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

Travelling to malaria-risk areas
[Brian Berkman] Don't fool yourself into thinking you can avoid being bitten by mosquitoes in Madagascar.
