June 2019 issue is out!

Posted on 20 May 2019

In the June issue, Justin Fox scouts the best of SA’s Kalahari, Matthew Sterne camps on islands off the coast of Zanzibar on a new kayak tour, Kati Auld explores the Black Forest, Germany’s fairy-tale woodland on foot and Elise Kirsten drops into a bait ball during sardine season on the Wild Coast.

Gabrielle Jacobs finds the hip side of the old town Graaff-Reinet and Matthew Sterne camps on islands and paddles off the coast of Zanzibar on a new kayak tour. We also take a look at 11 superb stays in Pretoria.

Elise Kirsten – Sardine Run, page 86. 

Its dubbed the greatest shoal on earth – billions of sardines making an annual pilgrimage up South Africa’s east cost, trailing marine predators in their wake. Elise Kirsten went swimming with the ‘fishies’ off Port St Johns.

Kati Auld – Germany’s Black Forest, page 100.

Germany’s Black Forest is steeped in myth. A group of South Africans (and one Belgian) plotted an inexpensive walking holiday, combining affordable accommodation and free public transport to this fabled forest.

Justin Fox – Kalahari, page 54. 

The Kalahari is an elemental thirstland inhabited by strange, desert-adapted plants and animals. It’s the kind of place that draws you back again and again. On this road trip, we seek out the best that the South African Kalahari has to offer.

Matthew Sterne – Rim of Africa, page 78. 

The Rim of Africa is a nine-week, 650-kilometre mega-traverse of the Cape Fold Mountains. More than just a very long walk, it offers hikers full immersion in the mountain wilderness of the Western Cape.
