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 […]

Exploring the Cape of Good Hope
The Cape of Good Hope might not be the beach one dreams about when imagining the idyllic with frozen drinks and palm trees. For that, it might be more of a pacific island paradise, such as the Gili islands. Nonetheless, it’s clear blue water and landscape to provide a spectacular scene. Plus most all travelers […]
Taking a Pint South African Style – Umqombothi
Umqombothi. Say that three times. In fact even say it once. Not easy. But a lot easier to drink? Well maybe not, but it’s an adventure. After my 1/2 day tour via Acacia Africa that took me to visit the District Six Museum and a local township outside of Cape Town, our last stop, not like any […]

Cape Town, South Africa serves as an initial entry point for many travelers to Africa. But some argue it’s not “True Africa,” Ok, then I ask, is New York true America? The answer in both cases: Yes. America as a nation cherishes variety and today so does South Africa. And both cities serve as a […]

As an American, the Atlantic represents the sunrise, the Pacific, the sunset. But when one travels east, you can witness the sun set on the Atlantic. Although technically, my African adventures would not mark my first sunset on the Atlantic Ocean, (e.g. sunset in Sebastian, Spain), it would mark the first time I really thought […]
Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa
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 […]
