Hi, I am the face behind the Green Girls in Africa social media and our sustainable tourism blog. I consider myself a total Africa nut, a big Cape Town lover, travel mad since I was a child, eager photographer, zealous travel writer, and passionate about sustainable tourism and conservation. Read more

I feel extremely privileged to live my dream in Cape Town, probably the most beautiful spot in the world. This enables me to do what I love most - to travel around Africa and discover unique, off-the-beaten track and meaningful tourism products. Through my Green Girls in Africa blog I want to share these incredible and often thought provoking experiences. I hope you enjoy my green stories as much as I do.

Four mega cute Francolins in our garden that I am trying to protect from my two kitties. These fluff balls are too much for their kitty instinct to ignore 🙀🙀

A few more Karlos and Ivana pics. They are just too cute and looking so happy. Read their story of sadness and of hope here: https://greengirlsinafrica.com/2019/10/29/a-heartbreaking-lion-story-with-a-happy-ending/

You know when two lion cubs have wriggled their way into your heart when you can't get enough watching them. These guys, Karlos and Ivana, are on a long road of recovery after their rescue by the NSPCA from deplorable conditions at Steinman's breeding farm in Lichtenberg. They have now found the best forever home they could wish for at Panthera Africa. So grateful to everybody who has played a role in their rescue and recovery.

One incredible sunset at @tierkloof_mountain_cottages

Meet Sasha the three-legged #cheetah at @lionsrock_sanctuary. Sasha was born in captivity and subsequently released into the wild, but had not learned many hunting skills. During a hunt he was kicked by his prey and broke his back leg in several places. The vet's only option was amputation, after which he could obviously not survive in the wild. He now enjoys the best captive life possible. It does show that captive bred cheetahs are ill-equipped for survival in the wild.

Many circus tigers are rescued by @fourpawsza and have a forever home at @lionsrock_sanctuary near Bethlehem in the Free State.

Sunday morning for sleepy cats 😻

One of my favourite birds, the mouse bird

This silly kitty decided today the braai was a good little bed...shame about her (not so) white belly and paws 😹😹

Don't be part of the problem. Don't support cub petting facilities or walking with lions. The grim future these tiny cubs face is not worth any #selfie in this world. Be aware that the captive lion population in South Africa is continuously growing. The official figure is 8,000, but it could be as many as 20,000 lions. The death toll in the breeding facilities is high, so consider for a moment how many cubs have died for you to pet this tiny, barely 4 week old cub. It breaks my heart 💔💔
