Great year we've had...
Uttered as proof that irony is one of the few things not taken from us in 2020. But some things will never change. Greater Knysna and its surrounds is still as exotic as it sounds: a magical jumble of interlinked lagoons fringed by emerald forests and endless spreads of sandy, surf-hugging expanses.
Here where the largest closed-canopy forest on the African continent plays host to the only forest elephant in South Africa and the estuary remains the exclusive home to the 40-million-year-old endangered Knysna seahorse, an equally rare pansy shell, as well as the world-renowned but elusive Turaco (Knysna Loerie).
Welcome back!
O my, what a year this has been!
2020 has been challenging to say the least. We are all in need of a peaceful holiday with family and friends whom we haven’t seen much of.
Make this holiday season about celebrating the little things in life that bring us joy. If I have learnt anything this year, it is to make every moment count.
I won’t be travelling much as all I need is right here, and in the time of Covid-19 the great outdoors is the best option.
Hope you create wonderful memories.
Merry Christmas and God bless.
