East), which is why we love taking our clients there for a little distraction...and something to eat of course!

Alan's latest group of fly anglers earlier this month had an incredible time! They caught some beautiful trout, but added to that is the diversity of the fly fishing, and then of course it's never "just lunch".

Alan took this stunning picture of a butterfly on one of his forest walks. When verifying the name of this stunner, we found out that it is exactly the same butterfly that we've seen in our garden over the last couple of weeks, the Garden Acraea. This one however, appears to be a newly emerged specimen, showing its pale yellowish-white pattered wings with the characteristic black spots. The fresh appearance and drying state suggest it has just completed metamorphosis from its chrysalis. You learn something new every day!

A couple of facts about the Kori Bustard:
The male can weigh up to 19 kg (42 lbs)
Males can stand 1.4 m high (4.5 feet!)
They have a wingspan of 2.1 - 2.7 meters (7 - 9 feet)
They don't have a preen gland like most birds, and can't waterproof their feathers, so they take regular dust baths to keep clean.

It is quite surprising that Africa's largest flying bird can be so difficult to spot, and that in the Karoo, which is a semi-desert; but it is their natural habitat and they know exactly how to blend in with the environment! Such majestic creatures, and when you're lucky enough to see them take off...❤️
