"Sweet beginnings" "Chapman's Peak drive is probably the most beautiful and scenic road in the Cape. After visiting this location so many times, I finally got the light I wanted. It lasted about 20 seconds, as the sun broke through the clouds and lit up the cliffs and Sentinel Peak in the distance." Sometimes hours on a trail lead to a few perfect seconds that will stay with you for weeks. There is gold in those mountains. 📸 and caption @stuartbellamy_photo #hikemzantsi #hikingsouthafrica #capetown #houtbay #karbonkelberg #tablemountainnationalpark #thisiscapetown #chapmanspeak #chapmanspeakdrive

“I think it’s really important to not be afraid of failure and push yourself to try things and jump into the cold water.” Well, that could be one or many things, but we concur: when in doubt take that step out! Summer is coming and the northern rock pools will be so fine! (Please adhere to basic safety protocols like testing the depth of the water, jumping feet first etc). 📸 @life_spirit_pics at Klipdraai #hikemzantsi #hikingsouthafrica #rockpool #wolkberg #klipdraai #limpopo #whenindoubt
