Close encounters at Aquila Game Reserve, a private Big 5 conservation experience that’s ideal for families and conveniently positioned just a few hours from Cape Town. As our jeep pulls quietly to a stop, the dull hum of the engine is replaced by an ominous rumbling sound. The source quickly becomes apparent as we spy […] Read more…
“Whoa, what even is this place?” asks my awestruck daughter as we walk past the hulking industrial remains of a grain silo on Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront. “Are we sleeping in a factory?” The short answer is yes. Well, at least it used to be. Once an ugly industrial complex of derelict concrete grain silos, […] Read more…
While we may not be able to visit South Africa in the immediate future, there’s nothing stopping us from inviting South Africa to visit us!

You say samosa, I say samoosa. At least I do after our latest visit to Cape Town, where we shovelled the little golden triangles of savoury spiced goodness down our throats at every conceivable opportunity. The samosa, originally introduced to India between the 13th and 14th centuries by Arab traders as the sambosa, made its […] Read more…
South Africa is a nation that ignites the senses. It’s a place that you smell, taste, touch, hear, see and feel. So much so that after several visits, I’ve become somewhat hooked on South Africa.

“I’m terribly posh” declares a giggling Sugarpuff in her best faux snooty voice as our chauffer-driven car pulls up to a set of imposing gates. It’s a good job she is, as the gates open to reveal an impossibly tranquil garden and our luxurious home for the next few nights, AtholPlace Hotel & Villa. Tucked away […] Read more…
We manage to make it as far as customs before we’re on the receiving end our first chirpy “Howzit?”. Our honest answer? Excited. It’s our first visit to Johannesburg, or Jo’burg as it is affectionately known by locals, and we can’t wait to see what it has in store. Johannesburg may not be the […] Read more…
Hair blowing in the breeze, my beaming water sprite flits fairylike from rock to rock, her white dress billowing behind her as her gaze is drawn over and again to the foaming ocean lapping at the shore. It calls her, as always, but she manages to resist giving in to her usual trick of leaping […] Read more…
Think South Africa and you immediately think wildlife, generally of the large, roaring and mammalian variety. But beyond it’s Big Five – the lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and Cape buffalo – and their equally hefty friends the giraffe, hippo and zebra, South Africa is home to another adorable critter that will barely reach your knees, […] Read more…
