Travel Diary: South Africa and Lesotho 2018

Hiking at Amphitheatre

October 30, 2018 Bernhard Kabelka Bergville, South Africa Leave a comment

I spent the last two-and-a-half days in the Northern Drakensberg region. The first one-and-a-half days I did something which is (for me) quite extraordinary: nothing. Only yesterday, I went on a day hike to the Amphitheatre and Tugela Falls. Continue reading Hiking at Amphitheatre →

Visiting the Basotho

October 23, 2018 Bernhard Kabelka Matsoaing, Lesotho Leave a comment

The first 24 hours in Lesotho was dedicated to getting to know the Basotho (as the local people are called): We visited a sheep shearing shed, have seen some traditional crafts and dances, visited a traditional healer, and stayed at a rural homestay. Continue reading Visiting the Basotho →

(Beach) Bums in Durban

October 19, 2018 Bernhard Kabelka Durban, South Africa Leave a comment

The short time I spent in Durban (just 14 hours) has not left much time for exploration. However, what I have seen does not really make me want to see more. Continue reading (Beach) Bums in Durban →

October 18, 2018 Bernhard Kabelka Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa Leave a comment

I spent the last three days in the Madikwe Game Reserve on several game drives. Even though it is still the first week of my holiday, I can already say that this was for sure one of the highlights of my trip. Continue reading My first safari →

October 14, 2018 Bernhard Kabelka Johannesburg, South Africa Leave a comment
