A trip up the cable car to Table Mountain is one of the highlights of visiting Cape Town. And if it’s clear in the morning, you must consider making the trip that day as weather can change quickly on the Cape. Once above on a clear day you can see for miles in every direction. A […]
The Blue Train of South Africa – Travel in Style
The taxi arrived early. A relief. I settled up with my hostel and left in my cleanest shirt for the journey that waited. The morning had two important stops. My first was to meet a twitter friend, @theexplorateur, for coffee and to say thank you. She was the very reason I received a guest passage […]
Pretoria or Tshwane?
Whether it appears on maps as Pretoria or its ‘future’ official name of Tswahne a trip to the city is not complete without a visit to the Union Buildings.

Now, after my African adventures the Big 5 represents the African Big 5. Five special animals all […]
The Zebra: Black or White Stripes?
Although my first view of a Zebra was through a bus window on traveling in the land of Zs – Zambia and Zimbabwe, it was not until South Africa where I watched the African equids up close and personal. It was at Kruger National Park where I enjoyed a few Zebra sightings. See if you can […]
Sunset Sunday – Safari on the Chobe River
After watching my first sunset on the Chobe River from the shore, the next night I captured the moment from the river during an excursion into Botswana’s Chobe National Park just the other direction from the Namibia and the fishing village. On a day where I drifted passed a herd of thirsty elephants and witnessed […]
