We’ve been hopping in and around Cape Town for the past two months. We traipsed in and out of cafes, hiked various points, and ate a plethora of incredibly delicious food. However, there is a side of it that you haven’t seen—the side that explains why we have been in this gosh darn city so…
There are so many great places to visit in South Africa, that the country is the perfect destination for any traveler. It is full of experiences not to miss in one’s lifetime. See wild lions, catch a wave on a surfboard, relax in a 7-star lodge, jump off the highest bridge bungee bridge in the world, snap a…
I must admit that I am not extremely knowledgeable when it comes to wine. Don’t get me wrong, I love having a glass of red wine each night or three (*for heart reasons of course*). However, when I am at a traditional food and wine pairing and someone asks me “now what do you taste?” I…
We’ve been fortunate enough to have some incredible safari experiences over the years, but riding through the bush on horseback was a first.

We arrived at the Gondwana Game Reserve, eager and ready for our week at their new tented Gondwana Eco Camp to experience ecotourism in South Africa.
