The Blog Awakes, This Time in Cape Town

January 23rd, 2010 by admin

Regular readers will have noticed that the blog has been quite sleepy over the past 6-8 weeks. The reason behind this drowsiness is that the blog (or the author), has changed it’s base from California to Cape Town (with a four week de-tour in Norway). The good news, though, are that I am now settled in Cape Town, South Africa, and the blog will again be regularly updated with interesting stories, photos, destinations, tips, advice and lots of travel information; This time served to you directly from the southern tip of Africa.

The focus of the stories, will as you might expect, be centered around the city and country of their origin, Cape Town and South Africa. But I will do my best to also include at least one post a week about a destination elsewhere in Africa.

If you have any comments about the blog, now is the time to share them. And until next post is published, here are a few photos from my descent into the Mother City, with the infamous Table Mountain and Table Cloth in the lead role.

Mnemba – The Heart Shaped Paradise Island

December 2nd, 2009 by admin

Mnemba IslandJust east of Zanzibar, you can find a tiny, little, heart shaped paradise island called Mnemba. The island seems to be the perfect extension of Zanzibar, with an even more relaxed and highly luxurious atmosphere, practically no people, and an unbeatable tropical beauty. As you fly over the island, you will instantly see that this place must be one of the most romantic destinations in the world (and from a certain angle the island appears to have the perfect shape of a heart!).

November 16th, 2009 by admin

Kruger Scenery SummerThe Kruger Park in South Africa has two main seasons; a dry winter from April – October, and a wet summer from November – March. So what is the best time to travel to Kruger? The park is known as an all-year destination, but the different seasons will have a definite impact on your safari. So when you are planning your safari, you should keep two things in mind: What season will you be traveling, and which part of the Kruger Park will be the best for that season? In this post I will try to help you with this part of your safari planning!

Drakensberg Mountains – South Africa’s Best Scenery?

November 13th, 2009 by admin

The Drakensberg Mountains might just be the top notch of South Africa’s many beautiful sceneries. The Drakensberg is South Africa’s highest mountain range and is located in the Kwazulu-Natal and Free State Province in eastern South Africa. And we are not the first people on earth to marvel at the beauty of this region. The Drakensberg Moutains are full of caves where you can find ancient rock art and paintings made by the Bushmen, thousands of years ago.

New Dinosaur Found in South Africa – Time for Dinosaur Safaris?

November 12th, 2009 by admin

A new dinosaur species has been discovered in South Africa (well, new isn’t very accurate, it’s about 200 000 000 years old). I’m not a dinosaur person, and I won’t go in too much technical details about this discovery, but I will share my immediate thoughts.

They claim it is a missing link, though, by they I mean the media. Scientists don’t like to use that term, unless they’re looking for PR. But the scientists do say that it is an important discovery to further understand the transition from small-ish two-legged dinosaurs to massive four legged monsters like this guy:

Want to visit another planet? -Madagascar is your destination!

November 11th, 2009 by admin

In one sentence, I will tell you what you need to know about Madagascar: It’s the world’s 4th biggest island, home to 5% of the world’s plant and animals species of which 80% of the animals and 90% of the plants exist nowhere else in the world! Some scientists insist that Madagascar deserves to be called a continent by itself. I think we should call it another planet.

Sahara – A different travel destination

November 5th, 2009 by admin

Sahara Camel Safari I am the first to admit that Sahara has never crossed my mind when adding places to my long travel destination wish-list. And I am also the first to admit that The Africa Travel Blog has a huge bias towards Southern Africa. However, today I will step in a new direction. I will try to create an image of Sahara as a real travel destination rather than “that big, empty space we fly across on the way to South Africa”. And I know that I have a new image of Sahara after seeing these photos and video.
