Do you

The first quarter of the year is done, and already I feel like I need a vacation! But thankfully in South Africa we have loads of weekend spots to explore, irrespective of which province we live in.

I think one of the key lessons I learned as a result of all our Covid-19 lockdowns, is to experience more! For me that means taking advantage of and realising how awesome SA actually is. Considering I have not won the Lotto as yet, leave is sometimes a bit scarce, but even if it’s just driving out to the winelands, picnicking at a park, or doing a one-day hike, being out and about is fantastic for the soul.

Having lived in various provinces I can say that each province has its own unique offerings of nature, entertainment, history, adventure and more. Coupled with the grace and openness of South Africans, we are indeed spoiled for leisure pursuits.

Budget constraints? There are plenty of accommodation options that cater to your pocket, and there are loads of free or low-cost activities to enjoy. Family venues – loads! Considering we are in autumn, which has great weather – not too hot or too cold – we have no excuse.

In this issue we have an exciting section called "Into Africa" (page 73) where we feature some fab destinations outside of South Africa. We feature Mozambique and Malawi, in addition to some great getaway spots to experience!

Enjoy autumn and live your best life!
