Southern African Safari
This presentation is dedicated to Louis, Lizelle and Carol, whose hospitality complemented the natural beauty, entrepreneurial vivacity and cultural depth of South Africa and Botswana during a 2012 trip.
While it is unapologetically lengthy (almost 15 minutes), anything less would be an injustice to the astonishing splendour of Cape Town and the other-worldly moonscape of Kubu Island.
The presentation includes still photography, depicting the awe-inspiring magnificence of Africa's wildlife - including the rare rhino, wild dog and cheetah - as well as video footage of horse- and elephant-back safaris (Horseback Africa and Adventures With Elephants), walking with lions (Horseback Africa), and the world's second largest game reserve, the Central Kalahari.
The viewer will also visit cultural icons such as the imposing Voortrekker Monument, paying homage to the pioneering spirit of the Afrikaner, as well as the Afrikaans Language and Huguenot Monuments.
No trip to South Africa would be complete without a meandering detour through the Cape's illustrious wine routes, particularly Franschhoek.
The presentation concludes with an overnight trip along the Cape's untamed West Coast, famous for fishing villages and mouth-watering seafood!
OSTRICH FARM VISIT BY AFRICAN MALLU TRAVELLER
OSTRICH FARM CAPETOWN SOUTH AFRICA
White farmers killings - Straight through Africa | VPRO Documentary
In the countryside of South Africa, the white farmer is still at the helm, as if nothing had changed after the abolition of Apartheid. But there is unrest in the townships. How long can the farmers imagine themselves to be a chosen people?
When Bram interviews him, Julius Malema sounds pretty reasonable. White farmers do not have to be afraid, says the politician who started ANC for himself after a career in governing party ANC. Their knowledge is very valuable. He only wants to ensure through sales that much more land comes into the hands of black farmers.
Malema sounds slightly different on stage. He calls for example: If we have to die to claim our country, then that is only true. Or even: Shoot to kill! Kill the farmer! He gives a voice to the frustration that many blacks have. Twenty years after the abolition of Apartheid, little has changed in rural areas. Almost all the land is in the hands of whites. How do they themselves think about it?
In a village where Bram has been more often, the atmosphere is bitter. There has just been a robbery, the umpteenth. Every farmer has firearms, high fences and steel doors here. And there is patrolled at night. Are farmers the victims of ordinary crime, or are they conscious attempts to drive them from the land they have been living on for generations?
They are convinced of the latter themselves. A farmer's wife: They want to frighten us. They break in and wait until you come home. Then they shoot the man and rape the woman. But these emigrants do not think of emigration. Not even after a violent robbery: I was born here and I will be buried here.
The black residents of the area are also embittered. Life is bad here, says a man. He has no job - the farmers prefer to hire servants from other countries in Africa, because according to them they work harder and do not drink. In the stone house that he received as compensation for a shooting, he can not flush the toilet due to lack of water. And through the fences that are everywhere in the surrounding country, he feels as if he is locked up. He also thinks he can not live anywhere else than here.
Does Julius Malema get his way and the white domination of the South African countryside becomes something of the past? For the time being, he certainly does not have the say, because at the elections in May this year his party won 6.35 percent of the votes. The ANC almost ten times as much, so that party is still supreme.
Straight Through Africa
Episode 2 - The promised land
In the South African countryside white farmers are still in charge, as if nothing has changed since Apartheid was abolished. But there’s unrest in the townships. How long can the farmers continue to consider themselves a chosen people?

Child Prostitution - South Africa's Young Street Walkers
Innocence for Sale (2001): At the busy street corner in downtown Pretoria, Elize looks for her clients, men from all walks of life looking for sex with a child. She says she is 16, but sells herself to men as a 14 year old.
For downloads and more information visit
At the busy street corner in downtown Pretoria, Elize looks for her clients, men from all walks of life looking for sex with a child. She says she is 16, but sells herself to men as a 14 year old. I know it is a sin but what else can I do? I am doing it for a living. Elize and her 14 yr old sister are drug addicts and have unprotected sex with customers every day. For virtually all the children, drugs and prostitution go hand in hand. We use drugs to forget about the past, says Elize. Lots of mothers let their daughters go out and do this so they can get money for drugs says another. Organisations like the Teddybear clinic try and find a Place of safety for girls such as Elize, but the problem is the girls do not stay. Luke Lampbrecht from the Teddybear foundation believes the government is failing to address the heart of the problem: They come from situations of severe abuse and their only way out is to sell their bodies. What does that say about our society?

Meet the illegal sex workers on SA's dark streets and the people who help them
Sex work is illegal in South Africa. However, 150,000 sex workers are known to work throughout Mzansi. Sunday Times took a ride with SWEAT (Sex Workers Education and Advocacy Taskforce) on their outreach program to serve sex workers.
SWEAT aids sex workers by providing them with contraceptives, paralegal advice and a helping hand to any problems they face.
There has been increased pressure on the Department of Justice to bring in new legislation in an attempt to protect sex workers.

