The canyon has power and attraction compelling the visitor to gaze into its depth. These few points to a time when rainfall here would be significantly greater and the river evermore able to cover its channel through the granite landscape. This volca

Long before this was a national park, it held the fascination of a man who wrote this lovely old book, Mr. GA Farini and he fell in love with this place when it was undiscovered, wild frontier land. The Great Farini, otherwise known as William Hunt,

South Africa is a country that always creates an impression. We know of its diverse population, the troubled history of apartheid and its rebirth as a global travel destination. Ive been a fan of this country for many years, but this is my chance to

One river has single-handedly created whats known as the Green Kalahari. But my starting point is anything but green. This is true frontier country. That way is Namibia. And there, well, desert emptiness. Luckily for me, the Orange River has sculpted

Well, there it is, Molopo Gorge. And that has got to be Norberts little project tucked away. The hot springs were largely funded by a private benefactor and designed to draw all Green Kalahari visitors to Riemvasmaak. Ironically, the town with incons
