From quirky rubber ducky races to adrenaline sports, outdoor activities and first-rate cuisine, art and wine, this bountiful …

Maldives ~ a look at biodiversity

by capetowndiva March 8, 2022

The Maldives is a spectacular Indian Ocean archipelago and by now you’re aware that I am a huge fan. Renowned the world over as the consummate tropical island getaway,  the intoxicating destination is a magnet, not just for sun-worshippers drawn to the turquoise lagoons and powdery white beaches, but for …

TABLE MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK ☀️ One of the bes TABLE MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK ☀️ One of the best nature outings in the Mother City is the Pipe Track walk above Camps Bay, in the shadow of The Twelve Apostles.

In total, this is a 9.3-km loop trail in the Table Mountain complex that takes about 2 & 3/4 hours to complete in its entirety. 

Moderately challenging, it’s a stunning experience & kids love it as well. The views across the ocean & Camps Bay beach are sensational. 

Walk it or run it & in peak summer, be sure to do so in the earlier part of the day when it’s still cool. 

And end off with coffee at the @thepowerandtheglory ☕️ 

⚠️ Caution: don’t walk after 16h00 as there is a risk of muggings - doesn’t happen often but always best to go when there are people around.

McGregor Village is 2 hours outside of Cape Town. It’s a beautiful road trip that takes you through the scenic Du Toit’s Kloof mountain pass & along part of Route 62. In the village itself there are coffee shops, restaurants, gift shops & bars. For the adventurous you can walk / hike / run / horse ride along numerous trails close by. For excursions to other places nearby, consider Montagu, a 20 minute drive away, a fabulous town.

CAPE TOWN ☀️ Summertime in Cape Town! Catch go CAPE TOWN ☀️ Summertime in Cape Town! Catch golden hour on Signal Hill & Lions Head- it’s glorious in the early mornings! There are fewer joggers about (make sure you’re not alone!) & the paths below Lions Head are clear for a walk or a run. Soak up the 360 degree views at the same time & celebrate the fact that you’re in the most stunning of cities- Cape Town! 

If you’re into an easy jog, the track parallel to the contour road delivers- it takes about 10 minutes from one end to the other (the first section) & gets your heart rate up nicely- keep your eye on the uneven terrain though, else you can easily twist an ankle!

TULBAGH ☀️ Writing up my Tulbagh piece for Get TULBAGH ☀️ Writing up my Tulbagh piece for Getaway; loved the town! I’ll let you know when I post link to bio ✍️ 

If you’re on the heritage town trail, factor Tulbagh onto your itinerary, settled off Route 62 in a fertile basin framed by spectacular mountains. Within spitting distance from Ceres and Wolseley, this is where you’ll find lashings of historical charm, quirky events like the annual rubber ducky derby, adrenaline sports, outdoor activities, gourmet cuisine, art and premium wines. Take the trip and find something that floats your boat (or duck!) in this beautiful Boland hamlet ninety minutes from Cape Town.
