And so it is time for another road trip. Leaving early, we headed south negotiating the roadworks that seem to never end on our roads. We stopped to appreciate the views on the pass and as always, the compulsory padstal or two. Only in South Africa can roadside coffee shops be called Frikkie se G*t and Ronnie’s S*x Shop 🤣

We arrived in Barrydale in good time for sundowners on our verandah at the Karoo Art Hotel. Dinner in the cosy bar was rounded off by Chef Derek’s famous Jan Ellis pudding. To say more would be to spoil the treat, go there and enjoy it!

The next day we spent wandering the tiny village. From the Oukerk, built in 1877, and now home to the Antiques Shop, to the gardens of the newer NG Church, trawling the shelves at the House of Books (even the bath has books on it!) and stopping for lunch at the Blue Cow at the Waterfront. No you did not read it wrong, the “waterfront” is the lily pond in front of the restaurant 😂😂 We had a milkshake at Diesel and Cream, and a final stop at the Barrydale Hand Weavers. We passed on the offer of Cape Brandy tasting at the Joseph Barry Distillery and we also politely declined the early morning river swim - but when we return in warmer weather, those will both be in my list of things to do!

Another delicious country dinner (Karoo lamb curry and lamb salted ribs) with live music in the bar, made for a wonderful second evening before we continued on our way the next day.

If you are looking for a getaway for a few nights, Barrydale is both a worthwhile destination and also a great place to break your journey on the R62. Each room at the Karoo Art Hotel is uniquely decorated, the staff really do care that you are enjoying your time, and as for the Jan Ellis pudding…. well, say no more!

Dinner is an incredible, gastronomic feast. With the focus on sustainability and community empowerment, the kitchen uses only the very freshest ingredients, sourced as close to Grootbos as possible, with many coming from their own organic farm on the reserve. And to accompany this culinary experience, is a wine list of which any sommelier would be proud. Carefully chosen, and with suggestions to pair your choice of food to an accompanying wine, just one look in the wine cellar proved that you need to be here for two to three nights to do justice to everything on offer. Every plate of food served up at your table is a perfect, colourful piece of art. I didn’t even want to eat my dessert as it meant destroying the beauty on my plate.

After breakfast, another feast to be lingered over and not rushed, we set out on our 4x4 flower safari. Our hugely knowledgeable guide stopped to show us various birds, plants and animals. We spent time in the botanical art gallery and discovered even more details of the diverse fynbos encountered on our safari, depicted in the detailed botanical artworks of the GrootbosFlorilegium.

For South African residents, Grootbos offers their annual “Secret Season”, a special time when the Cape fynbos fields showcase its rich diversity of flora and fauna. Iconic winter sunsets illuminate the fynbos-covered hills with golden hues and the arrival of the Southern Right Whales around June, during their annual migration to warmer waters. It is a remarkable season to experience in the heart of the Overberg with the transformation across the rolling hills of Grootbos as the endemic Erica irregularis flower in abundance, and the annual migration of the whales in Walker bay. Secret Season runs until the end of August, so if you are looking for the ultimate treat, let us book you into Grootbos.

We recently spent time at Grootbos Private Reserve, a luxury eco-reserve outside Hermanus in the Cape, tucked between mountains, forest and sea. Surrounded by an ancient milkwood forest on one side and fragrant fynbos on the other, the reserve offers a unique nature experience. From Forest Lodge’s elevated location, guests enjoy unobstructed 180-degree views of the Grootbos reserve, Walker Bay, and the horizon. In addition to the lodge’s various lounges and bar areas, there is also a deck to watch sunsets over the bay.

We arrived in time for a gourmet three course lunch, which very much necessitated an afternoon walk! You can enjoy a stroll through 1000 year old Milkwood forests or as we did, an energising hike up the fynbos-clad mountain, and you begin to understand what makes Grootbos quite so special. The trails are all well marked and guests can enjoy self-guided walks or choose to do a guided nature walk and learn more about the fascinating ecosystems on the reserve.

