Pure, Distilled Africa Returns To Authentic Safari Singita Game Reserves has launched Singita Explore, a transformational new travel concept that will take guests on a private mobile safari to some of Africa’s most remote and romantic wilderness sites. The new product has been custom designed to meet global trends, and the demand from discerning travellers for privacy, exclusivity and closeness to nature. Singita Explore rolled out in East Africa earlier this year within the 340 000 acre (142 000ha) Singita Grumeti Reserves, situated along the Western corridor of Tanzania’s legendary Serengeti. A completely exclusive, true ‘mobile’ camp, Singita Explore is a unique, modern safari experience unlike any other. Singita Explore puts the adventure back into ‘going on safari’, offering a journey of exploration on an exclusive-use basis for between 2 and 12 guests only. It is an ideal component of an East African safari itinerary within the Singita Grumeti Reserves, including stays at its three different lodges: Singita Faru Faru, Singita Sabora Tented Camp and flagship Singita Sasakwa, the only Relais & Châteaux property in East Africa.
Touching the earth lightly, everything about the mobile camp is designed for minimal energy consumption.With little environmental impact. Guests will return from game drives to en-suite hideaways where canvas walls frame contemporary details infused with the durable textures of Africa. Designed by Cécile & Boyd’s around a theme that is modern, robust and stylish, with wholesome furnishings that are real, utilitarian and comfortable - in steel, leather, timber, rubber and natural fabrics, Singita Explore removes the clutter of everyday life with a safari that is both luxurious and uncomplicated. Singita’s innovative signature style and dedication to conservation embodies the design and purpose of Singita Explore. Luke Bailes, CEO of Singita Game Reserves says privacy and exclusivity too are key signatures of the Singita Explore concept. ‘With Singita Explore we see the return of raw authenticity to days spent in the bush, and nights under canvas in the wilderness. Luxury is still there, but we’re doing it differently - comfortable and detailed, with the excess taken out, and yet, retaining the element of luxury to offer a very beautiful safari adventure experience. Singita Explore is back to basics, pure distilled Africa without modern-day distractions to guarantee closeness to wildlife and untouched landscapes.’
Unlike other camps, which are seasonal and semipermanent, Singita Explore will be disassembled and moved to different locations in accordance to nature, its rainfall patterns, vegetation, and game movements that include the annual wildebeest migration - one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on earth. The mobile safari camp will be fully staffed with a private guide and game viewing vehicle, chef and a camp host, with each itinerary individually tailored according to guests’ personal interests, and preferred safari activities. Within Singita Grumeti Reserves, Singita Explore will also offer equestrian mobile tented safaris, providing an opportunity for horse lovers to spend their days riding on the open plains of the Serengeti, and the evenings gathered around the campfire, sharing stories and experiences. Equestrian group departures have been set for specific dates to accommodate up to eight riders from different parts of the world, brought together by their love for riding and nature. Elsewhere, the new Singita Explore brand may in future extend into some of the other pristine wilderness reserves where Singita holds exclusive concessions Singita Game Reserves www.singita.com Tel: +27 21 683 3424 Email: Reservations@singita.co.za

The Seychelles
to taste them; every palm and nut belongs to the government and each nut is worth around R2500!
“Seychelles – As Pure As It Gets” 'Thick, powdery sand crunches then crumbles underfoot and a sea of impossible blue shimmers under the African sun. Waves roll lazily into shore, receding to reveal spindly crabs tap-dancing their way across the beach. Apart from the sound of the ocean, the only noise is the breeze in the trees and the occasional thud of a fallen coconut. There is no one else in sight. This is paradise.' The 115 islands of Seychelles boasts crystal-clear waters, soft, white beaches and, a nut so rare you're not even allowed to taste it! On the island of Praslin lies the quiet secluded valley, Vallee de Mai, which is home to the magnificently vulgar Coco de Mer palm. These trees are distinctive male and female palms, one with a flowered catkin looking like a vibrant male organ, and the other burgeoning with nuts shaped like the choicest part of a woman’s anatomy. Each Coco de Mer nut needs a licence to export; it is illegal ...
