GC1BR9V / S 33° 57.901 E 020° 42.281 In ‘n vorige uitgawe van Ultimate Lifestyle het ons vertel van Geocaching, die GPS-Skattejag speletjie. Die speletjie het ons geneem na ‘n waterval paradys op die Tradouw Pas. Die Tradouw pas lê tussen Suurbraak (naby Swellendam) en Barrydale in die Klein Karoo en is gebou deur die […]
Wie die naam Pepsi Pools gegee het, weet ek nie. Waarom die natuurlike poele so gedoop is, is egter duidelik. Die bergwater wat in die poel in loop is donker van kleur, nes Pepsi. Coke Poele sou net nie dieselfde impak gehad het nie. Brandewyndam sou nogal ‘n alternatief kon wees. “Die brandewyn dam waar […]
Dis darem nie elke dorp wat kan spog met fotos van toeka en nou, waar die huidige fotos ‘n groot verbetering toon nie. Hierdie is egter iets om op trots te wees. Vir dekades lank al is die Van Riebeeck Tuin ‘n lushof vir die mense van George om te besoek. Die Van Riebeeck Tuine […]
Article: Hugo Leggatt If you had been sitting on the Wilderness dunes in late August 1788 (nearly 230 years ago) it is unlikely that you would have seen any other people.

So a bunch of us decided to head for the Swartberg Mountains and spend the weekend soaring with Veraux Eagles in this edged mountain pass. Staying at the very comfortable and affordable Wilgewandel Holiday Farm chalets that is nestled in the foot hold of the pass and offers a variety of activities and eats, but […]
There is increasing evidence that the coastal plains of southern Africa were the early home to modern man, Homo sapiens. From here some would have moved out of Africa, ultimately to people the world. Others remained here and their descendants became the hunter-gatherers known to us as San or Bushmen. Figuratively, they trod lightly on […]
“Stop die horlosie!” Ons ouers lesers sal onthou hoe Scot Scott destyds uit helikopters gespring, oor berge geklim en in riviere geduik het op die TV program Skattejag. Dit was ‘n gejaag teen tyd om die skat op te spoor. Gelukkig hoef jy nie in die stokperdjie geocaching enige van die dinge te doen as […]
