Let Me Show You The South Africa I Love

For more than forty years, friends from around the world have asked me:

“If I only have one trip to South Africa, where should I go?”

This website is my answer.

I Came Because of Rugby

I stayed because I fell in love with the country.

Broadcasting gave me the opportunity to travel through South Africa, meet its people and get to know places I might otherwise never have seen.

More than forty years later, I am still discovering it.

South Africa - A World in One Country

Cape Town. The Winelands. Great golf. Big Five safari. The Garden Route. The Indian Ocean. Rovos Rail. Johannesburg. Food, wine, wildlife and people.

Few countries bring so much together so naturally.

Golf Is Part of the Journey

From Fancourt to Leopard Creek, Pearl Valley to Pinnacle Point, South Africa has some exceptional golf. What makes it different is everything around it.

Safari

The Big Five, wild dogs, cheetah, giraffe, pangolin, exceptional birdlife, great guides, conservation and remarkable lodges.

Food, Wine and People

Cape Town's restaurants. The Winelands. Long lunches. Winemakers. And the people who make South Africa worth coming back to.

These are the places I would recommend to friends.

Together with ADORE Africa, that is the South Africa I would like to show you.
