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.

Mountain Sanctuary Park - 30-12-2008

As an extended family we visited Mountain Sanctuary Park on 30 December 2008. It is about 120Km from Pretoria in the Magaliesberg mountains. Well, not high up in the mountains anyway. Here are the pics from that trip.

The picture above is of the Buffelspoort Dam. That should give you an idea where Mountain Sanctuary Park is situated.

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!
