WINE TASTING | STELLENBOSCH, SOUTH AFRICA
Hello peoples,
My friends and I headed out to Stellenbosch this week to have some wine tasting adventures so I threw a little video together to remember the occasion.
We almost got lost, had a tour of the Stellies Uni campus, and I tried to veganize a pizza which didn't really work.
Here's to more adventures with cool peeps.

CAPE TOWN'S BEST// South Africa's garden of eden and best wine.
Go hit me up on IG
A day out exploring some of Cape Town's best places.
Babylonstoren has some of the Western Cape's most beautiful vegetable gardens. I highly recommend going for a tranquil walk through the gardens, go have a coffee/breakfast afterwards at their glass house restaurant. Visitors can enter the gardens for a small charge of R 10, tours start at 10 am daily. I do recommend checking if they are open on the day as they do close for weddings and functions.
Altydgedacht is one of my favorite wine farms for two reasons. 1 They are less than 15 minutes from my house. 2 Their Cabernet Sauvignon . Situated 5 minutes from Tyger Valley this wine farm gives you an opportunity to get out of the city without having to drive very far. Their wines are superb.

High-speed rail is a type of rail transport that operates significantly faster than traditional rail traffic, using an integrated system of specialized rolling stock and dedicated tracks
South Africa is a country on the southernmost tip of the African continent, marked by several distinct ecosystems. Inland safari destination Kruger National Park is populated by big game. The Western Cape offers beaches, lush winelands around Stellenbosch and Paarl, craggy cliffs at the Cape of Good Hope, forest and lagoons along the Garden Route, and the city of Cape Town, beneath flat-topped Table Mountain
South Africa contains some of the oldest archaeological and human-fossil sites in the world.[23][24][25] Archaeologists have recovered extensive fossil remains from a series of caves in Gauteng Province. The area, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has been branded the Cradle of Humankind. The sites include Sterkfontein, one of the richest sites for hominin fossils in the world. Other sites include Swartkrans, Gondolin Cave Kromdraai, Coopers Cave and Malapa. Raymond Dart identified the first hominin fossil discovered in Africa, the Taung Child (found near Taung) in 1924. Further hominin remains have come from the sites of Makapansgat in Limpopo Province, Cornelia and Florisbad in the Free State Province, Border Cave in KwaZulu-Natal Province, Klasies River Mouth in Eastern Cape Province and Pinnacle Point, Elandsfontein and Die Kelders Cave in Western Cape Province.
These finds suggest that various hominid species existed in South Africa from about three million years ago, starting with Australopithecus africanus.[26] There followed species including Australopithecus sediba, Homo ergaster, Homo erectus, Homo rhodesiensis, Homo helmei, Homo naledi and modern humans (Homo sapiens). Modern humans have inhabited Southern Africa for at least 170,000 years.
Portuguese contacts
At the time of European contact, the dominant ethnic group were Bantu-speaking peoples who had migrated from other parts of Africa about one thousand years before. The two major historic groups were the Xhosa and Zulu peoples.
In 1487, the Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias led the first European voyage to land in southern Africa.[29] On 4 December, he landed at Walfisch Bay (now known as Walvis Bay in present-day Namibia). This was south of the furthest point reached in 1485 by his predecessor, the Portuguese navigator Diogo Cão (Cape Cross, north of the bay). Dias continued down the western coast of southern Africa. After 8 January 1488, prevented by storms from proceeding along the coast, he sailed out of sight of land and passed the southernmost point of Africa without seeing it. He reached as far up the eastern coast of Africa as, what he called, Rio do Infante, probably the present-day Groot River, in May 1488, but on his return he saw the Cape, which he first named Cabo das Tormentas (Cape of Storms). His King, John II, renamed the point Cabo da Boa Esperança, or Cape of Good Hope, as it led to the riches of the East Indies.[30] Dias' feat of navigation was later immortalised in Luís de Camões' Portuguese epic poem, The Lusiads (1572).
The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) was created in 1994,[126][127] as an all-volunteer military composed of the former South African Defence Force, the forces of the African nationalist groups (Umkhonto we Sizwe and Azanian People's Liberation Army), and the former Bantustan defence forces.[126] The SANDF is subdivided into four branches, the South African Army, the South African Air Force, the South African Navy, and the South African Military Health Service.[128] In recent years, the SANDF has become a major peacekeeping force in Africa,[129] and has been involved in operations in Lesotho, the DRC,[129] and Burundi,[129] amongst others. It has also served in multinational UN peacekeeping forces such as the UN Force Intervention Brigade for example.
South Africa is the only African country to have successfully developed nuclear weapons. It became the first country (followed by Ukraine) with nuclear capability to voluntarily renounce and dismantle its programme and in the process signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1991.[130] South Africa undertook a nuclear weapons programme in the 1970s[130] According to former state president FW de Klerk, the decision to build a nuclear deterrent was taken as early as 1974 against a backdrop of a Soviet expansionist threat.[131] South Africa is alleged to have conducted a nuclear test over the Atlantic in 1979,[132] although this is officially denied. Former president, FW de Klerk, maintained that South Africa had never conducted a clandestine nuclear test.[131] Six nuclear devices were completed between 1980 and 1990, but all were dismantled before South Africa signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1991

