Afrika T: June 2011

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

ALERT: New Cape West Coast Trails open for booking!

This is a great project I've been involved with for a couple of years now, and these amazing responsible tourism experiences are finally at the early stage of coming onto the market. Exciting to be involved from scratch and see the dream come to life. It's all managed by the non-profit Cape West Coast Biosphere Reserve to benefit local communities and conserve the environment while providing an amazing local (and slow) travel experience.

The "Darling Stagger" is la dolce vita South African style strolling through vineyards and farmlands, eating olives, cheese, tasting wine, plus San culture and the beach...and lovely landscapes everywhere. "Eve's Trail" is an awesome beach walk with marine life, archaeological sites, wildlife, and amazing seafood...bird life...pristine fynbos...wow. And these will all be Green Flag trails when they officially launch.
