Stellenbosch Wine Tour in South Africa
When it comes to indulgences few kinds of food/drink tours compare with a good quality wine tour. Fortunately for us our last full day in South Africa was spent hopping from vineyard to vineyard in and around scenic Stellenbosch with Wine Flies. Aside from the scrumptious wine and food the true highlight of this tour was visiting unique properties that differed considerably from one another. Join us as we sip our way around some of South Africa's best vineyards.

Stellenbosch Wine Tour in South Africa Travel Video Transcript:
So we have a fun day planned today. We're actually doing a wine tour around Stellenbosch so we're just going to be driving through the countryside sipping on wine. Let's get started. And eating cheese.
So we're pairing some white wines with cheese. I don't know which one I'm more excited about. I think maybe the cheese.
And this is my favorite cheese so far. It is called White Rock with cranberry. It tastes a little bit like cheesecake.
The last sweet red wine we tried tasted a little bit like Christmas cake. It was delicious.
Good to the last drop.
So we just finished our first wine tasting here at Fairview. We each tried six different wines with cheese. I think we're feeling pretty happy right now aren't we?
It is eleven fourteen in the morning right now and I'm already well greased.
So we've now arrived at our second vineyard of the day. This one is called Moroti and it has more of a rustic family feel. So let's go check that one out.
So this particular vineyard has a lot of character. It has a specially rustic feel. And it has just been cool touring around here. Given some of the areas what appear to be permanent cobwebs. It is pretty amazing.
So this is our third vineyard and this particular red wine is straight from the barrel. Oh, take a sip.
It's good.
And for dessert we are what? Roasting marshmallows. Over an open fire.
We're just missing the chocolate and graham crackers. Roasted to perfection. It's hot. Is it good?
Delicious?
Alright, I get the next one.
And here is how I like mine. Nice and crispy all over. That's a mouth full.
Alright, so we just finished a delicious braai lunch and we're feeling quite stuffed. But the tour isn't over. We still have two more vineyards to visit and apparently there is Biltong and chocolate on the menu. So I am looking forward to that.
They're going to be carrying us away on wheel barrels by the time we're finished.
So we are now at our forth vineyard. Everyone is wearing hats. I'm not sure why but we're going to go drink some wine in our fancy hats.
We've moved on from cheese to lunch. And now we've got chocolate. And over here I've got a chili chocolate so apparently you don't taste it too much when you're chewing it but when it goes down. When you're swallowing it that is when you really feel the burn. So let's see if that is true.
I don't taste it so much now. Maybe take a sip of wine and see what happens. Yeah, as soon as you swallow it you feel the burn.
Those are nice aren't they? Oh, you're getting a puppy massage. Puppy massage.
So we have now arrived at our fifth and final winery of the day. To be honest they're all starting to blend together because we've been drinking way too much wine but there is still a little room for a few more glasses so let's go in and sample some more.
Alright, so we've had cheese and we've had chocolate with our wine and now it is time for Biltong.
Which is a type of South African jerky. This is awesome, high quality, fresh Biltong.
Final impressions is that was a fantastic tour. It is actually our very last day in South Africa and I couldn't think of a more relaxing way to finish things off. The wine was fantastic. All of the food was really good. We had some excellent cheeses, chocolate and Biltong and we had a huge feast for lunch, so what a great way to wrap things up and that is it for us in South Africa.
This is part of our Travel in South Africa series. We're making a series of videos showcasing South African culture, South African arts, South African foods, South African religion, South African cuisine and South African people.

My aim is to upload video footage of fun trails wherever I go.
I am currently living in South Africa and figured my videos could serve as a good resource to help guide more people to trails, and give one a sense of what to expect, even though video footage can be quite deceiving.
Since online guides and trail reviews are a scarce-ish resource for South African trails at the moment, I aim to change that with these videos, and motivate more people to get out on the trails and contribute to the mountain biking community.

We went to round one of the UCI World Cup in Stellenbosch, South Africa to check out the best new cross-country mountain bike tech. And, being the first race of the season, there was a lot to see.
If you're only here for Nino's SRAM shifting, that starts here ????07:15
We saw Nino Schurter's SRAM wireless shifting – it has been around on the road for a long time in the form of SRAM Red eTap, but this is the first time that we've seen it in the wild at a mountain bike race. The rear derailleur (the shifter was super-secret) looked pretty much like the finished article. Is this good news for everyone who doesn't like cables? Probably. But, what do you think? Let us know down in the comments.
Also spotted for the first time was a new RockShox lockout on the Trek team bikes and new RockShox fork dampers.
Away from SRAM, Pauline Ferrand-Prevot looked to be riding a new Canyon full suspension setup. No word on a name or even what's different, but we'll keep you posted – so make sure you hit that subscribe button.

Touring Cape Point in Cape Town, South Africa
With our time extremely limited in Cape Town, we decided to take a Cape Point Peninsula tour to cover as many of the main scenic attractions in the surrounding area as we possibly could. Our hectic day included visiting Seal Island, Boulders Penguin Colony, and the Cape of Good Hope doing boat tours, hiking and biking. We spotted wild Ostriches and Baboons. At one point we spotted a baboon on top of a car with the lady inside freaking out. To say the day was eventful would be an understatement; however, the one wrinkle was that the weather was quite crappy. I really wish we could have done this tour on a nicer day.