Wines from South Africa - James Melendez
South African wine has a long lineage starting in approximately 1659. There are 60 wine regions or Wines of Orgin and there are over 100,000 hectares of wine grapes planted 247,000 acres.
Chenin Blanc (Steen) is king in South Africa -- it is about one fifth of all vines planted. Though Pinotage gets a large share of attention it is over 5% wine grape production--Caberent Sauvignon is the # produced red grape varietal. Pinotage (cross between Cinsault and Pinot Noir) is the largest produced red wine but captures a lot of attention for South Africa--to some an acquired taste--there are many different Pinotages ranging from gamey to spicy / intense dark red fruit.
There are 60 wine producing regions in South Africa; Stellenbosh, Constantia, Paarl, Franschhoek, Breede River Valley, Klein Karoo
South Africa implemented it's Wines of Origin programme in 1973 and South African wines utilise a stamp on top of each bottle: Gesertifiseer.

South Africa Experience - Kruger Park Safari VLOG#62: Lion King in real life!
// KRUGER PARK AT IT'S BEST: Living the Lion King-dream during our Safari in South Africa!
A lifelong dream came true: We visited South Africa! We were there for 12 days and really made the most out of it!! This video is the third of the three South Africa VLOGs that I made and is all about our Day 9-12 of our South African Adventure!
DAY 9: We woke up early and headed to Port Elizabeth Airport where we had our domestic flight to Johannesburg. We then drove for more than 6 hours from Johannesburg to our hotel just before the Paul Kruger Gate.
DAY 10: We woke up in the car, took a shower and got ready for the Safari! We arrived at the Paul Kruger Gate and as everything was already booked, the paperwork went very quickly and just after entering the park we saw a mommy elephant with her baby! We drove to Skukuza Rest Camp for breakfast. Then continued our trip towards Lower Sabie, the rest camp where we were going to stay for the next 2 nights. On the way we saw many springboks, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, baboons and vervet monkeys. Welcome to Kruger!
When we had finished setting up our tent, we got ready for the Sunset Drive, which was organised by the rest camp. It is a relatively cheap option to not book a private tour and still go out of the rest camps after opening hours. We loved it, the guides are very knowledgeable and know how (and where) to spot the animals. We were so amazed to see two lions just next to the road!
DAY 11: We had the alarm at 4 o'clock as our Sunrise Drive started at 4:30am! It was beautiful to see the world waking up. More and more birds started to sing, the hippo's went back into the water after they had been eating grass the whole night, the zebra's were running to go to the nearest waterhole and we saw them drinking all together! Just before returning to the rest camp, our guide was told that there was a crocodile in a lake nearby, so we drove there to watch!
The rest of the day we went out on our own, we got to see a rhino far away. The only rhino we have seen. They are not indicated on the maps with the colored magnets, to reduce the chance of poaching. We were looking for a leopard that would have completed the Big Five, but couldn't find any. We talked with a couple that had seen already 3 of them in the past two days. It really depends if you're lucky to be at the right place at the right time!
After dinner we went to do the night drive! It was a bit more difficult to take pictures and photos in the night, but we could hear the sounds of many animals and it was very impressive!
DAY 12: We woke up in our tent from the heat! In February it is summer in South Africa and during the day it was around 40 degrees in the Krugerpark. At night, the temperature didn't really go down as much as we'd hoped! After breakfast, Diego overheard people saying they spotted a cheetah not so long ago! Diego asked where he found it and we got into the car right away to see if the cheetah was still there. We were lucky, we found it quite soon! There were two cheetahs laying under a tree and we got very good close ups from both of them! We were told that it only happens a few times per year that the cheetahs come this close to the road! That kind of made up for the fact that we hadn't seen any leopards.
Via Pretoriuskop rest camp we drove back towards the gate, as we still had to drive about 6 hours to get to Johannesburg Airport and catch our flight at 11:55pm.
What an AMAZING experience, we are sure we will come back some time in the future!
Thank you for watching!! Have you seen part one yet?
A helicopter flight over the Cape Peninsula, visiting Penguins in Boulders Beach, riding horses near giraffes and zebras in Stellenbosch.. Click here!
And how about part two? Spotting Elephants and Lions at Addo National Park, Watching whales, dolphins and seals at Plettenberg Bay, Hiking the Tsitsikamma waterfall trail and close up with Zebra's in De Hoop Nature Reserve - This really is the Garden Route at it's best!
Enjoy watching!!

