Tourists to South Africa do not have to feel guilty about leaving a dirty carbon footprint if we as an industry can facilitate sustainable tourism which empowers and uplifts local communities.
Kingsley Holgate – Africa’s Greatest Modern Day Explorer This was the claim echoing in the forests of Table Mountain National Park last night. That Kingsley Holgate is, without doubt, Africa’s greatest modern day explorer. This 67 year-old explorer and humanitarian has also been described as “the most travelled man in Africa” by Getaway Magazine. Sitting [...]

“Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all.” – Nelson Mandela. We hope to keep Africa’s rivers, oceans, wetlands, lakes and deltas as pristine as possible for some time to come and we’re sure you do too – what would an African safari be without them? Mokoro riding through waves of plastic bottles and river rafting without any water doesn’t sounds like fun.

Wild thing, you make my heart sing… The African Wild Dog. It’s one of South Africa‘s lesser known and rarely seen endangered species. You can go on a week long safari in one of the reserves they inhabit in South Africa and still not lay eyes on them. It’s the greatest pity as these furry [...]

We’ve been so caught up with rhinos and planning our World Rhino Day event that we haven’t had time to pay attention to the other stars of this week – trees! Arbor Week runs from 1-7 September in South Africa. We’re great fans of trees – sleeping in luxury treehouses, photographing great baobabs, watching leopards lounging on their branches, canoeing past big leafy ones bustling with pretty tweeting winged creatures, and more. So in celebration, read on…

On their recent cycle through the Damaraland Desert to raise money to save the rhino, the Challenge4aCause Team came across a strange character. The type one only finds a thousand miles from anywhere; barefooted and shaggy. A desert man. A social recluse. A conservationist we’ve christened Lion Man.

Bags and bikes are packed. Weather’s looking great. Riders have carbo-loaded and trained the heck out of their calves and hamstrings. And today, they’re off! It’s time for our great Challenge4aCause cycle event to hit the sandy roads and dunes of Damaraland, Namibia, which apparently this time of year is strangely greener than usual, with [...]

All this green business really started with what is one of the most widely distributed pictures in history. This famous snapshot (not much different from the one above) was taken on December 7, 1972, by the crew of the Apollo 17 spacecraft and became etched in the general consciousness of the human race. Green became [...]

Having lived in Cape Town long enough to call myself a Capetonian, I can confidently say that if you want to keep us entertained we need three things: a mountain view, a live band and a beach bar. The cunning people from the Good Work Foundation clearly know our kryptonite and have, in association with [...]

It seems Challenge4acause has started a little trend – do-gooders cycling for charity is certainly catching on! The latest pedal-pushing is in aid of anti poaching and pro breeding (of the Rhino that is) and we are proud to have Ingo, head of our German division Rhino Afrika, cycling his heart out for this noble [...]