Touring Cape Point in Cape Town, South Africa Travel Video Transcript:
So, good morning from rainy Cape Town. Today we've signed up to do a Cape Point and Peninsula tour. So we're going to be traveling down to Cape Point by bus. We're also hauling some bicycles along. So once we get there we're planning to go biking, do a little bit of hiking and we're going to see some sights along the way. It should be fun and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the rain holds off.
So this morning we're taking a boat tour to Seal Island and hopefully we'll spot some seals along the way.
We're going in search of penguins.
I've seemed to spot a rather large unusual penguin over here. It looks rather uncoordinated. And a little bit silly.
So we're not allowed to get too close to the penguins. They may be cute but they're quite vicious with their little beaks.
Alright, so this is where the fun begins. We've arrived at the Cape of Good Hope and right now we're unloading the bikes. We're going to get all suited up and get ready to go biking. Finally!
We're biking in a National Park and apparently it could be a bit like a mini safari. There has been a lot of animals spotted here. Especially baboons.
Having fun so far? I am but I look a little bit ridiculous but I'm trying to stay warm. It is windy out here.
Okay, so we've just finished biking five kilometers. Now it is time for our delicious lunch. What do we have? I'm going to enjoy this. We've got a lovely sandwich and Malay macaroni salad. I can't wait for that salad. Yeah, so we're going to fuel up and then keep biking for another six point five kilometers. So we need our energy.
Alright, so we have arrived at the Cape of Good Hope. This is the southwestern most point on the African continent. So as you can see over there lots of people snapping their photos.
The weather is still not cooperating with us. It is cold, it is wet, it is raining but we're still going to go for a hike so let's go find our guide and get going.
Smart phone? Hello? Aaahahaha. Go away! Okay guys, keep all windows locked. They smell food. Wow, she is screaming.
Well we didn't spot animals while we were actually on our bikes. But while we were in the vehicle we saw ostriches and we saw baboons. And the baboons were being crazy. One was right on top of a vehicle and a lady freaked out totally.
And that concludes our Cape Point tour. The sun is just coming out just as we're about to leave. That is just how it is sometimes.
This is part of our Travel in South Africa series. We're making a series of videos showcasing South African culture, South African arts, South African foods, South African religion, South African cuisine and South African people.
All photos and video taken by Samuel Jeffery (Nomadic Samuel) and Audrey Bergner (That Backpacker).

My favorite time in the Kgalagadi is late afternoons when you can hear the call of a Jackal while just enjoying the beautiful colors.

Kraaifontein Shooting Video - Where you also duped?
Today's lesson (and one for the foreseeable future) is: Fact Check Everything on Social Media or Shared With You as the SUPPOSED TRUTH. It could be, as the gentleman says in this video; KAK Praat.
The video above has been widely shared on Social Media and is JUST a MOVIE. When I first viewed it I said that it appeared that the person filming KNEW what was about to happen and was far too calm as an 'innocent' bystander. In my old age I have become cynical and cautious before sharing anything - and for good reason it would seem as the SAPS released this statement about the 'shooting': The circumstances surrounding the shooting incident yesterday morning at around 10:00 in Park Avenue, Scottsdene in Kraaifontein, which left a 25 year old man fatally wounded, and three other males, aged 17, wounded are under police investigation. We would like to place on record that no other shooting incident occurred in Kraaifontein yesterday, and social media reports of six people killed in the area is refuted by SAPS. We are aware of video footage being circulated on social media platforms where the occupants of a green VW Golf open fire at people in the street. This incident did not occur in Kraaifontein area. The irresponsible sharing of inaccurate news on social media platforms is strongly condemned as it creates unnecessary panic in the respective communities.
Cape of Good Hope Hiking Trail Day 1
The official Cape of Good Hope Trail is 35km, but we did nearly 42km with our little de-tours and walks. Come join me on the day 1 of the hiking trail where we hike the trail, climb up the hills, go down, go through medeows, sand and sand dunes, walk through the beaches, and enjoy our landscape photography adventure with fully packed backpacks with camera equipments, camera filters, tripod, and other accessories for hiking including food and water. Mustafa Karbanee, a 19 years old 1st year medical student from Stellenbosch University joins me for this hike to find peace, quiet, explore and taking landscape photos.

WESTERN CAPES | South Africa | 2017
My friends and I are currently travelling through the western capes of South Africa. On our way back to Cape Town we rested three days in Plettenberg where we went hiking at the Robberg Nature Reserve and the Tsitsikamma National Park, near Stormsrivier. Leaving the coast, we drove up to Oudtshoorn, the ostrich capital of the world which also features the impressive Cango Caves. Our last stop before leaving South Africa was Stellenbosch. Beautiful Wineries located at the hills before Cape Town, famous for their (free) wine tastings.
