Debbie is an asset to this lovely restaurant and bar, I had the prawns and my wife had the steak kidney Pie, absolutely delicious. Debbie kept us laughing all night and we had a great time.

Just a quick comment on the water. It is perfect as drinking water, the Kwandu water is pristine and better than anything you will find in a first world nation. Also watch Bum Hill for some exciting new developments for campers and travellers alike.

We would like to open an Avis account for renting vehicles from different airports in South Africa as we have salesmen flying regularly Please contact me Tel 044-8730777

The meat at Maphindis is very delicious especially the sauce that they are using

I live with 3 cats and for my b-day my mother is paying for my Lion of Judah tattoo. I have alopecia, witch means I can’t grow hair. I think it’s funny, a Rasta that can’t grow hair, HA! Lol. So yeah I ware wigs, thare fun. I use to know a family of Rasta but they moved and then they fell victim to a drive by in Kingston, my they have better next lives or may they rest in peace whichever they prefer. So how was your day? Mine was felled with the arts, dancing, plays, panting that sort of thing.

Thank you for your explanation it takes a lot to go through these processes I admire you!

i jst want to thank mr Madzivhandila he is my insparation his work its a blessing to my soul

some years ago I bought a Zulu rug from your centre and I would like to buy another one. Can I view them online? If not would you be interested in a web site where users could buy your crafts online? I happen to be a web developer and could put a very good shopping site together for you. There would be no charge for this web site and I would only charge a very small commission on every sale. You would be able to sell your crafts world wide. All you would need is a digital camera and an internet connection. If you are interested let me know. In the mean time how can I buy another carpet and how much are they these days. Humba Gashli William

I have seen 3 copies of Duggan-Cronin's collection of plates. In particular the one on the tribes of the Transkei and Ciskei, The Tswana and the Swazi. Excelent pieces of work. I am a student @ Alice, Fort Hare. Its unbelievable that this institution does not have these historical artifacts in their archives. How would one get ahold of the plates if they are out of Kimberley.

I am happy to have met you at the Zambia intern. Travel Show and I will do anything within my means to make Siavonga/Lake kariba one of your tours You're doing a great job

Sharon’s comment posted 28th April referring to Durnfords Lodge is far from the truth. We have stayed at Durnfords Lodge on numerous occasions, and find the accommodation, facilities and the hosts to be exceptionally warm and accommodating. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Durnfords Lodge to anyone.

I recommend Durnford's. It has everything you need for a pleasant stay. My two young sons never want to leave. Paddy-Ann makes them feel so special. We have never experienced what Sharon has said. I can not believe Sharon could say such things. Ronell

When I was told to read comments made by Sharon about Durnford's Lodge on your website my first thought was POOR SHARON. People who are not used to finer things in life react as she has. I have only experienced the best at Durnford's. I will returned everytime I am in Ladysmith. Liza

I can not believe what I have read about what Sharon wrote about her stay at Durnford's Lodge.I am sure that she is not referring to the Durnford's Lodge that I know. I have been using the facilities at Durnford's Lodge for the last five years for all our meetings and functions, that's at least 8 times a year. All our speakers sleep over at the Lodge. Charles and Paddy-Ann are perfect hosts and they are always go out of their way to cater for all our different race groups and religions.The lodge, gardens and conference centre are the best I have used in a long time. Congratulations Durnford. Margaret

I refer to the comment posted on the 28th April by Sharon refering to Durnfords Lodge. I find this comment to be extremely unfair as we have stayed at this Lodge on numerous occassions and will testify to the rooms being very clean and well decorated, with Charles and Paddy Ann generous and accomodating hosts who go out of their way to make your stay pleasant and enjoyable. I highly recommend Durnfords Lodge and would encourage Open Africa to first investigate these sort of posts before allowing them to be read on their website as this is a post is a blatant lie.

I refer to the comment made by Sharon on the 28th April 2009. This lodge has a 4 star grading, done by AA Tourism, and is graded and checked regularly. We take exception to the attitude taken by Sharon and refrain from entering into any further email battles. We are confident and stand by our grading. Paddy ann

hello, my name is Eliane and i live in belgium i saw Mashamba Potters, the venda pottery, and i have a few questions. is it possible to get in contact with the potters? do they have a website? i'm looking for that colors they use and if the pottery or material is for sale in belgium? hope for a positieve answer and hope to hear from you soon thank you Eliane van Oijen

Good day. i am helping a friend with a school project and she needs to find information on Mr. SJ Khosa. i have searched the internet but do not find anything. I need a brief history on Mr. Khosa. would you be able to help me? thank you.

