A Walk through the Huguenot Memorial in Franschhoek, South Africa
A visit to Cape Town or South Africa that matter is not complete without a trip to the country’s wineries. On the Blue Train you pass straight through the heart of the countryside dedicated to producing some of the best wines I ever tasted. But you need to get up close and visit the towns. […]
Sunset Sunday – Camps Bay, Cape Town, South Africa
As an American, the Atlantic represents the sunrise, the Pacific, the sunset. But when one travels east, you can witness the sun set on the Atlantic.

The Giraffe – Big 5 Worthy in my Book
The Giraffe is not officially part of the African Big 5. But I believe seeing one live in the wild clearly leaves an impression just as memorable as any of the Big 5.
