![]() By Roxanne Reid There are thousands of wonderful places to stay in Southern Africa, but many are variations on the same theme - hotel, safari lodge, etc. But sometimes they offer something different and intriguing, whether it’s a boat, a train, notable architecture or historic value. Here, in random order, are 10 unique stays and quirky accommodation in Southern Africa I’ve enjoyed over the years. ![]() By Roxanne Reid Staying in quirky, different places is always a kick, whether it’s in a tree house or a cave, on a train or a houseboat. So imagine my thrill when I got to spend a night in jail at Willowmore in the Karoo and uncovered fascinating old stories of darkness and rebellion, of a prison warden who turned to crime. ![]() John Steinbeck said about travel that you go, not so much to see but to tell afterward. I travel for both those reasons. I’m endlessly curious and love experiencing new things I couldn’t in my own back yard, but I also enjoy sharing those experiences through this blog. Here are my 7 travel highlights of 2013. ![]() Whether you’re on Raaskrans (noisy cliff), the Nuwekloof Pass or Verlorenrivier (lost river), where the river disappears underground, the Eastern Cape’s Baviaanskloof is a place where beauty and diversity just about smack you in the face. But its greatest attraction is how much there is to see and do, so you'll never be bored. ![]() If The Willow Historical Guesthouse and Sophie’s Choice are laid-back gems on the western border of the Baviaanskloof at Willowmore, then Padlangs and Die Tolbos are matching havens of country calm near Patensie in the east. |