The Seyschelles are also a paradise for bird and plant life enthusiasts. Since the 100 plus islands have only had permanent residents for 235 years and even now the total population is only 81,000, the natural flora and fauna of the islands have survived since the world began. Even the main Seychelles island of Mahé is rewarding, where the Madagascan Fode or the Barred Ground Dove are familiar sights. The weather is beautiful all year round and always pleasant thanks to a constant ventilation with average temp between 25°C and 30°C. Being outside the cyclone zone makes the islands a year round destination for sun and beach lovers. Why we like the Seychelles: The Amazing Scuba Diving, amongst other things ...

HARVEY’S. Where good food and service dance to a finely orchestrated tune… Harvey’s goes the extra mile to create a loyal following with adult and younger patrons alike. The plentiful menu makes ordering lunch or dinner a treat and the value in itself is worthy of repeated encores and for more delicate mouths dessert is just splendorous. You might not find anything overly haute on the menu, but what you’ll find is a fine compliment to most tastes across the board, including delectable and innovative flavor combinations and efficient service. The atmosphere is classic bistro that spills onto the veranda and pavement terrace, cheekily covered in grass and the courteous staff deliver with a fine tuned knowledge of all the dishes and menu. We started with Crisp Fried Calamari served on a marinated aubergine with an avocado ice-cream and the
Peking Duck Salad … this got our taste buds lusting for more ... For our mains, it was Beef Fillet & Oyster Tempura on a cumin infused carrot puree, with wilted broccoli stems, served with rocket trickled with an intense shiraz reduction was just tickled with the right amount of flavor and all delivered without pretence. For dessert the definitive chocolate brownie accompanied by a nutmeg and cinnamon pot aux chocolate, and an intense dark chocolate and ginger ice-cream was sinfully delicious! In short, we will definitely return and work our way through the rest of the menu.

This is the KTM X-BOW These mark the entry into the fantastic world called X-BOW and of course to some degree, it is the attributes of these vehicles – aggressive design and sporting potential - that transform the KTM X-BOW R into the most outstanding super sports car available today. The ‘Street’ and the ‘Clubsport’ can generate 240 h.p thanks to the proven 2.0 TFSI Audi engine. The performance is no less impressive - beginning with the acceleration right up to the lateral acceleration in the curves – and of course you can have a whole lot of fun both on the road and the racetrack with both of these cars. For all those who regularly make at trip to the racing circuit there is a special KTM X-BOW designed specifically for their requirements and needs: the ‘Clubsport’. This car perfectly combines the requirements of a street legal vehicle with those suitable for the racing circuit, primarily because of the many features that directly derive from motorsports like the suspension, which with its adjustable shock absorbers (including preload adjuster) in pushrod arrangement is already familiar to the technology from Formula racing
cars, and with adjustable stabilizers and more precisely adjustable pushrods that offers both the semiprofessional and the passionate hobby driver a range of options. The steel roll bar, fire extinguisher, side protection drops, 6-point seat belts emergency stop switch, racing headrest and dry cell battery round off the list of special features. So whether its for Sundays or Track days these are special vehicles that will keep you smiling ! The KTM X-BOW is available in models ranging from a street version to a full blown Ready to Race machine.
THE NEW CONTINENTAL V8 MODELS
V8 to V4 mode under light throttle load....
This remarkable, new Bentley V8 engine delivers maximum power of 500bhp (507PS/373Kw) at 6000 rev/min and an extraordinary peak torque of 660Nm (487 lb ft) which is available across virtually the entire rev range from 1700 to 5000 rev/min, providing exhilarating performance and effortless power delivery in the Bentley tradition. Combined with a new close-ratio 8-speed auto transmission, this translates into a sub-5 second acceleration time for the 0-60 mph (0-100km/h) sprint and a top speed of over 290km/h.
