Scottburgh

There are some places you would never believe existed unless you get out there and go check them out. Some of the best memories and worst are all created in a place we will remember for life these are some of the place that make me love every place I have ever been.

Warner Beach, Natal, South Africa ( Will profile this beach later)
The place we are born and grow up is one of the best and sometime the worst place to remember.
I have fond memories of the places I went to as a kid and then some places I never want to go to again. One place I loved to go with my family was called the Lido in Umkomaas it was basically a huge pool with lunches that were served around it. I spent many a Sunday there with my whole family enjoying the water and swimming with my new buds every week. All good things come to an end and the place closed down and life moved on.

Scottburgh

Scottburgh was another great place and still is today. It has an amazing beach with a super tube and some great restaurants right on the beach. I remember my Grandparents taking us to sit in the car overlooking the beach before church service on Sundays. The beach also had braai areas to the right with a train that would take kids for rides around the park. When you there today there are many amazing walks to the left towards Durban and to the right towards Margate. I remember surfing one of my first contests there and the waves were huge at Black beach and I can remember how afraid i was of gettting smashed out there.
This Gem on the South Coast of Durban has many attractions and is a holiday mecca to many Vaalies ( people who lived in Johannesburg).
There is a camping site there where we as kids would catch the train to and stay over and have some amazing time building fires on the beach and surfing our days away. There is a cool rock pool there too which we spent many hours in.
There have been many changes to this area over the years but every time i return  I am never disappointed. I am glad I got to spend some quality time at this place I think if you can visit this place is a must.

Titties Baai

Now this little treasure we found later in life and also the start of our camping ventures as a family. This is still one of my favorite camping sites to go to. It is very basic as in no electricity. The best part about it is that you can still find a site that is right close to the waters edge. If you like place with very few people and can get leave out of season this is the place to go. The camp site is in Paternoster in the Western Cape on the West Coast. The village of Paternoster is a small fishing village with their main income source is crayfish. This is also good for visitors and campers as you are allow to dive out 4 crayfish in season if you have a license.  So when camping here you can dive crayfish out right in front of your campsite and have a braai of fresh seafood in minutes of catching these delicious creatures. The place is almost completely empty out of season but does get very full in season. I prefer to not camp at the main campsite but away to the rig...

Gondwana Private Game Lodge

If you want to enjoy 5 star Game Lodges and seeing the big 5 then Gondwana private game lodge is the place for you. From the time you arrive you feel like you are at one of the best hotels in the world. The staff are super professional and the food which is all inclusive is next level. The lodge is set in a mountain range which on arrival seems very remote. Well it is nothing but amazing we were blown away by the amazing architecture of the buildings that blend into the area. Our room or should i say 3 bedroom house was huge and next level comfort. 3 rooms all with on suite bathrooms and all has amazing views over this mountainous range. You can pack in alot of adventure which I love to do or you can just chill with your favorite glass of wine and a great book. Game drive are a plus as they have the big 5 on our first game drive we got so close to 5 lions that i was able to tick off another bucket list achievement.
