Marakele National Park, located in the Waterberg Biosphere in South Africa's Limpopo Province, covers about 670 square kilometres and is home to the Big Four (buffalo do not exist in the park) Big Five as well as sixteen species of antelopes. Contrasting majestic mountain landscapes, grass-clad hills and deep valleys characterize the park. Marakele has two camp sites, namely Tlopi Tented Camp and Bontle Camping Site. Eight new tented units are currently constructed at Bontle Camping Site (scheduled to conclude on 30 September 2013). Vimeo user Peachy Cinema visited the park earlier this month and shot the timelapse video below. Enjoy!

Video: London to Nairobi (Kenya) in 2 minutes

A flight from London in England to Nairobi in Kenya usually takes about 8.5hrs (approx. 6,800km), but not in this video. Vimeo user Doctor Bob Studios filmed the entire flight with his GoPro Hero 2 mounted on the airplane window and created a time-lapse / flight lapse video out of the footage! Safe travels & kudos Bob for the video!

Video: Durban to Mozambique drivelapse

Roadtrips from Durban to Mozambique and/or the Kosi Bay area in northern KwaZulu Natal are actually quite popular among travellers, so if you are planning to drive up there from Durbs, check out the following drive lapse video.
The route in the video goes from Durban northwards along the N2 and the R22 followed by the P522 and is ending up somewhere right behind the Kosi Bay Border to Ponta do Oura in Mozambique! Enjoy!

Video: Cape Town to Tulbagh drivelapse

Tulbagh, located about 150km or about 2hrs north of Cape Town in the Tulbagh Valley, is one of South Africa's fastest growing and most succesfull (in terms of (inter)national awards) wine-producing villages in the country. The village nestles in amongst the Witzenberg, Obiqua and Winterhoek Mountains, which surround it on three sides and provide one of the most beautiful settings in South Africa's Western Cape.
Those who are planning to drive to Tulbagh from Cape Town by car might like to watch the follwing 2min-drivelapse-video as it shows the entire route from Cape Town to Tulbagh filmed from the front seat's perspective of a car. Thx to Rory Allen, who also did the Cape Town to Struisbaai drivelapse video that I posted on the blog last month.
