Mzanzitravel Magazine - Issue 9

Autumn/Winter
2018
The year is certainly flying. In this edition of Mzanzitravel
we are already looking at what exciting and wonderful
travel opportunities there may be this coming winter for
local and foreign travellers in South Africa. We have again
selected for our readers a number of great and affordable
winter getaways for those seeking a relaxing mid-year
break, away from the stresses of everyday life.
As always, our magazine is packed with interesting,
informative travel articles with the aim of encouraging
local travel among South Africans, but also to tell our
international guests more about all the fascinating
experiences our wonderful country has to offer. For the
more active among us with a love of the great outdoors, we
have a feature on the best mountain hikes in the country.
In Hidden Gems we again visit some amazing places,
mostly off the beaten track or less known, such as the
fascinating house of General Jan Smuts, who was a South
African prime minister during both world wars; the intriguing
towns of Riebeek Kasteel and Riebeek West; the hidden
little towns of the Karoo Highlands Route; and a farm in
the eastern Free State that has a collection of vintage
machines of every description and use, from steam trains
to tractors, aircraft, farm machines and military vehicles.
Editor'S Note
For our regular get-to-know-Mzanzi regional feature, we
travel to beautiful Limpopo; and for our regular discover-
Africa feature we visit Tanzania. In a previous edition we
brought you the western section of South Africa’s iconic
Route 62, from Robertson to Oudtshoorn. Now, in this
edition, we cover the eastern section of Route 62, from
Oudtshoorn to Jeffreys Bay. In other articles we drink a
toast to the exquisite Cape Winelands, find out more about
sustainable and responsible tourism in South Africa, and
take a look at the many lovely guest and holiday farms in
our country. Finally we take a road trip up the isolated, yet
dramatically beautiful coast of Namibia.
From 18 to 20 April Mzanzitravel will be at the WTM Africa
tourism show at the International Convention Centre in
Cape Town, and from 8 to 10 May we will be at Africa’s
Travel Indaba in Durban. We hope to see many of our
old friends there! Lastly, we are proud to announce that
Mzanzitravel has teamed up with The Mzansi Experience
– our magazine will in future be available on all their
luxurious hop-on hop-off tourist buses. As always: enjoy
the read!
