Spaced-Out

As the flight from Charles de Gaulle to OR Tambo descended low over the suburbs, the French gentleman nearest the window asked us, what are all the blue spots below? Blue spots? Ahh, those are swimming pools! He was intrigued as we explained it to him.

Zanel & Shirli for Afrisafari
South Africa has space, but more than the suburbs, the country areas are vast and laced with little towns, if you can call some of them that—sneeze and you might miss it and be on your way to the next. Hidden are country places, and their country cooks, charming and quaint with repurposed treasures.

Here you find bottled homemade jam and pickles, homemade loaves of bread and South African rusks. What are their stories or histories through the generations? These are the places we want to showcase and add to our Afrisafari Collection, road trips stitched from one to another that are affordable and need visitors to experience their brand of hospitality and South Africa’s generosity of spirit.

And, if you ever find yourself in the rural town of Tweebuffelsmeteenskootmorsdoodgeskietfontein, yes, it exists near Putfontein in the North West province.
