There is so much to see and do in Cape Town that trying to cram everything into your holiday can be a challenge, but if there is one activity you simply shouldn’t miss – it is Lion’s Head Mountain. Part of Cape Town’s iconic backdrop, Lions Head watches proudly over the city, and while most…

South Africa may be famous for its ‘Big Five’ but there are plenty of little guys worth seeing too, and if you are planning to visit Cape Town anytime soon, you should definitely add a trip to Boulders Beach to meet the Boulders Penguin Colony.

Friday’s Photo Shoot – Lion’s Head Mountain Cape Town
Lion’s Head Mountain has become an Equatours tradition, and in order to stretch our legs after the Cape Town Cycle Tour (and recover after our infamous Cape Argus after party!), we make our way to the top of Table Mountain’s little sister, to enjoy spectacular vistas over the Mother City.

If, like us, you are a huge fan of South Africa, then you have probably already ticked Kruger Park, Sabi Sands, the Garden Route, Cape Town, and a whole host of inland treasures off your bucket list… but if you haven’t ventured up the west coast yet – you are in for a treat! During…
Save Those Air Miles on Your Next Flight – They are Worth More than You Think!
If, like me, you have a million different loyalty cards for your favourite airlines, but rarely remember to use them when booking a flight – it is time to dig them out from the back of your purse and check just how many points / avios / air miles you have available, as they could…
