Rovos Rail. – On the Rovos Rail Journey between Cape Town and Pretoria, one of the stops is at my favourite historic Victorian Village Matjiesfontein. A place I love and frequent. What fun to arrive by rail and take the red bus tour with John the Entertainer. A wonderful all South African attraction.

What it offers – a Car Collection and Museum under the Platform. Railway Tracks connecting North with South. Happiness and history wherever I look. A koppie and veldt with 115 yrs of South African War secrets. Wonderful people, delicious food and endless gardens.

A very special place. If you missed it, I wrote a post about why you should turn of the N1 and spend time here.

The Incidental Tourist

The Incidental Tourist is a Personal Travel Blog of a conscious traveller with a deep love for Africa, its incredible people and the environment.

Here I bring you narratives, stories, video and photographs from my travels around the globe, including accounts of gorilla trekking in Uganda, turtle rescue in Kenya, tree planting in Zambia and setting up a temporary home in Lisbon. Not to mention falling in love with Marjorelle Blue in Marrakech.

Included too are accommodation and restaurant reviews, as well as details of the conservation efforts that I support.

A self proclaimed earth advocate and beauty seeker, I invite you to share in my love of sustainable impact travel – and the rich offerings of our beautiful world. With a long career as a Dream Holiday Maker, I can assist with travels arrangements to any of these areas too.

Travel Better, Not Less.
