Set high above the Sabie River valley with abundant emerald views lies an extraordinary Balinese-cum-Moroccan-styled romantic getaway inspired by Timimoun of the Sahara. The Timamoon Lodge complex is a bushveld paradise with a difference that's pretty much faultless – and it should be for its hefty price tag.

This is probably the closest place for Gautengers to try white-water rafting and it's just 20 minutes away from Sandton. Here are ten of the best ways to get outdoors in the City of Gold.
On a recent trip to Cape Town, I made like the locals and hiked up Lion's Head for the first time. The trail circles its way all around the mountain and it's the best place to get a 360-idea of the cape with views of Table Mountain, Robben Island, Clifton and the City Bowl.
We left the office at three on Friday and I had no idea where we were headed. All it takes is "Let's have a surprise weekend adventure" and I'm there. It's been exactly a year since the last visit to Dream Lodge and our second stay in one of the lodge's secluded, simple stone cottages was even better. Agama Cottage is a truly idyllic escape for two.
Sometimes city weekends get bogged down in to-do lists, expensive parties and pure laziness. Summer's still here, the rivers are flowing, the veld lush and the great outdoors beckons. Drive 40-minutes in the direction of Hartbeespoort and do one of the Hennops Hiking Trails.
Tucked into the middle of the Great Karoo Loxton is probably the smallest town I’ve ever been to. It has enormously wide dirt roads (big enough for a truck to do a u-turn in, I'm sure) lined with century-old trees. It's become something of a South African star thanks to an Afrikaans movie Jakhalsdans, which was set in this remote location.
