I spent two days at the beach in Plettenberg Bay and then two days at the desert in Oudtshoorn. This is part I of the journey.

Luxury travel option abound in South Africa. If you're looking for a luxury experience in the bush, you can't get much better than Mhondoro Safari Lodge.

I spent a weekend in a cottage at Brahman Hills, a beautiful and quirky lodge and spa just off the N3 Highway in the Natal Midlands.

My mom and I spent two days in the Robertson Wine Valley -- tasting wine, eating food, and soaking up the lovely small-town atmosphere.

Zietsies is a guest house and private dining room on the border of Brixton and Auckland Park. I recommend it as a place to both eat and sleep.

I took a one-night trip to the Dinokeng Game Reserve in northern Gauteng. While not quite the Kruger or the Pilanesberg, Dinokeng is a great quick Jozi getaway.

My friend Michelle and I had a mid-week staycation in Braamfontein, spending the night at Once in Joburg and partying with BCUC at the Orbit.

In the final installment of my adventures in North West Province, I spend the day in the glitzy, Vegas-like resort of Sun City.

I spent a long weekend in Groot Marico, the historic home of South African author Herman Charles Bosman. It was a whacky few days.

I spent the night at the Indaba Hotel in Fourways, and was treated to the best massage (or massages, actually) of my life.

I spent a weekend at Samara Private Game Reserve and saw more cheetahs up close and personal than I'll ever see again. Plus one aardvark.

I spent three days in Cape Town, doing all sorts of random, awesome things. I climbed Lion's Head, drank beer, ate fish and chips, and laughed at seals.
