Ais Ais, Fish River Canyon, Namibia
We made it to Ais Ais! So happy. We arrived yesterday evening and checked into this MASSIVE house. We both have our own bed rooms, there’s a massive terrace and Alex, the manager, was so kind to bring us a braai so that we could do our own braai yesterday [...]

South African road trip to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and Ais Ais in Namibia. More than 4000km and temperatures between -8 ° C and 35 ° C. The road less traveled.
Oh, how we had been looking forward to this trip. I had never been to this part of the world and [...]
Going up the long drive way is definitely impressive when you enter this spectacular wine estate. The WoW Factor is def there!! Check www.delaire.co.za for stunning pics. Somehow I forgot to take pictures of the estate, probably because I was in awe!! The restaurant is beautifully decorated with African arts and features a MASSIVE fire [...]

For those who have been to South Africa, don’t you just love the ‘dorpies’ we have here? Spend a day in a dorpie (= village) and before you know it you hang out with the locals, know all the town gossip and have a designated bar stool in the local pub. I just love it! [...]

For a long [...]
