Take time out to visit Prince Albert's little huisie
[Brian Berkman] Having a constant supply of water is what drew people to Prince Albert in the Karoo 250 years ago and it is one of the many reasons to visit now. Seeing water flow freely in channels in front of all the houses brings a cool idea to the usually hot Karoo. 21 May 2013 07:14

Adrift in a nameless river in Madagascar
[Brian Berkman] It probably won't be pristine for very much longer as Rio Tinto, the mining company that is extracting ilmenite and zircon from Fort Dauphin on Madagascar's most South Easterly coast, exploit the earth and pave the roads in return. 15 May 2013 12:28

Travelling to malaria-risk areas
[Brian Berkman] Don't fool yourself into thinking you can avoid being bitten by mosquitoes in Madagascar. Even though I took all the possible precautions - long-sleeved shirts that button to the collar, slathered anti-moz cream, sprays from head to toe and slept under nets - I still got zapped. 2 May 2013 11:30
Hiking, kayaking...anything... Kit yourself out properly
[Brian Berkman] Having the right gear when you travel is about as essential as having a valid passport. I always seem to schlep more with me on a trip than I need and on our recent trip to Madagascar with Jenman Safaris we were asked to limit check-in luggage to one soft bag weighing less than 20kg. 24 Apr 2013 13:30

The Cape Town Diamond Museum at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town offers many more interesting facts about one of our most precious stones. 17 Apr 2013 09:57
Berkman finds a Pearl
[Brian Berkman] I couldn't have been more wrong about Pearl Valley. I had dismissed an earlier invitation out of hand when I was still too fat and unfit to walk around a golf estate and the thought of visiting one held no appeal whatsoever. 12 Apr 2013 08:35