Back at the lodge, we decided to explore more of the reserve – this time on horseback! Having a husband and a daughter who rode horses at provincial and national level, I was just so pleased with myself to make the leisurely walk around the reserve without falling off and becoming the afternoon entertainment for the other guests… But it is a different way to see the reserve, and if you are up for the challenge, I recommend it.

Forest Lodge offers a relaxing and tranquil experience. The 16 spacious and exquisitely decorated suites blend harmoniously into the pristine natural environment on this magnificent 3 500 hectare reserve, and provide the perfect retreat to connect with nature while soaking up the stunning panoramic views. Each luxurious suite has been carefully conceptualised, built and furnished. With your own lounge and fireplace, king size bedroom, and ensuite bathroom, comfort and attention to detail are the order of the day. After our energetic afternoon, there could be no better place to be than in my warm bubble-bath with views of a sunset that seemed to go on and on, until finally it was time to climb out and head to the main lodge for predinner drinks and appetizers

Last weekend we paid a visit to Sibuya Game Reserve outside Kenton in the Eastern Cape. Our birding weekend started with an hour boat transfer up the Kariega estuary. This navigable tidal river extends 17km inland. Forest Camp, our home for the next three nights, consists of eight well-appointed tented suites, each with its own verandah area overlooking the river. The camp runs on solar and gas power, so while there is no hairdryer in your room, there is a fireplace which is lit every evening while you are at dinner, so you have a lovely warm tent awaiting you at bedtime!

As with most of the Cape game reserves, Sibuya is a Big 5 reserve, but you are unlikely to find the elusive leopard. As we were there predominantly for birding, we did not go looking for the lions, but we did encounter the other culprits - elephant, rhino and buffalo.

One of the advantages of a small camp is that the daily itinerary can be flexible. With the weather not really in our favour, we opted for slightly later game drives in the mornings and boat cruises in the evenings. Being able to go up or down the river adds a completely different dimension to the traditional game experience. Drifting slowly past a magnificent kudu bull enjoying his morning drink without disturbing him, is a wonderfully satisfying feeling. And of course, with the water, comes a whole varied sector of birds.

We explored the reserve, from the top viewpoint, through the Albany thicket and down to the plains. Our group listed 114 different species of birds, including a juvenile palmnut vulture way out of its normal range. We watched a solemn eagle owl looking for his dinner, and followed the antics of the busy half-collared kingfishers.

Sibuya run a great winter special, stay for 3 nights pay for 2. They are also one of the very few reserves that will allow children under 4 years of age on game drives.
If you are there to be amazed by David Attenborough style game at every turn, this is not a reserve for you. If you want to be in the bush, enjoy the variety of the river, and relax in a comfy lodge, Sibuya may well be an option for you.

29/05/2024

Our next visit is to Quatermain’s 1920’s Safari Camp, an intimate and rustic, 3 Star graded, expedition style tented camp located on the Amakhala (Big 5) Game Reserve between Port Elizabeth and Grahamstown in the malaria free Eastern Cape of South Africa.

Owned and run by Riaan and Julie Brand, this small camp works on back to basics principles of comfy tents and simple meals, with the focus on a quality bush experience. This is not your lodge if you are waiting for your personal butler, rose petal baths awaiting your return from the game drive, and chilled imported champagne at every turn. But if you are going to the bush because you love being in the bush with passionate, knowledgeable guides and personal hands-on management, this is absolutely your place.

With just three tents, each with basic wooden beds and en-suite bathrooms on the deck (make sure you pack your winter woolies if you are there in the cold season!) the attention at Quatermains is rather on the guiding, game drives and the highlight for us, bush walks.

From tracking a black rhino, to walking past a herd of giraffe without disturbing them, the chance to be on foot in a Big 5 reserve is something special. Fuelled by a passion for walking over the last 13 years, Riaan is a FGASA accredited Professional Trails Guide as well as a Specialist Birding Guide.

