Kulula #MostSAFlight Ever

A while back I entered the Kulula Most SA Flight Competition which they ran via Social Media and was lucky enough to be selected to be one of the Most South African , South Africans to be a passenger on board this unique flight over Jozi. Whooooooopa this was such a fun concept and event which Kulula put together in true Kulula style.

After being informed that I had been selected for this flight I was asked to arrive at Lanseria dressed in my best of SA fitting to the concept of the flight which I duly did. With my SA rugby shirt,  a jean pant and my trusty RWC 95 SA flag top hat.

On arrival at check in we walked the green Kulula carpet to a warm welcome by the check in staff who where dressed in true SA style. Then we proceeded through to the flight boarding and waiting area where the FUN began. First we had our photo's taken and then we were given wristbands and spent time enjoying the entrainment that has been laid on.

Wow I must say the entertainment was excellent from some serious ball skills by Soccer players, the most amazing guy with his Marionettes, Gumboot dancers, a Contortionist, Colin the Magician and just before we boarded a mini concert from Jack Parrow.

Once on board we all received Padkos packages filled with delectable goodies (Boere Sushi, Sour Mopani Worms, A Larney Sarmie, Boss Apple Juice, a teeeny tiny "you Biscuit", and of course an old SA favourite Koeksisters).

The onboard MC Kurt Schoonraad kept us well entertained for the 1 hour flight over Jozi. When we reached 10 000 m we all sang Nkosi Sikileli I Afrika led by a few of the Wits Choir Members. I must say that this was a moment that made me feel really proud being a South African on the #MostSAFlight. I had goose bumps as this bunch of #MostSouthAfrican, South Africans came together and sang. A truly moving moment being so high up over Jozi with a plane filled with the craziest of South Africans that could be found. An experience to be remember and stories to tell one day in the old age home as we all rock on our rocking chairs. Aahhh such good memories.


On departure from the plane we were all asked to look in the overhead storage where we would find a goodie bag for each of us from Kulula. My did they fill the goodie bag with some truly SA products.
We got Implala Maize Meal, Zambuk, Aviator Sunglasses, a mini Kulula Boeing 737-400 model, NikNax, Klippies & Cola, Aromat, Shisanyama, Rooibos Tea, Peppermint Crisp, Ouma Rusks all packaged in a bright green Kulula Shoulder bag / cooler bag.

A huge thank you to the Kulula Peeps who made this possible, an event to be remembered, that you guys pulled off in true South African Style with the craziest bunch of #MostSAFlight peeps ever.

Arav & Shriya turn 3

I've known Arav and Shriya from when they were still tiny little newborns at their sisters 3rd Birthday which I shot. I've since done their big sisters 4th, 5th and 6th Birthday Parties and now had the pleasure of doing their 3rd Birthday. Arav and Shriya  have blossomed into the sweetest pair of toddlers with shy smiles and cute giggles who are doted on by big sis Dhiya. They had their Party at Elfs Hill in Chartwell which I think is one of Jozi's best kids party venues. 

The day was wet and rainy with the potential to dampen even the hardiest of 3year olds but this lot proved hardier and played up a storm in the rain. Kudos to their parents who took the rain in their strides and said let them be kids and play in the rain. Off came the shoes and socks and out they went to play and at the end the mum's had a dry set of clothing so they all went home dry and warm :)









































































Thank you Natasha for booking me to capture the next chapter in your awesome kids lives, you are blessed with Dhiya, Arav and Shriya.
