| Giant strelitzia at Natal National Botanical Garden near Pietermaritzburg, as well as weaver birds weaving, protea sightings and a 100-year-old avenue of plane trees. Sunshine and blue skies at Durban Botanic Gardens, along with collections of cycads and tree ferns, amazing flowering trees, avenues of palms, spoonbills nesting, pelicans resting, white-faced ducks posing, moorhens tending their young. A cruise on the St. Lucia Estuary along the Zululand coast, where crocs snooze, rousing only to hiss as we pass, and hippos lurk in the shallows, while kingfishers and storks and herons keep watch on the fish. |