Meals are enjoyed in the communal boma area, with all food cooked over an open fire. There is no electricity in the camp so bring your head torch although each tent does have a solar light. After an outstanding game drive in the afternoon, we spent time around the dinner table chatting to Riaan, Liam and David our rangers. And when it was time to get up, we were treated to open air theatre. Each tent has a wood-fired hot tub on the deck, so it’s off to our tent, wine in hand, to spend an hour (or two) in deliciously warm water and cold crisp air, gazing at the clear night sky with all the stars.

Quatermains is an incredible lodge without the frills for the bush-mad traveller.

Our road trip continues to our next destination, Karoo National Park for a few nights. Just outside of Beaufort-West, history aficionados should pop into the museum here, dedicated to Chris Barnard, our famous surgeon who performed the world’s first successful heart transplant, born in this little town. The National Park is home to various wildlife, but it’s calling is to your soul and a great place to relax and appreciate the views from the Karoo cottages onto the spectacular Nuweveld portion of the Great Escarpment which runs through the park. The park therefore claims the odd distinction of being partly in the Lower Karoo, at about 850 m above sea level, and partly in the Upper Karoo at over 1300 m altitude.

Heading in the direction of Graaf-Reinet, we upheld yet another South African tradition with a stop at the Kamdeboo Padstal outside Aberdeen for breakfast. Arriving at Samara Karoo Private Reserve later in the day, our expectations of this Big Five reserve in the middle of the Karoo were totally unfounded. Far from being the typical sparse Karoo scrub, the reserve covers 67000 acres, and is one of South Africa’s most diverse safari destinations, comprising five vegetation biomes across strikingly varied topography, home to over 60 mammal species including the Big Five and cheetah, as well as 225 bird species.

Walking with the cheetah followed by breakfast at the top of the mountain, are unique points at Samara and definitely two of the many reasons we will go back. Add in excellent food, dinner under the stars and the friendliest staff, combined with winter local SA resident rates, and this becomes a private reserve that should be on your list.

From Mymering, we headed out of Ladismith (obligatory stop at the Cheese Shop) and through the Seweweekspoort. The road is narrow, winding for roughly 17 km through beautiful vertical folds in the rock, crossing the little river that follows the poort some 23 times. Thomas Bains is a man I hold in high regard, and this is just one more example of his engineering feats peppered throughout South Africa. It’s a spectacular drive,and if you are here in December, you might catch sight of the Protea aristata, a very rare protea that was thought to be extinct until it was rediscovered here during the 1950s.

Back onto the N1, we headed slightly south to Matjiesfontein and our overnight stop at The Lord Milner Hotel. History buffs will still appreciate the background to this tiny town, with its beautifully restored buildings. Sadly the local red bus tours no longer run, and the life-and-soul pianist at the old Lairds Inn, Oom Johnny, died recently, so there’s not a lot left to do other than wander the main road, pop into the museum and spend a moment imagining life as it was there some 140 years ago when James Logan conceived his plan. A charismatic man, James Logan was instrumental in developing the game of cricket in South Africa. One of the first international matches between South Africa and England took place at Matjiesfontein, including in 1894 and 1896, when touring English teams visited South Africa. Logan even staged one of Matjiesfontein’s test matches on the very eve of the outbreak of the Anglo-Boer War in October 1899. Of humorous interest to us was the grave of General Andrew Wauchope in the cemetery outside Matjiesfontein. Killed in battle at Magersfontein, James Logan convinced his widow to part with some considerable cash to build a monument to her husband at the scene of his death. He then appropriated the funds and erected the memorial in Matjiesfontein, of similar pronunciation but nowhere close!! His grave remains along with those of Logan and his family, and George Lohmann, famous English cricketer who spent the last years of his life in the Karoo.

