There’s nothing I love more than a road trip, whether it’s a weekend just 100km from home or a multi-week journey across different countries.

By Roxanne Reid About eight years ago I enjoyed a fun weekend of rubber ducking and go-karting in Langebaan. On a more recent visit, I barely recognised the town because it's grown so much. But it’s still a kick-ass destination with lots of fun stuff to do. Here are my top 6 reasons to visit Langebaan on the West Coast. By Roxanne Reid There’s lots to do at Namushasha River Lodge in the Zambezi region (formerly Caprivi) of northeast Namibia. Its position along on Kwando River makes it perfect for boat trips or fishing. As we discovered, it’s also a good kick-off point for a game drive in Bwabwata National Park. By Roxanne Reid The Botswana government has sold rights to frack for shale gas in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, one of Africa's largest protected conservation zones. Do you love the Kgalagadi as much as I do? Are you as outraged by this as I am? Read on to find out how we can work together to stop fracking in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in Botswana.
