Dassie on the rocks

The rock hyrax or dassie is not at all afraid of heigths. Balancing on a rock above the crashing waves is its idea of a relaxing spot. Dassies live in groups of up to 80 animals. Their teeth show a pair of elongated upper incisors, which they have in common with their close relative, the elephant.

Ocean view

Hiking the Waterfall trail at Storms River Mouth Rest Camp – which is also the beginning of the Otter trail. After a particularly challenging scramble over the rocks on the beach we took the opportunity to rest in the shade of a large cave. What a spectacular view on the ocean shore!
