Seeing leopards in the wild is a challenge.  The leopard often climbs high into trees to rest or to eat their kill and also often travels alone. Even in a safari-rich destination like South Africa, a sighting is rare. On our recent trip to South Africa, we stayed at Sabi Sabi which is actually known as […]

There is no doubt that Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.  This wasn’t news to me at all, but I had thought that I had seen how beautiful Cape Town could be.  I thought I had seen it all.  I was very wrong.  One morning, after breakfast at The […]

Today began at the palatial Fairmont Zimbali Resort outside of Durban.  It really doesn’t get much better then the Fairmont Zimbali – it is most certainly “Style Hi”.  Even though the day was beginning in South Africa, today would be spent in the mountain kingdom of Lesotho (pronounced locally as  le-soo-too) just a few hours away from […]
