1. Delta, dunes and falls If you’re one of those people who wants it all, a trip that starts under the spray of the world’s most spectacular waterfall, then delivers you into a houseboat on the lush Okavango Delta, before crossing through the surreal, stark beauty of Namibia and finally deposit you in cosmopolitan Cape Town, is it. An adventure that’ll really blow your socks off. A 24-day Delta, Dunes & Falls tour with Peregrine (0207 408 9021; peregrineadventures.com) costs from £6,405 and includes all transfers, accommodation, most meals and listed excursions.  2.

Broadcaster and gardener Carol Klein joins the tour for two days to show guests Cape’s loveliest gardens. The … [Read more...] about 10 of the best ways to explore South Africa

PUBLISHED: 12:27 24 April 2018 | UPDATED: 12:27 24 April 2018 By Roger Hermiston and Eileen Wise Eileen and Roger out at sea in Hermanus Archant Eileen Wise and Roger Hermiston saw South Africa by motorbike and sidecar - then got up close and personal with a Great White Shark Motorbike and sidecar trip around Cape Town It was our first trip to South Africa, and we were raring to go to throw off the shackles of a prolonged English winter. So, in the warmth of the country’s late summer we forsook the attractions of languid days by beach or pool and opted to plunge into a series of adventures in its great outdoors. We began our holiday in cosmopolitan Cape Town, quickly completing an exciting cable-car trip to the top of the stupendous Table Mountain, and then joining a boat out to Robben Island, that barren outpost of history where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for nearly two decades in a cell barely six-foot square with nothing but a bedroll on the floor, a tiny stool … [Read more...] about A Jaws moment for Eileen and Roger in South Africa

It’s always my aim to feature the very best restaurants that I can and when I was doing my research of Cape Town, one name kept coming up. According to the San Pellegrino restaurant awards The Test Kitchen is voted No. 48 in the world and No.1 in Africa. The Eat Out guide, which was an extremely helpful website while I was planning my trip, agreed with San Pellegrino. And most importantly, my South African blogger buddies, Ashleigh and Sam also loved it! Needless to saw I booked our table well in advance – definitely a necessity – the place is incredibly popular and pretty much always fully booked. Though Test Kitchen is the very best, don’t expect the white table tables and fancy dining room of your typical fine dining experience. As you can see The Test Kitchen is more ‘industrial chic’ with exposed brick work, concrete floor and pipes running through ceiling. No need to wear jacket and tie or cocktail dress, everyone was dressed … [Read more...] about The Test Kitchen: The Best Restaurant in South Africa
