Joburg Weekend Getaways (Category) - 28 posts

Thorsten and I spent half a day at the Cradle of Humankind to experience Howard Geach's Human Origins Tour.

Thorsten and I spent a weekend at Royal Natal National Park, stayed at Thendele Camp, and hiked to the spectacular Tugela Gorge.

Thorsten and I spent the weekend at the Ezemvelo Nature Reserve near Bronkhorstspruit and hiked more than 25 kilometers in two days.

Marakele National Park was the final stop on our Blogitects Limpopo roadtrip. It was a great way to round off the journey.

On the first stop of our Limpopo road trip, Thorsten and I stayed in a cottage at the Tupelo Honey Farm in Magoebaskloof. It was magical.

Thorsten and I took Greylene the Blogmobile, my new Suzuki Jimny, on a weekend road trip to the Vaal River.

We visited the 2-billion-year-old Vredefort Dome -- earth's largest and oldest known meteorite crater, which is only 1.5 hours from Joburg.

We spent a weekend in Kensington, a suburb on the east side of Joburg, at the Fishbird Villa. It was great to get away in our own city.

The Aloe Farm, about an hour from Joburg near Hartbeespoort Dam, is the best place to enjoy South Africa's winter explosion of aloes.

I spent the night at one of the African Penthouses at 87 Commissioner Street. It was a great night out in downtown Joburg.

We spent my birthday weekend houseboating the Vaal River, only an hour from Joburg, through Old Willow No. 7 Houseboat Charters.

I spent the night at the Donkey Dairy in Magaliesburg with a delightful herd of blue-eyed donkeys and miniature goats.
