Experiences & Activities
Things to do, must-see attractions, scenic routes and off-the-beaten-path adventures to consider.
Southern African border towns with big stories
Border towns may not top travel lists, but they are rich with stories, cultural crossings and historical echoes.
Traditions that travel with you
We still use the ambisieblokke (ambition blocks) instead of ablusieblokke (ablutions) at campsites and fondly mark Vlentersburg (Ventersburg) and Parasburg (Karasburg) on our routes.

By choosing one of these unusual retreats, travellers trade the ordinary for a unique stay under the stars.
