Action! Camera!

[Brian Berkman] Not often a product comes along that does everything you want it to and then a whole lot more you did not know you wanted.

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.

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, exploits the earth and paves the roads in return.

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.

Cast your Ey over this...

[Brian Berkman] Be it the fault of the song One Night in Bangkok or Patpong Road in the big city, talk Thai massage and most people start to snigger into their sleeves making jokes about happy endings.

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.

Packed to go

[Brian Berkman] Having the right travel gear can make or break a trip. I'm luggage obsessed and have destination-specific baggage that, as someone that travels as much as I do, means wardrobes jammed with cases for every occasion.

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.

Down by the Riverside

[Brian Berkman] It was only after hearing the owls at night and the chattering monkeys the next day that we realised we were not hearing rural Hout Bay but The World of Birds, the neighbouring property to the five-acre set up that is Riverside Estates.

Here's something to meditate on... Mauritius' Shanti Maurice resort

[Brian Berkman] Although the Shanti Maurice resort on the east cost of Mauritius has always had holistic health at its epicentre, they continue to be en trend with their announcement of a Health & Fitness Week in June this year.
