Winter/Spring<br />
2018<br />
So here we are, dressed up in winter woollies, fire crackling,<br />
and glass of red wine in hand, all just to keep warm. But<br />
don’t fret too much: spring is just around the corner with<br />
plenty of fun experiences waiting. Like enjoying the wide<br />
open spaces and majestic scenery of South Africa, cruising<br />
along the highways and byways with the wind in your hair,<br />
astride a powerful motorcycle. In this edition we bring you<br />
the rundown of touring South Africa by motorcycle, and in<br />
recognition of Women’s Month there’s a special section on<br />
women bikers.<br />
We also travel around the country, spending time at the<br />
horse races and trying our hand in the many casinos with<br />
bells and whistles going off all around as the ‘bandits’ strike<br />
gold. Not many of us can resist the lure of the big win, the<br />
temptation that Lady Luck will land that big cash windfall in<br />
your lap. That’s why, with our world-class horse races and<br />
casinos, our gaming industry is another great draw card for<br />
tourists, both local and foreign.<br />
Hoping the rains will improve, we also take you to<br />
Namaqualand in anticipation of this year’s annual flower<br />
spectacle…one of the greatest natural shows on earth.<br />
And for the young and not-so-young who like travelling off<br />
the beaten track on a shoestring budget, there’s a feature<br />
on backpacking. With the global explosion in backpacking,<br />
South Africa is a favoured destination considered to<br />
Editor'S Note<br />
be something of a paradise. More off-the-beaten-track<br />
delights can be found in our regular feature, Hidden Gems.<br />
For our LGBT readers we carry a feature on South Africa<br />
as one of the top destinations among members of the<br />
LGBT community worldwide – a market that is rapidly<br />
growing. And then we cross the continent to romance in<br />
Casablanca, hippies in Marrakesh, camel caravan trains<br />
crossing the desert, Bedouin tents in the dunes, spice<br />
markets and magnificent seaside resorts. Yes, Morocco.<br />
But this mysterious, mesmerising and timeless country at<br />
the intersection of Europe and Africa offers so much more.<br />
Do check it out.<br />
For our regular South African regional feature in this edition,<br />
we travelled to North West, a province you just have to<br />
love. It’s full of rich cultural history, fun and entertainment<br />
on a grand scale, spectacular wildlife and beautiful natural<br />
scenery. Don’t miss out. Finally there’s an update on travel<br />
technology and a selection of great and affordable escapes<br />
for that midyear break.<br />
I’d also like to salute our women readers as Women’s<br />
Month approaches in August. And don’t forget, June is<br />
LGBT Month, while on the 16th of June we celebrate our<br />
youth, with Heritage and Tourism month both coming up<br />
in September.<br />
There’s sure plenty to look forward to. And as always, enjoy<br />
the read!<br />
