Top Restaurants in South Africa I went for an exquisite long languid lunch on a hill on a 5 Star Estate with 180-degree views. Bellavista Country Estate is situated between Stanford and Gansbaai. Read my restaurant review of Panorama Restaurant here and salivate over the photos if you like.
The stars in my glass ~ Genevieve MCC As a little girl, Melissa Nelsen wanted to become a pilot. Fortunately for champagne lovers, many visits to France and specifically Paris shifted her attention and desire to rather bring the skies to us. Genevieve is the patron saint of Paris and was believed to have protected the beautiful city from Attila the Hun. Melissa’s Genevieve Methode Cap Classiques is a magnificent zero dosage (no sugars added) Champagne.
The Hemel & Aarde Valley must exude Super-Oxygen as ‘Ex Africa Semper Aliquid Novi’ (Out of Africa always something new) seems to be their permanent motto! See what is happening at two of the award-winning wine estates of Creationwines and Sumaridge.

The creation of Richard von Geusau’s fine artisanal product begins with the best couvertures from Belgium. This chocolate is distinguished by its high cocoa content and absence of artificial flavours and vegetable fats. Each chocolate is meticulously handmade using only the finest original ingredients – fresh cream, roasted nuts and exotic liqueurs, to mention a few. Specifically, and in contrast to these more traditional chocolates, the range boasts those spectacular combinations of spicy and aromatic ingredients and flavours that have become the Von Geusau legend. Not least of the benefits from this exquisite chocolaterie is the passion for perfection and personal attention at all levels from the man behind the product ... Belgian trained Richard von Geusau ... a true entrepreneur and absolute master of his art. Greyton has adopted him and so have many others, including some of the country’s finest hotels and wine estates. Richard recently worked with the masterful Kevin Arnold at Waterford Wines…a collaboration that resulted in a world class wine and chocolate pairing. And now the fascinating options of branded whisky and chocolate are also underway. The romantic 15 year Von Geusau journey has delighted many. It is a journey we all need to partake in at some point in our lives. Von Geusau is chocolate from the heart.

Initially they just wanted their children to experience true health and wellness by eating only the best, pesticide-free, non genetically modified, organically grown and nutrient-dense food. Eating healthy and mindfully obviously lead to them all growing super healthy. When well-being shines from someone, every(clever)body wants to know what the source of their energy, beauty, radiance and bounce is. Their kitchen table became the place their friends came to find fresh and trustworthy food for their own families. Within a couple of months and with admirable faith, Familiér Farm Grocer was established from their home on Annandale Wine Estate.

Coastal Cleanups Antonio da Silva-Swart's passion lies with hiking the coast and organising cleanups along the Whale Coat coastline, either with school learners or volunteers from the area. On the first Saturday of each month, I hold a cleanup of the coast and collect the marine debris with Volunteers. The area gets decided after I have done a reconnaissance of the coast or one of my area specialists lets me know what it looks like in their area. The bags are sponsored by Plastics SA and I take the debris to Whale Coast Conservation Green House in Vermont, for analysing/counting and sorting. The results get emailed to Plastics SA for the annual international coastal cleanup day and yearly results. These results get sent to the International Coastal Cleanup Organisation for global reporting.
Volunteers can contact Antonio 0724624271 Please read these articles for more information and inspiration. A man with a passion for cleaning up. Groep maak maandeliks strand skoon. Residents join in cleaning up our coast. Please read more about and support the coastline cleanups! It is fun and you will feel great about your Eco-respecting participation.
Please consider helping these NPO's by donating or volunteering. The Grootbos Foundation is a non-profit organisation, established in 2003 with the VISION of conserving the Cape Floral Kingdom and uplifting the communities therein.
Panthera Africa Big Cat Sanctuary. While providing, managing and working closely with eight different species of predators, Lizaene Cornwall observed and experienced each species' uniqueness and capabilities, and realised that protecting and caring for big cats is her calling in life.
