For a very long time, Africa was still a (mostly) blank spot on my travel map. In fall 2018, I managed to change that with a trip to South Africa (and Lesotho).

At the Cape of Good Hope
I have finally arrived at the last stop of my vaction in South Africa: Cape Town. From there, I took a day tour to the Cap Peninsula today, visiting Hout Bay, Cape Point, the Cape of Good Hope, and Boulder Beach. Continue reading At the Cape of Good Hope

Hiking in the Maloti Mountains
For the last one-and-a-half days, we explored Lesotho mostly on foot: We did some hiking in both Bokong Nature Reserve and in Ts’ehlanyane National Park. Continue reading Hiking in the Maloti Mountains

Our next stop in Lesotho was the pride of the country – and interestingly enough, one of the major tourist attractions: the Katse Dam. Continue reading Masterpiece of engineering
