Blogging Hiatus

Gentle Reader,

Some five years into the life of Afrika T, I now find myself unable to keep up with contributions at a level that I and you have come to expect from this blog. Partly this is because of other activities in responsible tourism (see example here, and another here), partly from other projects in sustainability (see examples here and here), and partly for reasons that are more personal.

I am certainly still active online and in responsible travel, so feel free to comment on existing posts here, to follow me on Twitter, and to note what I've been reading online via Delicious. I also hope to return to Afrika T, so am not bringing the blog to a halt, just declaring a hiatus of indefinite duration...

Thank you for your support over the years, and, if you're a newcomer to the site, may it still prove valuable.

Kind regards

Kurt

The Darling Stagger: Early review of new Cape West Coast Trail

The new Cape West Coast Trails are going through their early trial runs ('exploratory trails' they're called). These 2 night/2.5 day trails are great getaway breaks for weekends, and being fully catered and portered, they're about as effortless as a walking trail can be.

Here's an early review of the Darling Stagger trail, which I think could become an iconic culinary experience of the Cape Town region -- wine, olives, local produce, freshly caught seafood cooked on the shore, rolling hills, white beaches, art, theatre, stunning views, fresh air...something special is coming to life here.


Read a review by Louise de Waal here.
"Overall the Darling Stagger slack packing trail was a great success with fabulous food, wine tasting to make anybody’s mouth water, mixed with a good amount of calorie burning of walking and cycling, and great company."
(Then book for yourself! trails@capebiosphere.co.za or 0861 TRAILS)
