Share Kalk Bay is one of those places where you can finally catch your breath ... This won­der­ful his­toric har­bour vil­lage, en route to Cape Point, has everything you could pos­sibly want from a day out by the sea. Well, everything except warm water. Which is just as well, because you might be less inclined [...]

Bayworld Museum Complex

posted to: Attractions, Eastern Cape

Share Now known as Bayworld, which means you get to see the Oceanarium, the snake park, and no 7 Castle Hill as part of the same visit, the country’s third old­est museum boasts a 15 metre Southern Right whale skel­eton, a life-size recon­struc­tion of the giant dino­saur Algoasaurus (it’s not a recently dis­covered spe­cies, but [...]

posted to: Activities and Things To Do, Western Cape

Knysna — South Africa's favourite holiday destination

posted to: Reviews and Visitors' Perspectives, The Garden Route

Share Note to self: When next going away on a romantic hol­i­day get­away, make sure you go some­where without baboons . Coming back to the tree-top cabin that I had romantic­ally, thought­fully and spon­tan­eously ren­ted out­side Knysna, my girl­friend and I found our food sup­plies decim­ated. Not only eaten, but flung around the room, smeared [...]
