During my time in Cape Town, I connected with Acacia Africa. The overland tour company provided me a half day tour of the city highlighted by a visit to the District 6 museum. Afterwards, they took me by the office and allowed me to see operations and listen to the stories of past adventure. Africa […]

Sunset Sunday – Swakopmund, Namibia
by Craig Zabransky on April 17, 2011 in Sunset Sunday
Namibia claims to be the second least populated country in the world. It ranks behind Mongolia (tops on my bucket list for travel). The place can feel empty. Very empty at times. And not just in the desert. After the journey on the road from Sossusvlei to Swakopmund, we found out just how empty. The […]
The Seafood Blues of Cape Town
by Craig Zabransky on April 16, 2011 in Culture Thru Cuisine
After the Camps Bay cocktail and then watching the Atlantic Ocean sunset, I walked back down the oceanfront street to return to Blues for dinner. The place recommended by the hotel concierge, provided a clean, open air setting, a vibe for great seafood. The open kitchen provided full view to us watch the chef prepare […]
Cape Town’s Bahia – One of the Best at the Waterfront
by Craig Zabransky on April 15, 2011 in Culture Thru Cuisine
Dropped off at Victoria and Alfred’s Waterfront in Cape Town, we had 90 minutes for lunch. Our guide gave recommendations from the fast and cheap (this meal was not included as part of the tour) to the elegant and elaborate. We selected the latter, and I am glad we did. Four of us left the […]
A Gift from God, Lunch in the South African Winelands
by Craig Zabransky on April 14, 2011 in Culture Thru Cuisine
Fact: Any visit to Cape Town is not complete with out a trip to the Winelands of South Africa. Just an hour outside the city, you need to add them to your ‘must see’ list if (no when) you visit Cape Town. The majestic scenery, incredible micro-climates, and the tastings all make it a must. […]
The Grand Time of Camps Bay
by Craig Zabransky on April 13, 2011 in Culture Thru Cuisine
I arrived in Camps Bay, the glitzy oceanfront neighborhood of Cape Town a few hours early. And after finding the restaurant slated for dinner, I decided to walk along the seashore and pass time. The roar of the ocean, the smell of the Atlantic, and the refreshing afternoon breeze put my mind very far away […]
The Royale with Cheese, Cape Town’s Best Burger
by Craig Zabransky on April 11, 2011 in Destination
The burger. Regardless of where you are in the States, you can usually find a good, even a great burger place. Yet, such a quest can prove rather challenging outside America. Even in destination where you sink your teeth into the very best steak on the planet, as in Argentina (I lived in Buenos Aires nearly two months), the burger […]
Sunset Sunday – Blue Train, South Africa
by Craig Zabransky on April 10, 2011 in Stay Luxurious, Sunset Sunday
In Africa, I dreamed of safari, sunsets, soccer (World Cup) and deep discovery into my soul. I found it all and more. But one surprise for me, and my Stay Luxurious side was passage on South Africa’s Blue Train from Pretoria to Cape Town. The invitation, experience, and twenty-eight elegant hours I received, remain one […]
