editor — Tue, 02 Mar 2021 12:44:02 +0000

A few impressions before starting my tour. Ruzizi Tented Lodge is a charming mid-range lodge in Akagera National Park. This post also features a safari in Akagera National Park. The National Park is home to the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffaid, and rhino). I was very happy with their service and highly recommend them. I booked my trip to Akagera with Uber Luxe Safaris. Uber Luxe Safaris offers very professional service. Transfers are in safari land cruisers with experienced English speaking guides. Ruzizi Tented Lodge is a two hour drive from Kigali. The drive is on excellent roads, except

Map of BOTSWANA – Mombo Camp BOTSWANA

editor — Wed, 27 Jan 2021 14:47:30 +0000

As one of the most diverse safari spots on the planet – encompassing desert, woodland and wetlands – Botswana has no shortage of luxury lodges. But nothing can steal the crown from Mombo. It’s been a favourite of wildlife fanatics for almost three decades, thanks to its splendid isolation and year-round game viewing (hello, adorable elephants and elusive wild dogs). Now, fresh from an overhaul, Mombo is looking better than ever. Set under the shady canopies of jackalberry trees on the north-eastern tip of Chief’s Island, within the Eden-like Moremi Game Reserve, nine tented suites are elevated for prime views

South African Craft Beer Experiences In A Fast-Growing Craft Beer Scene

editor — Thu, 25 Apr 2019 23:16:00 +0000

Craft beer is growing rapidly and in exciting ways in South Africa. There are two must-visit breweries in Cape Town: Devil’s Peak Brewing Company (95 Durham Avenue, Salt River, Cape Town 7925) and Jack Black’s (10 Brigid Road, Diep River, Cape Town 7945). Devil’s Peak basically started craft beer in South Africa and Jack Black’s are the cool, progressive new guys grabbing all the brewing awards— they’re the leaders in a growing number of great South African brewers and their taproom is a great place to drink. Also go to The SAB World of Beer in Johannesburg (15 Helen Joseph

Drink Umqombothi Africa’s Indigenous Sorghum (Home) Brews

editor — Sun, 31 Mar 2019 23:48:00 +0000

Not many truly indigenous beers exist now and if you want to find them, then you have to visit places such as Peru, Tibet, and Africa, while remote Scandinavia (see post 156) and Lithuania (see post 165) have their farmhouse beers. Most of these beers are hard to find; they require lots of travel to faraway places that you’d probably not bother going to if it wasn’t for some local home-brew (and even that is only appealing to the slimmest minority of booze boffins). Yet the fact that these brews still exist makes me want to drink them and know

TAJ HOTEL CAPE TOWN St George’s and Wale streets Cape Town

editor — Sat, 09 Dec 2017 02:12:00 +0000

The entrance to the former South African Reserve Bank is meticulously preserved and in use today as the hotel’s front door. Thee can’t be many sites in the centre of Cape Town that are more historic than this one. Opposite St George’s Cathedral, a stone’s throw from the Company’s Gardens, at the junction of St George’s and Wale streets, round the corner from the Groote Kerk and the Old Slave Lodge, this building has seen it all. Today, with its neighbour on the corner of Adderley Street, formerly the Temple Chambers, it houses the Taj Hotel Cape Town. It was
