• Swartberg Pass
  "One of the beat of the best!"
  "During a recent stay in Prince Albert, we went across the pass three times. It is one of the most inspiring and beautiful passes in South Africa. The road is fine, and the views change continually from deep ravines to amazing views across the farmlands to the Outeniqua mountains. There are some w..."onderful day walks over and above the longer trails. One thing to remember is that you need a permit obtainable from the Cape Nature offices in Oudtshoorn if you wish to hike. If you have time, don't miss the road into Gamkaskloof, Die Hel, but do allow at least six hours for this side trip! " More >
• The Blue Train
  "A luxury train fantasy come true!"
  "My wife and I just returned from a truly unforgettable 28 hour trip on board The Blue Train. From the moment we pulled into the train station in Cape Town until the moment we drove away from the station in Pretoria, everything exceeded my expectations. I must admit that I was a bit worried that ..."this trip was not going to live up to the hype. I have been wanting to take a journey on board a luxury train for decades and was afraid that it was not going to be as enjoyable as I hoped. There was no need for worry.

We had five suitcases (as we were on a three-week tour of Africa) and three suitcases were to be taken to storage while two went to our cabin. Our porter, Albert, escorted my wife and me to the front desk of the beau... " More >
• Drakenstein Lion Park
  "Some people are missing the point....this is a sanctuary..."
  "..... Not a place to entertain humans because that is exactly what the beautiful creatures that live here have been saved from. I have been here four times, sometimes I have seen very little but it is enough to know that the people who run this place have gone to extraordinairy efforts to rescue the..." lions from pitiful existences and do so out of love and not financial gain....It is not expensive to enter the park so accept that your fee will go towards ensuring the SANCTUARY of these animals and is not a ticket for you to watch a parade of animals at whim. A sanctuary is exactly that, somewhere the lions feel safe and can hide in the grass for long hours because that is what they do..... If your kids are disappointed.... You are missing the entire point of Drakenstein in my opinion..... " More >