Sporting style and contemporary interior
At the same time, the new V8 Continental models achieve outstanding levels of fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions for the luxury performance sector and are capable of travelling over 500 miles (800km) on a single tank of fuel. The arrival of the new V8 Continental models fulfils Bentley’s environmental commitment to produce a new powertrain that delivers a 40 per cent improvement in fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions. The new V8 engine also features variable displacement with a highly sophisticated engine management system, ensuring a seamless and imperceptible transition from ...

“With the new 4.0 litre V8 engine we are widening the appeal of the latest generation of Continentals, introducing a completely new driving experience. The new engine will have all the exhilarating power, drama and performance you would expect from a V8 engine sporting the famous Bentley wings, effortlessly delivered with our characteristic ‘wave of torque’. ”
However, such tales have arguably helped build the reputation of Honda's CBR1000RR, a full-on sporting literbike that shatters class stereotypes with its surprisingly accommodating manners. Thanks to its magnum-level performance along with a near-perfect blend of streetability, versatility, rider feel and balanced character, the CBR1000RR has for years held high the class standard for well-rounded capabilities. Of course, it helps greatly that the CBR1000RR is sized and weighs in alongside 600cc-class sportbikes, but that's a longstanding family trait. It barely seems like the blink of an eye, but it was 20 years ago that Honda ushered in the modern era of big-displacement street-going sportbikes with the CBR900RR. Back in 1992, the concept of "light makes right" produced a lightweight and compact CBR900RR that quickly established its standing as a wonder in its time. The CBR900RR not only delivered big-time power in a middleweight-sized package that begat exemplary handling, it also provided a heretofore unknown level of overall balance that gave the rider a direct, connected feel with the motorcycle. The motoring press and sportbike enthusiasts alike lavished praises on this ďŹ rst iteration of what grew to become an ongoing series, and the accolades continued
owing as successive models advanced that basic concept, which was-and continues to be-so capable and rewarding. We now see these endearing and enduring qualities carry forward to this day, embodied in the 2012 CBR1000RR. In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the CBR-RR and in keeping with the original concept, the 2012 CBR1000RR continues to supply exemplary liter-class sportbike performance, pumping out huge midrange ...
... horsepower and torque for class-leading real-world muscle in a great-handling high-performance package unmatched by the competition in its overall balance. Changes to the CBR1000RR for 2012 focus on sharpening what is arguably the most critical component in a motorcycle designed for sporting use: chassis performance. Granted, big-time horsepower always holds its own attractions and the CBR1000RR pours out huge quantities of horsepower and torque right in the midrange where literbike aficionados want it to be-after all, what's the point of having a peaky big-bore bike? However, it's the ultra-responsive middleweight-style handling that truly allows this large-displacement sportbike to shine.
New Suspension // New LCD Instrumentation Revolutionary Brakes // Hot Wheels
Honda's CBR1000RR is the essential superbike: the perfect balance of power and handling designed to work together as one complete package. The CBR900RR set the bar for liter-bike performance when it was introduced 20 years ago, and the new 2012 CBR1000RR sets that bar even higher. For 2012, the CBR1000RR boasts even better handling via a patented Balance-Free Rear Shock, Big Piston Fork and new wheels. Add to that a 999.8cc engine pumping out huge midrange horsepower and torque for class-leading real-world muscle, & you have a high-performance package unmatched in its overall balance by the competition. In addition, new aggressive bodywork aids aerodynamic flow and high-speed handling, and new LCD instrumentation including a lap timer, five-level shift indicator and more, redefine the pure essence of liter-class sportbikes.
New for 2012 Unit Pro-Link® rear suspension features a new, patented Balance-Free Rear Shock from Showa that incorporates a unique double-tube design featuring a damper case plus an internal cylinder for more responsive damping and a smoother, better-controlled damping action.
