Oudebosch: Kogelberg Biosphere
The Good Holiday recently visited Cape Nature's Oudebosch Biosphere.
This recent development in the epicenter of South Africa's flower kingdom was done on an already existing footprint. It is the kind of architecture that is fundamental in getting people to fall in love with our landscapes and treasure the nature reserves.
Sometimes we associate sustainability and green development with a slap-dash hippie approuch and discomfort, but this just showed me that you can dramatically reduce your impact on the world and still have a beautiful and comforting experience.

Secret Hike Franschhoek | Mont Rochelle Nature Reserve | Fostered Culture (2019)
Fostered Culture Explored a Secret Hike on the Mont Rochelle Nature Reserve, on the Franschhoek Pass!
We decided to be well-behaved, healthy, young adults and took a lovely hike to our secret location on the Mont Rochelle Nature Reserve, just off the Franschhoek Pass.
20 minutes down into the valley and up the stream and we get to this amazing rock pool where we froze our testicles off and did some gnarly backflips.

I'm a South African vlogger currently living in Wild Wild Somerset West, but I've kinda stayed all over the place - from Cape Town, Betty's Bay, Villiersdorp and even ... ehem...Kuilsriver. i'm not sure what the end game will be from this vlog. Right now I'm really just having fun recording and capturing parts of my day to day life. I find the editing process fun, challenging and massively rewarding.
Kogelberg Hike
A Wonderful weekend hike in the Cape Nature Kogelberg reserve. Even with the pressing drought in the Western Cape, the Palmiet river was running strong.

Hottentots Holland Nature Reserve
Our 2 day hike up the Hottentots Holland Mountains. A fairly easy hike and not too long. This is the 1st time I used You-Tube to create a video and it saved before I could add the last few photo's of day two and I cannot find the function to fix it :(
Panorama Camp Site, Tulbagh
This beautiful, and very quiet camp site is nestled in the foothills of the Grootwinterhoek mountain range, just outside Tulbagh.

Cape Town Hiking - Silvermine Nature Reserve Trail Noordhoek
Jason, Pablo (The Pekingese hiking dog) and I, hike the Silvermine hiking trail in Noordhoek, Cape Town in South Africa.
Located in the central section of the Table Mountain National Park (TMNP) Silvermine offers some of the best hikes in the Park and hiking in Cape Town, with beautiful fynbos landscapes. There is plenty to take in, in and around Silvermine – a short and wheelchair-friendly boardwalk around the dam, a beautifully therapeutic river walk, a light walk to the Silvermine waterfall, bird spotting, picnics, dog walking and mountain biking, to name but a few.
After the Cape hike, we ventured off to Cape Point Vineyards where we did a wine tasting of their awesome Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. I also discuss the future intention on the wine reviews and wine farms visits, which will no longer be uploaded to YouTube, but rather on The Wine Oak Facebook page and on The Wine Oak website.
