Spanning from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth, the Garden Route is a beautifully scenic region, from the semi-desert of the Karoo and forests of Tsitsikamma to pretty seaside towns and white sandy beaches. And it’s great for families! Visit the Garden Route section on our website.
I spent an hour in a cage in the ocean surrounded by no less than ten voracious sharks and I can report that while I still have a healthy fear of these predators of the sea, I’ve come to respect them and indeed to marvel at their amazing grace, power and supreme biological engineering…

I recently visited the Shamwari (meaning “friend” in Shona) Game Reserve on the Garden Route and was lucky enough to stay in two of their seven luxury lodges. We left the Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, also in the Eastern Cape, and took a back road short cut to access Shamwari. It was about an hour’s drive past scenic bush and other game reserves.

I recently headed up from Cape Town to the Garden Route to film the lodges and safaris on offer in this part of southern Africa. Firstly, I must say, flying from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth for this self-drive safari experience along the Garden Route and its surrounds is definitely the best way to go. Once in PE, the lodges are all very close together and easily accessible. And you don’t need a 4×4… although it would be nice.

But nature doesn’t always work to the clock… It showed this when the long-awaited marine giants rocked up behind the breakers at Die Plaat in De Kelders, in Walker Bay, as early as April this year.

Held in Oudtshoorn, it is a celebration of the [...]

There is one thing that always relaxes me and that is the sound of the ocean! There’s nothing better than falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing against the rocks and the beautiful smell of the sea air! And there’s no better place to enjoy these natural pleasures than Hermanus… Located in a small [...]

“Oh Wow, they are Massive!” There’s a scene in one of my favourite movies where the assistant to the high-powered lead actress is given a landslide of impossible tasks and errands. She repeats a very simple mantra in order to convince herself that the hellish to-do list is all worth it in the end; “I [...]

It’s been a busy few weeks at Rhino Africa HQ – David has been taking a well earned break hopping the Greek Islands and we’ve sent two groups up to the Kruger to research and review some of SA’s finest game lodges. But while the commercial side of Rhino Africa has been doing its thing, [...]

Terence is the glue behind Rhino Africa. The keratin in our Rhino horn. He’s the “I” in our IT department and the “hand” in our handyman. After being part of the crack squad that organised David’s 40th birthday at the Mount Nelson, Terence took a well deserved break. While Tiger Woods was distracted by [...]

Now I was dying to see for myself what Sanbona Dwyka Lodge was all about since I had heard so much about it! After our stay in Swellendam on the Route 62, we made our way through the Tradouw’s pass to Sanbona Wildlife Reserve. This is a big reserve at around 54 000 hectares [...]
