A few quick personal images while facilitating my American clients at Kirstenbosch Garden on Friday morning 26 January 2024.

It was indeed an early-morning privilege to further introduce and share our local fauna and flora with my photography clients from Pennsylvania, United States.

This is not my first students / tourists visit from the US, but it's the 1st-time spending time with any at Kirstenbosch.

I trust to welcome these esteemed tourists back in Cape Town sooner than later.