Riding the Flying Dutchman Funicular
I visited Cape Town in August 2013. While in Cape Town I took a trip to Cape Point to check out the lighthouse and panoramic views. An easy way to get to the top or bottom is via the Flying Dutchman funicular (about a 3-4 minute trip) - this is what the ride down looks like. Video was shot with my Nikon D7000.
Flightless Bird Assists Tourism Taking off in South Africa
Ostriches are helping the regional tourism sector taking off in South Africa's Western Cape.
Raw ostrich meat is still not allowed to be exported into Europe, the United States and Asia but the bird is making a comeback as tourist attraction in Western Cape.
So I would say that is the second biggest tourism attraction in our town. Obviously the Cango Caves is number one, said Niel Els, managing director of Turnberry Boutique Hotel.
Foreign visitors are the mainstay of the ostrich tourism industry. But the African market penetration in this region is undeveloped. Continental visitors do not venture to this part of the country. Cape Town and Durban are thee big draw-cards.
“However out here it is a minuscule contribution to our feet that come through Highgate. We do 1,800 people a week in high season. Then two percent of those might be Africans from Central and Northern Africa,” said Jan Bester, manager of Highgate Ostrich Show Farm.
Visitors to this neck of the woods are traditionally from Western Europe, but the visitor profile has been changing.
So they will, they still remain our core industry, our core business, but we are actively and excitingly growing our markets into the new emerging markets which will be the Chinese and the Indian markets, said Bester.
However, it is not all plain sailing. It is widely understood that visa application offices in the two main centers in India were badly understaffed with dire consequences.
Two years ago it was the Indian market. The problem with that is we had 10,000 less Indian travellers to Oudtshoorn the last year than the previous year. And this is 100 percent due to the visa scandal in India. said Els.
The sector now waits to see what kind of impact the newly introduced Home Affairs rules on in person visa applications and the need for full child traveller birth certificates will have.

UNIQUE Trips To Take Around The World
While everyone heads to all the major spots like big cities, tropical vacays, and the biggest national parks, you should consider taking a step back and then stepping outside that bubble. Here’s a few places where you’ll have a totally unique vacation at.

8. From Kiev To Chernobyl
Not everyone’s flocking to the Ukraine for a quintessential European vacation, but htey just might be soon. Did you know you could also travel the underground of Kiev? It seems Europeans loved their subterrain. Kiev presents a mix of the modern and the historic, a place not as populated as other big cities in Europe, so getting around might be less of a hassle. You get to also see how the newer century contrasts with that of the USSR history in the Ukraine in much of its architecture. What’s more is that they even permit tourism in the old nuclear site of Chernobyl. The Exclusion Zone even has hotels, so for those who dare, there’s a place to stay.
7. Into The Amazon
The Amazon Rainforest is a vast place not for the weak. While there’s some beautiful sights to behold, make sure you’re to a relatively good level when it comes to your physical strength. Be a real explorer and explore this South American jungle. There’s a diverse amount of flora and fauna you’ll encounter in the Amazon, which takes up an area of over 2 million square miles or over 5 million kilometers squared. There’s a number of rainforest tours to choose from. If you like suspension bridges, make sure you pick one that takes you along the Emerald Trail.
6. On A Safari
Get out of your comfort zone and go on a safari. Observing game in the wild is way more authentic than a zoo, so if you really love mother nature and animals, then you should do yourself a favor and book a flight to Kenya and Tanzania for their world famous safaris. There’s a few national parks and game reserves where humans can peacefully observe nature without disturbing the actual landscape. When you’re not looking at animals, you can visit the nearby villages and get a taste of the local culture and traditions.
5. The Napa Wine
Again, this isn’t a trip for those looking for that adrenaline rush. So if you’re into a leisurely time, there’s no better place to head to than Napa Valley. Maybe you’re not even big on wine. You might just turn into one, however, once you visit this county just north of San Francisco. Wine-tasting might seem like something for really refined people to do, but you never know what kind hobbies you’ll pick up. Some of the best winery tours in the valley include Hendry Ranch, the O’Brien Estate, and Schramsberg Vineyards which has caves caverns full of wine bottles.
4. Along The Mongolian Steppe
Meet adventure at the Steppe of Mongolia. That’s for sure going to be the most adventurous thing you could post on your social media that week. Called the Eurasian Steppe or the Great Steppe, this wilderness is an open plain of grass, mountains, and grazing wildlife. The Steppe route connects China, South Asia, the middle East, Central Asia and Eastern Europe, which made it a prime place to place trade routes. From the east to west, the Eurasian Steppe not only holds a lot of greenery, but also culture. Activities such as horseback riding, hiking, and the Naadam Festival which includes wrestling and archery, are a big part of the locality.
3. Run To The Rockies
North America is home to the huge mountain range called the Rocky Mountains, which most people just refer to as the Rockies. This natural formation spans for over 3,000 miles or 4,800 kilometers from British Columbia all the way down to New Mexico. So where do you go? It includes Yellowstone National Park, if you didn’t know, and that’s a vacation in and of to itself and is a hot spot for geothermal springs. Or maybe you’re more of a Grand Teton sort of person. If you wish to visit a city, then Boulder, Colorado is a big one on the list. For snow lovers, you can also choose to go to a place like Aspen.
2. Beaches, Food, Culture
A place rapidly becoming more and more popular amongst young people to visit is Thailand and why wouldn’t you? You could head to Bangkok and walk around the country’s capital or go down to Phuket and boat, swim, or walk around the beaches of the Phi Phi Islands. Trying going towards a time when tourist traffic isn’t so high, so avoid summertime because the beaches can get really dense. Another big reason younger people love going to Thailand is money. Compared to other countries, especially in the west, it’s relatively cheap to visit Thailand.

Chapman's Peak Drive (Cape Town) - Noordhoek to Hout Bay (watch in 480p and higher)
Chapman's Peak is the name of a mountain on the western side of the Cape Peninsula, between Hout Bay and Noordhoek in Cape Town, South Africa. The western flank of the mountain falls sharply for hundreds of metres into the Atlantic Ocean, and a spectacular road, known as Chapman's Peak Drive, hugs the near-vertical face of the mountain, linking Hout Bay to Noordhoek.
Chapman's Peak Drive is part of the route of two of South Africa's biggest mass-participation races, the Cape Argus Cycle Race and the Two Oceans Marathon.
