Posted on October 14, 2016October 26, 2016 by Colleen

As travel writers we often travel far and wide exploring the corners of our country and further to find interesting stories to write and tips to share. How often is it that we get to explore our own back yard, through the eyes of a visitor? A week ago I joined Cheapflights and a group…

The Robertson Wine Valley: More than Wine

Posted on May 26, 2016May 26, 2016 by Colleen

A little over a week ago I travelled to McGregor and the Robertson Wine Valley to spend some time doing the things I love most in life; eat, taste wine, eat, taste wine, eat and meet people (no I didn’t accidentally repeat myself there). One of the greatest things about being a tourist in your…

This weekend I will be travelling to the Langeberg Valley to join Hot Oven Marketing Team for a weekend with McGregor Country Getaways treating us to wine, culture, food, views and more food.

Take me back to Etosha

Posted on April 30, 2016April 29, 2016 by Colleen

Etosha, The Great White Place. I’m sure that you’ve read a hundred personal accounts of why Etosha was amazing and why you should visit. I’m not going to tell you that. In fact I’d like to keep my Etosha experience all to myself. I’d like to keep all that incredible bright white mind-expanding open space…

After being asked by CheapFlights Travel Blog to share with them my top 3 Hidden Gems in South Africa for 2016 it got me thinking about all the many places that I have been too and loved; well known or not.  One of the main reasons why I started writing about travel was because I am…

Onguma Game Reserve – More than you expect

Posted on September 28, 2015September 29, 2015 by Colleen

As we headed out of Tsumeb I could feel the call of Etosha drawing us in. Excitement bubbled within and I could hardly believe I was finally going to see “The Great White Place” that I had heard so many stories about. I couldn’t wait to drive through the gate and soak up the feeling of ticking…

A weekend at Mpekweni

Posted on March 2, 2015August 23, 2015 by Colleen

The water is bright. I half close my eyes not wanting to look away but still mesmerised by the glittering surface. The sun is low and its rays still warm my face intensely. Rocking back and forth I think about the genius who invented swing seats; they must have been a child at heart. I…

Mushara Outpost Soothes (Review)

Posted on February 26, 2015August 23, 2015 by Colleen

You know that feeling you get when you arrive in the bush after an endless dusty, sweaty journey in the car? That soul soothing sound of nothing as you step out . The cliched deafening silence comment comes to mind. Mushara Outpost has it in bucket loads and then some. As one of four properties in…