Mymering Guest and Wine Farm a great part of a road trip

23/04/2024

There is nothing as quintessentially South African as a road trip. Having spent three days in Cape Town working at the World Travel Market Africa trade show, we decided it was a good opportunity to enjoy a slow road trip home.

Four hours drive from Cape Town, through the winelands of Robertson and the historic town of Montagu, we arrived at Mymering Guest and Wine Farm, just outside Ladismith. Owned and run by Andy and Penny Hillock, Mymering is a guest house on a working farm nestled in the fertile Dwarsrivier Valley amongst picturesque winelands, abundant fruit farms and the magnificent Towerkop Mountain. It’s a fantastic opportunity to simply relax and recharge on fresh air, pure water, awe-inspiring views, and wholesome food. Andy is a retired surgeon and has many tales to tell over a bottle of homegrown Hillock Wine, and he takes the time whenever possible to take guests on a walk through the farm, sharing his passion for his vineyards. With a spa positioned under a beautiful oak tree, treatments are done outdoors, in tune with nature and the music supplied by the birds. Take a deep breath of fresh air and book here for two nights, or three or four… outstanding food, unique wines, comfortable well-appointed rooms and not forgetting the farm dogs who are always keen for a walk. It’s a highly recommended, off the beaten path getaway. Mymering is about relaxation.

The De Hoop Trail is a guided, fully catered, three night stay at the De Mond Villa in the De Hoop Reserve. Spectacular views, fascinating walks, incredible food and an excellent way to enjoy time with friends or family. You need only pack your clothes, everything else is included. So get your group together and contact Alexa Safaris to book your trail - you will love it!

From Eden Bay in Vilanculos, we chartered a boat for the day. The photos really cannot capture the vastness and beauty of the islands and waters, and given that I spent every minute allowed in the water, there are no photos of our snorkelling. But those pictures will forever be imprinted in my mind - there really cannot be many more special places to snorkel than at Two Mile Reef off Bazaruto. The huge coral trees with their colours and textures and shapes were phenomenal, and the sea life was indescribable.

We landed in a small bay. Our skipper took us off the boat and up the dune. It was like being back in Namibia with this fine red sand dune. It’s incredibly steep, and the children on the boat went up on all fours. It’s that soft running sand where you take one step up and three back as the sand runs under you, but you get there eventually and the view from the top is worth every breath. It’s a 360 degree view of red sand, white sand banks and green and blue waters.

And if the snorkeling wasn’t already the highlight of our day, what happened next was incredible. As we headed out of the bay, Bentu told us to keep our eyes open for sea creatures. We got a fleeting glance of a turtle as it dived deep when it saw us, and as we were almost ready to leave the bay, James spotted him - the shy, elusive dugong! Bentu turned the boat around, but instead of disappearing, the dugong swam along in front of the boat and then he came up for a breath alongside us.

Info and the last photo care of www.Mozambique.co.za
Dugongs and Manatees form the only group of vegetarian marine mammals in the world. Dugongs are directly related to the Elephant. Dugongs swim slowly, foraging in shallow water so hunting is one of the top reasons why they are at risk of extinction. Africa Parks has created a marine reserve around this archipelago with the specific intention of preserving what is believed to be the last viable breeding group of dugongs on the east coast of Africa.

To find a dugong is like the marine equivalent of finding a pangolin,it’s a once in a lifetime experience.

We thought we would be home for ten days, but it was almost a year after we returned from Namibia when we set off on our travels again. Our house sold, our belongings all in storage, our children scattered around the globe, we said goodbye to family and friends. Our plans when we returned, who knows? Discovering where we are going to live and what we will do is part of our journey. People we spoke to fell into two camps - those who were excited for our adventures to follow and those who thought we had now completely lost our minds!

We decided to start in Mozambique, with the hope that either Zimbabwe or Malawi would reopen their borders while we travelled. Entering in the south, we made our way slowly north, staying in forlorn beach towns and fishing villages. Lockdown in Mozambique includes closed beaches so most little villages, that would normally be burstling with tourists, are quiet and mostly closed. We buy fresh hot pao (bread), cold 2M beers, peri peri sauce, cashew nuts, fish and vegetables from the endless street vendors trying to eke a living in any way they can.