African Safari - Arathusa Lodge - Sabi Sands, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Cape Town
Our honeymoon to Arathusa Safari Lodge in the Sabi Sands, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Cape Town. Meeting the San Bushmen, camping in the Okavango Delta, Chobe River cruise, discovering Victoria Falls and diving with Great White sharks
The first part of our trip we stayed at Arathusa Safari Park. Our ranger Mike Lester and Tracker Normam did a fantastic job in showing us the big 5 and more.
We then went on a G Adventures Tour starting in Windhoek, Namibia where we drove to Maun, Botswana. Here we met the San Bushmen where they told us about their way of life and performed traditional dances.
From there we went to the Okavango Delta. We had a helicopter flight over the Okavango Delta and camped overnight. A scary experience! Our trip took us to Chobe National Park where we had a river cruise down Chobe River.
This G adventures tour ended at Victoria Falls with a helicopter flight and tour around the falls.
After that we flew to Cape Town and stayed in Camps Bay, went on local wine tours to Stellenbosch, diving with Great White Sharks and went up Tabletop Mountain.

About the Ndlovu Youth Choir:
Can participation in a music program change the lives of even the world’s most disadvantaged children? The choristers of the Ndlovu Youth Choir are living proof that it certainly can. This vibrant youth choral ensemble chants, harmonizes, and tip-toe-taps their way through a powerful 11-language repertoire that includes a sampling of all things South Africa: from isicathamiya (is-caht-a-MEE-ya), the a cappella genre accompanied only by body percussion, made famous by Ladysmith Black Mambazo, to ancient tribal chants, contemporary gospel, Afro-pop and Afro-jazz from the repertoires of Hugh Masekela and Miriam Makeba, and uplifting choral music written exclusively for the choir.
Founded in 2009, this exuberant group has toured southern Africa and Europe with their multi-sensorial performances to significant critical and audience acclaim. The members are selected by audition from the young people from the Ndlovu Care Group, a community program providing healthcare, early childhood education, after-school activities, and more to rural Moutse, Limpopo, South Africa. Program directors find that, because of the time commitment of the choir, as well as the values of self-discipline, self- confidence, and leadership that participation imbues, choristers have lower rates of drug use, delinquency, and teen pregnancy than their peers.
It’s about more than just staying out of trouble, though. The choir offers an early pathway to artistic and professional achievement that is so often only available to children from affluent backgrounds, but it also offers a connection to the children’s ancestral roots and allows them to share those cultural roots with the world. It’s a profound gift in both directions, and one which the singers themselves say fills them with hope: for a better life and for a better world.
