Having spent half his life in South Africa and the other in the UK, Ross decided on a rather dramatic career change from working as a lawyer in one of London’s top corporate law firms to working as a copywriter at Rhino Africa. Ross is passionate about the success of the Rainbow Nation and believes in uplifting communities through the travel industry. Since his early days as a speech writer in the House of Commons, Ross has been obsessed with writing and can usually be found with a book and a glass of vino (not during work hours of course).

Il Leone is good and consistent. It’s part of the Mastrantonio set up, but it’s more sophisticated than its siblings. [...]

After a multi-million facelift I bounded into Majeka with high expectations. I mean, Majeka House had the facelift… not me. Although I could do with one too. Majeka definitely exceeded all my expectations. A five star boutique hotel in Stellenbosch with 22 rooms, it achieves the Goldilocks balance between intimacy, service and facilities. After a [...]

Floating on the heady prospect of a two week holiday, Daisy (my emasculated Jeep), Mark (my emasculated friend who kindly agreed to accompany me for the night) and I set off with the sort of vim that only a road trip to the Cape Winelands can muster. It’s important to plan any trip to the [...]

“The belly rules the mind.“ ~Spanish Proverb What’s on at the What’s on Eatery?! When my friend first mentioned the name I thought he was saying “What’s on the tree?” in pigeon Zulu.

A big thanks to PJ, Warren and the rest of the Lion Sands team for hosting the Rhino Africa team at the Twankey Bar at the Taj Cape Town. A great night was had by all as the wine flowed and delicious canapés were nibbled. The Twankey bar could easily have stepped out of Faringdon [...]
