On August 18th this year something monumental happened in the world of conservation: the presidents of Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe signed into legal being the Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA TFCA). A 2006 Memora...
Gansbaai is just over 2 hours drive from Cape Town, midway between Cape Point and Cape Agulhas. The landscape is varied and nothing short of spectacular – think dramatic overhanging cliffs contrasted against white sandy beaches, and 1000-year old Milkwood forests. Although this ...
Its so hard to start planning a vacation of neighbouring towns in an unfamiliar city or country when you haven’t a clue of their location, how far they are from the main visitor attractions and what each place has to offer. The best way to get a clear understanding is to compare the two ...

I have never been a keen birder, but on a recent trip to the Delta, I was totally blown away by the abundance of birdlife. From the tiniest, brightly coloured bird to the biggest fish eagle I have ever seen. Here's a pick of my favourite birds - The...
These days not everyone wants to splash out on a 200 guest wedding with all the frills and trimmings, but would prefer making the entire wedding celebration much more of an experience. By this I mean the growing trend to get married overseas;...
Household names like the Serengeti, Chobe, the Masai Mara and Kruger may dominate the safari scene but it's often the lesser known national parks in Africa that deliver the kind of wild, remote and people-less experiences that the bigger parks like to boast about. ...
