Jan Cilliers Park - 24-03-2012

Right after I took the pictures at the Austin Roberts Bird Sanctuary, I drove up about 1Km to Jan Cilliers Park, where I took some pictures of this beautiful park with its well laid out gardens and plants. The coordinates for the park are: 25° 46’ 44.05’’ S 28° 13’ 26.89’’ E. Also see the map following:

The park is beautiful and worth visiting, even if it is only for a picnic. It is very serene, with beautiful trees and plants and also a large man-made fishpond and streams. Check out the pics below.

MonteCasino: Gardens, etc

MonteCasino Bird Park's gardens are quite stunning. Almost like a little Eden.







It is not just birds at the MonteCasino Bird Park. They have other creatures too!
