This bird, of the species Helicopterus maximus, was parked outside a hotel in Somerset West - a very pretty, leafy area about 40 minutes from central Cape Town. Imagine the convenience of using a helicopter to get around - no more traffic jams, no more robots (that's what we call traffic lights in South Africa), no other drivers doing silly things in front of you... and a beautiful view too!
