For a review of The Royal Livingstone Hotel, photos and a trip on a (scary) microlight flight, or if you’re nervous about visiting Victoria Falls, read on “You’re very brave to come to Zambia alone,” said the female half of a young couple from Durban as we sat on the veranda of The Royal Livingstone Hotel, a […]

One day in Johannesburg and my bruised traveller’s conscience

One day in Johannesburg, South Africa, visit Houghton

One Day in Johannesburg When a lanky young man in Soweto, one of the most notorious townships in South Africa, approached me gesturing angrily, my mind went as blank as an unpainted canvas. First fear crept in. Then curiosity. Then, strangely enough, relief. Not because it looked as if he wasn’t going to storm the van and […]

Tortoise habitat on Moyenne Island Indian Ocean Seychelles

When it comes to visiting Seychelles islands, little Moyenne Island in Ste. Anne Marine Park is where giant tortoises roam – perfect for an excursion from the main tourist island of Mahé.

January 20, 2015 by Carol Perehudoff 5 Comments

What to do in Cape Town visit Table Bay

Standing on Cape Town’s Signal Hill, a south-easterly wind nudging my back and a lone tree straining towards the Atlantic as if it were ready to dive in for a swim, it occurred to me that if you’re wondering what to do in Cape Town you should think outside the box.

Things to do in Cape Town, urban foraging experience at Sea Point Promenade

I’m looking out onto the Atlantic from Cape Town’s Sea Point Promenade. It’s low tide. Layers of rock lie stripped bare revealing shallow pools, seaweed and star-shaped shells. Waves froth in the distance. It’s romantic, it’s moody, it’s South Africa. I should be thinking profound thoughts. What I’m really thinking is that limpets creep me out. Fun things […]

Romance in Sun City animal safari impalas

After I watched Arnold and Undertaker, two massive crocodiles at the Kwena Crocodile Farm at Sun City, South Africa, bustle out of the water to eat some dead chickens, I noticed a couple ahead of me on the walkway. They were young and attractive (the couple, not the crocs). The woman had white blond hair, a blue and white striped T-shirt and […]

Pilanesberg Game Reserve: hot air balloon safari. Or not.

December 7, 2014 by Carol Perehudoff 5 Comments

Hot air balloon Pilanesberg Game Reserve Sun City

I don’t get up at 3:00 a.m. for just any old adventure, but a Pilanesberg Game Reserve Hot Air Balloon Safari sounded like one of those bucket list things that, if I had a bucket list, and had known hot air balloon animal safaris in South Africa even existed, would certainly have been in my […]