One of our early stops is the Reserva Especial de Maputo, a transfrontier park with SA and Swaziland. After many years of significant poaching, the wildlife is slowly returning but the elephants are still not to be taken lightly - they say an elephant never forgets and we have some interesting moments reversing down sand tracks as we round a corner and encounter some of the grumpy giants. It takes us 5 hours to cover 48kms, trying to figure out which sand track to follow. We work on the principal that as long as we are heading north we will get to Santa Maria at some stage.

Santa Maria sits on the inland side of the peninsula, so the lodge suggested we climb the dune to the cross at the top where there is a 360 degree view. Then it was down, down, down the other side to the crabs that have taken up residence on the deserted beach of Ponta De Abril. We walked up the beach, around the top of the peninsular and back down the Santa Maria bay just in time for sundowners and dinner around the fire. And this is why we love what we are doing....

With love from Africa ❤️🦒

And so we left Namibia, arriving home on 20 March, expecting to spend 10 days at home with our children. Ten days became three weeks, became five weeks, became six months. Each week we would update our plans to get back on the road and each week we moved them out further. Eventually we gave up planning…

But the immense positive that came from lockdown, was spending six months at home with three adult children. As they all went to boarding school at age 13, this was the longest time we had all been together at home in ten years. And we made the most of it!

To give you some insight into our family, we are all adventurous, up for fun, and in good South African style, never scared of a chilled glass of wine. We had our own Franschhoek Wine Tram where Murray, our “tram driver” led us around the garden as each of us took a turn to “host” a wine estate. Rebecca and Jessica organized our own Ginbledon Wimbledon with a badminton tournament (and gin!). We had a weekly quiz night with other families via Zoom, a “lumo-themed” dinner party, and of course, there was the obligatory home gym class and running route around the garden.

As the news from around the world of the mounting death toll both alarmed and saddened us, James and I,and our children, made sure to appreciate our time together as we understood more and more the unpredictability of tomorrow. And eventually, this too, did pass and our adventures continued.

Travel with us again as we finally get back on the road, our next stop - Mozambique.

05/02/2024

We left Etosha, and started the slow journey south and home. But first we had to detour via Grootfontein and the Hoba Meteorite. It’s the largest known meteor in the world, and according to scientific calculations is the remains of a shooting star that fell to earth some 85 000 years ago.

The meteor measures roughly 3m wide and long, and stands just under 1m high. It is estimated to weigh 60 tons as it is composed of 82% iron. It’s incredible to look at, as there are areas that have been exposed and it’s pure shiny steel underneath the oxidisation It’s a mind-boggling concept that this piece of rock is the leftover of some giant creation that came from space. Another reminder of just how insignificant we are in this universe.

And further south we headed to the Fish River Canyon, cited as the second largest canyon in the world behind the Grand Canyon. We are at the canyon rim for sunrise. It’s another fine Namibian day, and as the sun clears the skyline, the western edge comes to life. The pale-wing starlings arrive en-masse and they are quite entertaining as they sit on James shoe and chatter away. I find it all quite funny until one poops on my chair... And then as we look, a pair of black eagles fly overhead - what a start to our day!

We spend the next six hours on the 4x4 trail that runs along the eastern rim. It’s only about 20kms long but there are so many spots to stop and get out and take in the scenery. Each view is slightly different but just as awe-inspiring. It’s so incredible that as South Africans, this is on our doorstop and yet so few of us stop to appreciate it.

