ack at Olivia’s Kitchen for my second visit in a week and I’m beginning to understand the appeal. This time, however, I’m seated on a plush leather couch with a regular. Kimberley Krieger is on a first-name basis with the waiting staff and Olivia’s is her playground. Go figure, since the twentytwo-year-old blonde bombshell is an are high. But with three semi-domesticated giraffes and Kim in the kitchen, they’ve managed to not only keep up, but flourish in the wavering economy.

For a foodie such as herself, the greatest reward is seeing her impeccably thought-out recipes and execution thereof put smiles on guests’ faces.

The Very Best of Namibia

Take home rich memories of adventure and luxury in the African wilderness from two lodges, on private reserves spanning 27,500 hectares, just two hours’ drive southeast of Windhoek. This is the spirit of Aru Game Lodges—a family-run company with an impressive commitment to proven wildlife and habitat conservation efforts, stellar customer service and attention to every detail. Aru offers two unique, well-appointed lodges — Kalakwa Lodge and Veronica Lodge — both a short drive from Windhoek, the capital of Namibia. Veronica Game Lodge is set in a Kalahari savannah landscape with red dunes and towering camelthorn trees. Perched on the crest of a dune, the 12 air-conditioned thatched chalets offer spectacular 360-degree views. Come and explore a variety of sightings with us, including three kinds of sandgrouse in Namibia. Kalakwa Game Lodge offers terrains ranging from savannah grasslands to bushveld and rocky hills. The six luxurious chalets overlook savannah landscape where there is an abundance of bird life with an enormous array of feathered friends to be explored and mapped. Birdwatchers are driven an abundance of locations with guided walks to ensure maximum sightings. After unforgettable days afield, guests are treated to luxury, elegance and privacy. Five-star cuisine. Star-filled skies. Relaxing campfires and tales of the day’s adventures. The unique ambiance that only Africa can offer abounds at Aru. And with world-class wing-shooting, photo safaris and game drives, horseback rides and quad biking, sundowner excursions and sightseeing and a relaxing sauna, there’s truly something for every taste, pace and passion.

Yours truly, Danene & Gysbert van der Westhuyzen
