Suburb Safari - Growing Interest

Zebra - Original Location: Etosha, Namibia - Current Location: Frans Conradie Drive, Bellville, South Africa

I've received growing interest in my Suburb Safari project since my first post (by looking at the increase in views from my stats) and have decided to share the concept once more for those who are new to my blog or curious to know what this is all about.

I’ve been lucky enough to have travelled large parts of Southern Africa  over the past years and wanted to share some of these experiences with the people living in the Suburbs.

A lot of people living in the Suburbs have a passion for camping and the outdoors. Many venture once a year to places like Namibia, the Kruger National Park or Botswana for a different taste of Africa and to see some wildlife, while others are oblivious to the fact that we are living in Africa.

Similar to going on a game drive, you can now drive down Durban Road for example and maybe spot a Kudu or see a Hyena hanging around the recycle bins. There are also owls sitting on bus stops, hippos in the middle of quiet dams, hawks on look out and many more.

It’s my small expression and effort to bring forgotten parts of Africa back to the suburbs and the secure ‘islands’ we live in.

Up until now I’ve pasted more than 70 posters that are all my own photo's taken during my travels. you'll find them all over suburbia, but predominantly on the main roads. Keep an eye out while driving through Suburbia!


I've pasted mainly in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town (Durbanville and Bellville) as well as a few Hyena's in Kimberley and the central Karoo.
Last night I pasted in Stellenbosch, but I will unfortunately not be going back there soon to document it for the blog. If you're from Stellenbosch or often visit then keep an eye out and you might spot some 'wildlife'.