The new 43mm fork incorporates Showa's latest Big Piston Fork technology with a larger damping volume to effectively reduce the hydraulic pressure generated as the fork legs compress and extend. The result is more precise action during the initial stroke and smoother damping action, for improved handling, enhanced front-end feedback and a more solid feel during hard braking. New 12-spoke cast aluminum wheels provide more consistent rigidity. Together with the new suspension, these wheels offer improved feedback for the rider. New layered fairing design creates a large pocket of calm air around the rider to improve comfort while also helping draw air through the cooling system. An integrated chin spoiler in the nose also reduces aerodynamic lift to improve handling. Multi-function LCD instruments communicate all important information plus the option of four readout modes for tachometer display, lap timer, five-level shift indicator, gear position indicator and more. New revised fuel injection settings give the CBR1000RR a more linear response, particularly at smaller throttle openings. Revisions to the optional electronic Combined ABS create a new bias toward sporting/track riding conditions during rear brake application. New Red and Pearl White/Blue/Red colors join Black.

PEMF is the next step in personal wellness & health maintenance. The iMRS is the latest in PEMF therapy technology. When the cells in our bodies are shut down, either because of stress, toxins or aging, they can’t receive nutrition or oxygen, they can’t expel toxins and more importantly, they can’t communicate properly with one another. This is the perfect environment for illness and disease. Essentially, PEMF brings every cell in the body into perfect magnetic resonance in as little as 8 minutes a day. Once the cells are in this resonant state, the cells now can receive oxygen, turn it into energy, expel toxins and most importantly, they can again communicate thereby performing the functions that they were meant to do, whether it is of a metabolic, neurological, circulatory nature, whatever. PEMF encourages your body to start healing itself naturally. From back pain and allergies to heart problems and arthritus the iMRS and PEMF therapy are sure to help your condition.

Cut out all sugary, salty, fatty and processed foods (cold meats, breads, muesli, sweets, sodas, energy drinks, pastries, sausages, smoked foods). Plan meals, plan ahead of time and this way you will make sure to get the right nutrients to help accomplish your goals. Have a cheat day, with a cheat day in place each week, this will give you something to look forward to after a hard week of eating well and training hard. Eat every 3 hours, it will keep you blood sugar levels stable,increase your energy, keep your metabolism elevated which in turn means fat loss. Missing meals, you have to be prepared or you will end up skipping meals, this will slow down your metabolism, leading to fat gain. Eat foods like these: Fruits-grapefruit,apples,pears,strawberries,oranges (eat them earlier in the day) Carbs-oats,rice,sweet potato, protein-egg whites,lean beef, tuna, salmon, chicken breast, low fat cottage cheese Vegetables-Broccoli, spinach, green beans, cauliflower, mixed vegetables, Asparagus Fiber, is critical to regularity and if you get backed up your body becomes very toxic, It also gives you the sensation of feeling full, so you won't binge on junk food. Healthy fats, are required for many bodily functions,energy and hormone production which are vital for fat loss, moderation is the key though, nuts (cashew,almonds,macadamia) and oils (olive oil,fish oil,flax seed oil) Water, is essential to life so make sure that you are getting plenty of it,not drinking enough will result in decreased fat burning, dehydration, increased stress on the kidneys and liver.
SUPPLEMENTS START A TRAINING PROGRAM Weight training is vital, it is extremely effective for fat loss, start off slowly and focus on form, form is imperative, most people shun on weight training, thinking they going to get to big or hurt themselves, if done correctly it can have tremendous benefits, there is a big fallacy that you have to be fit to use weights, this is not true! Start off slow and build up as the weights get easier and less challenging, if you aren't sure on how to use weights correctly seek the advice of a qualified trainer even if it's for a few sessions to learn correct form and gain confidence. Each session should last 30-60 min, the key is to move fast and keep the repetitions high, with as little break as possible. Do cardio (walking,running,swimming,cycling) in the morning, do it on an empty stomach, your blood glucose levels are low due to not eating since dinner time the previous evening which makes it the ideal time for fat burning, start with bite size chunks of cardio rather than diving into multiple marathon sessions.
Protein shakes, play an important role, in this day and age sometimes sitting to have a meal is not an option due to work or being on the road, this is the ideal time to have a protein shake. Green tea, has many health benefits, powerful Antioxidant, burns fat, increases metabolism. L-carnatine, this amino acid is an extremely potent natural supplement, it increases body temperature by breaking down fats to be used as energy for burning fat, it also won't leave you all jittery like other fat burning supplements.