25/01/2024

Our Namibian trip continued, as we travelled up the Skeleton Coast, then inland and up to Epupa Falls on the border of Angola. We followed the Kunene River east to Ruacana, and then headed down to the iconic
Etosha National Park.
Etosha is green, as far as you can see it’s green, green, green. It’s so strange for us as we have been here twice before but both times in winter when there is no grass and all the animals gather at the waterholes. Now there is water around every corner, some of the park roads are closed completely.
The plains animals love this, and we see literally hundreds and hundreds of springbok, zebra and wildebeest. There are plenty of striking gemsbok (oryx) here too, as well as red hartebees, giraffe and zebra.
We took a drive to the Etosha lookout point where you can drive for 3kms into the pan. The road is roped off and just as well, even when we tried to walk a few steps off the hardened road we sank into the mud. The pan covers about 4500 square km and is the remains of the dried up Lake Etosha from some 35000 years ago. It covers more than 20% of the park.
We spent 10 days in Etosha. For us, being in the park is very definitely a “living in the now” experience. Every day is different, every time you see an animal it’s different, every interaction is different, and it only happens in that moment. From sitting with lions calling for their pride, to watching baby springbok learning to pronk, seeing zebras mating and curious meerkats basking in the sun, Etosha earns its world-class reputation every time.

13/01/2024

As we continued our travels in Namibia, via Walvis Bay to do some birding, our next stop was at Spitzkoppe, “a small group of inselbergs inland of Henties Bay. An inselberg is a small mountain or hill that appears abruptly from flat surroundings and as we approach the area, it’s such a classic example of this. Moments like this make me wish I had taken geography more seriously at school!!!
There are campsites in and around the various rock formations (note for the unequipped - long drop toilet and no water, fend for yourself or stay at one of the incredible lodges in the area). You beetle around until you find a spot you like, so we chose a site where we could watch the sun go down on the Groot Spitzkop mountain, which stands some 1785m high. And then you can either climb the rocks, hike around them, or like us, put up the awning to escape the heat of the afternoon (this is desert after all so trees are few and far between) and enjoy the scenery and the antics of the birds and squirrels that came to visit.
Once the afternoon cooled, we walked up to the Rock Arch, and experienced that feeling yet again of our apparent irrelevance among these rocks that have been here for millions of years. Our first class seats for the sunset were exactly that, and we sat until long after the sun went down appreciating yet another evening in this beautiful country of contrasts.”
There are other stunning rock formations and bushmen paintings to see at Spitzkoppe, this is a must-see area when you are in Namibia.

29/12/2023

After a couple of other stops, we made our way to Sossusvlei,world-famous for its big red sand dunes. The most well-known being Dune 45.

“The alarm went off at 5am in the pitch dark. The temptation to roll over was big, but the thought of what lay ahead bigger. Quietly packing up camp so as not to wake our neighbours, with coffee in hand, we drove out as the gate opened at 5.45. The moon and the night star were still high in the sky, but gradually over the 45kms, the sky lightened and the pink and blue of the dawn began to show. We arrived at Dune45 (so named after its distance marker from the gate!) with only two other vehicles ahead of us. Coffee and rusks in the backpack, we set off up the dune ridge. It’s quite a long slog in the soft sand, and try as you might to put your feet into the footsteps of the person in front of you, the permanently moving sand has other plans and they cover up as fast as you can walk. With a few rest stops enroute, we crested the top as the sun broke.

And were we rewarded for our efforts - it took a few minutes for either of us to speak. The sheer expanse, the height of the dunes, the depth of the floor below you, the light and dark of the sunlight and shadows are an absolute feast for the senses. And yet again, that overwhelming sense of just how absolutely insignificant we are in the greater scheme. Here is this ever-shifting desert, which has been around for millions of years, and will be long after any of us. For anyone with an overinflated ego and sense of self, come and stand here - you will be grounded! We sat on the ridge and oh boy, is that going to be a cup of coffee that James and I will remember forever.

MAJOR bucket list tick - if you haven’t been here, plan it, do it, you NEED to do this! We spent about an hour just sitting and being, taking in everything about this very, very special place and moment in time. It was a slow and quiet trip back to camp and we both processed our morning - what a privilege to have this opportunity”
