I AM WATER believes in Ocean Conservation through transformative human ocean experience. Those who have opened their eyes underwater, those who have seen the beauty, the majesty, the great marine creatures of the world beneath the waves will learn to love and to protect!

Their mission is to ignite a movement of blue minds across the planet, to facilitate physical and emotional connections to the aquatic environment, to build understanding of the interdependence of healthy humans and healthy oceans and to influence behaviours to protect our global seas.

I am Water is especially passionate about working with under-resourced coastal communities where, despite living walking distance to the shoreline, we often find young people who have never seen the world just beneath the waves.

So stoked to share what we have been working upon the past few years.

Check out our new website (link in bio)

RECONNECT THROUGH TRAVEL

If the last year has taught us anything it’s to live more consciously, with more awareness and respect for our environment. To value wellbeing, not only our own and that of our loved ones – but of the planet’s too.

This humbling awareness has Travel Designer ever more focussed on the things that matter. Committed to bringing people closer to nature and heeding their call to reconnect through travel.

Our collection of uniquely curated and soulful conservation-themed journeys promise an experience of a lifetime – while contributing positively to the host communities and projects you visit.

The Oranjezicht City Farm (OZCF)

About nine years ago Sheryl Ozinksy had a dream to convert an old derelict bowling green into a community farm. It was the start of an incredible journey that involved lots of red tape and bureaucracy, yet with the support of the community and volunteers the market garden was established, becoming so much more than that along the way.

‘This is all about the food system that is broken, with most people eating unhealthy food and with fresh food really expensive. How can we repair that and make good nutritious healthy food that is grown organically available to people that live across South Africa. ‘Food is a human right, but it is the only one where there is no policy to implement this right.’

The Oranjezicht City Farm (OZCF) is a non-profit project that in turn has put back 9 million Rand in support of farmers, supplying them with vehicles, guidance and infrastructure that in turn allows their farms to be more productive, and means they can employ more people. The decision to open on Sundays and Wednesday nights too has equated to an additional 100 jobs, which is remarkable.

The Transkei Wild Coast South Africa

Once upon a time, before we had electricity in our homes, the Kalk Bay fisherman would be out at sea in the blustery weather, battling with their snoek-catch by candle light. Under the moonlight when the weather was fine some fisherman would talk of seeing two figures out on the rugged beaches. One fisherman said it was the partially sighted hermit lady and her only companion, an African penguin, guiding her to forage for their breakfast. Another rumour was that she occupied an abandoned and unseen fishing cottage right on the tip of Cape Point. A madened runaway had been out there once, hiding in the fynbos. He said she was 'everybody's mother' and he had seen her in the nighttime making new stars from her cauldron.

We are so stoked to be featured with our new baby on ‘s article “A new dawn for South Africa as restrictions ease on .

“Luxury redefined: your own space, at your own pace”

For the biggest view – an awe-inspiring swathe of some 400 billion twinkling pinpricks – it’s worth planning a few days in the Cederberg, a two-hour drive north of Cape Town. These semi-arid mountains have long been the preserve of hard-core hikers and campers, but a choice of new experiences is now on offer. Top of the list for adventure-seekers is a bespoke guided trip by Ozzy Yerlikaya. His programme is flexible, but will include at least two nights’ glamping in stone-and-thatch shepherds’ huts at Bakkrans, a new private concession in a surreal landscape. This is rustic luxury, with five-star linen and mind-blowing food, and exclusive: guest numbers are limited to eight (traveldesigner.com; costs vary depending on numbers and programme).

THE GREAT MIGRATION

One common misperception is that ‘the migration’ connotes the renowned wildebeest river crossings. This, however, is only a small part of their annual migratory cycle. There is also the birthing season, the rut, and of course their movement up the length of the Greater Serengeti Ecosystem, and back.

Their reach spans Kenya’s Masai Mara at its northernmost tip, the full stretch of the Serengeti, and all the way down to the limits of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in the south. Alex Walker’s Serian camps are situated to make the most of the two main spectacles: the river crossings, and the birthing season.

The Karoo

I only came to know the Karoo by feeling it. A wonder of endless veld, ancient rock formations and infinite skies. KAROO RANCHING encapsulates the warm hospitality of this magnificent place, making adventure and reflection a part of everyday life.

I think back to thundering horse rides, grasses drenched with golden light, hot coffee in cold hands, roostekoek, stories around the fireside, bonds and friendships formed. This truly is the heartland and we are forever grateful to have been welcomed in.

Bakkrans

There are still places in the world where time slows down. That are wild and remote. That are free from distractions and interruptions. That provide clarity and respite and hold a vast promise of discovery.

Justin Bonello and Ozan Emre Yerlikaya are proud to introduce Bakkrans.

This exclusive 6000ha concession in the Cederberg borders onto a World Heritage Site and is a unique wilderness offering in the rugged Rooi Cederberg Karoo Park.

Time has been hard at work here, as if some ancient cosmic wind once howled across the landscape, carving out sandstone mountain ranges that are home to a great variety of plant species, indigenous game and birds including the Cape Mountain Zebra, Oryx, the world’s smallest tortoise and leopards that are known as ghosts.

The concession’s earlier human history is captured in rock paintings that are thousands of years old and artefacts that are thought to date back at least 100 000 years have been found here. The accommodation is limited to a maximum of 8 guests in traditional thatched, stone-walled, veld cottages that are furnished to reflect the lifestyle of the herders who stayed in this area during a bygone Cape frontier era.
Bakkrans is far removed from any tourist lodges or residences, offering guests total peace and seclusion while hiking, mountain biking, game driving or simply unwinding. It is one of the few places left in the world that's a truly authentic, off the grid, zero-connectivity experience; a space that assures exclusive respite.

For more information and bookings contact Travel Designer [email protected]

Special thanks to Simonè Henckert of Bare Africa Design, Auto Excellence, Melville And Moon and Alu-Cab: Ultimate Overland Products for their incredible supports