Big thanks to the Open Africa Team for coming to Mpika, Northern Zambia. Keep up the great works and hope to see you soon. Allan, Zambia

Christine we have to change quiet lot of things specially the lease agreement till 2011 i didnt recall that. i also fill we have lost almost half of our guides so the business must be transfered to lihle and me plus Siya why should we include others on our website

Your work is so inspiring - I teach children about African Art and always include an image of your BMW in my lecture on Ndebele Art. The children relate to the pattern and color and love that it is an art that you paint the walls with. With much respect- Katherine Levin LKau, San Jose California, U.S.A.

Da place feels like heaven, and Khomola is right, there should be a place for beach sand so we can have our own Durban in Limpopo

I Personally thank Mr. PJ Monana for such a post on the web. But I see this only quote back to 2004/5 - Some of us were in this School as far as 1996, my last year. I beleive the principal have moved from the school and we (as the former students of this school, some of them found on the Facebook group "Lepelle High") need to know of the latest updates. I suggest events such be held anually or quarterly to mark or celebrate what it proced in the previous years, like maybe calling upon students and teachers of certain year - like for instance, class of 1995 / 1996. I stronly beleive some of us would like to contribute back to the school that made us. ie, we might have used computers to give, or look at the facilities that the school lack, and take it from there. This was a good initiative to post the school but someone need to follow up on what's said / done from the last post. In Loving Memories of my Secondary School Mr. Phenias L. Kgatle SRC Treassure of 1996.

Its good for the people in venda to have such a wonderful place where they can go and relaxe with their families and friends especially during the holidays.I hope they will build more and more recreational facilities at nandoni dam.

Dr tsiane it is very special that we have someone who can stand his grounds before the beshops and the media and say I am the herbalist. I just saw your debate with the beshops and other big guys. I am very impressed keep it up.is good to have the representative my God make you grow even stronger.

Please forward more detail for booking, prices etc Availability Is the river stocked with trout? Security / Safety

Well Done - You make us prod. I have had dealings with your company.

Thank you for the lovely article/ webpage on the Durban South area after seeing all the negative stuff about Wentworth it's nice to be able to read something like this. My only hope is that more can be done for this area in light of tourism.

Just spent this weekend there. It was very nice! Johan was most kind and helpful! However, I do have to say that this was not the tranquil and peaceful place I envisaged. We were completely surrounded by noisy, smelly 4-wheelers riding through the camp. They were parked everywhere, even had to walk around them to get to the ablutions! I realise that these vehicles are permitted, but could they not park off to one side of the site? and stick to the designated tracks!? Regards, Linda

I went snoek fishing with Nickey this weekend, boy was this the best experience in my life time! I must say I grew-up on the westcoast but never had the opportunity to go yet. Will I go again? Yes, a soon as the finances allow me again.

We went sea kayaking this weekend, and what a great place to do this! The water was table top flat and a clear as glass - fantastic....

Hi daar! Ek't gou (op my ma se versoek) gekyk of tannie 'n website het vir GDE Leather, en wraggies, daar is dit! Sy het onlangs haar leergoedjies uitgekrap en is lus om bietjie aan die werk te spring daarmee. Groete vir die kids! Liefde al die Truters Beaufort-Wes xxx

It arriived a few days later at our final destination, with all contents in tact, money, credit cards, jewelery, binoculars, etc. Gini's honesty and concern saved our vacation. Thanks.

Fantastic atmosphere. Great value for money.

Thank you for your comment on Mozambique Barry. This is a sad truth, not everyone understands the severity of the impact of quad bikes on the ecology. Let us hope control is improved in the near future.

that is a beautiful place to be.

I have been on a farmers wedding in the 60s with the Robinson Family . The name Dedekind sounds familiar

I have been to this place called Pondo People, they are amazing collections and clothing.

We are looking for the adress of the Mashi Craft Market. Could anyone help us find it. Thanks.

I have visited Mozambique many times and not once have Ibeen disapointed inthe placees we have stayed. Most places to the north are accessable with a normal LDV with diff lock. At present other than accommodation being expensive, one can still have a relatively cheap holiday. On negative note, there are some South Africans who are bent on destroying the ecology by totaly ignoring the ban on beach driving. The quads especialy are destroying every that gets in their way. The Mozambique authorities should take severe action against these HOOLIGANS.

i would like my pub called rambling rose in genadendal to be advertise on your web please

This is the second time that I have stayed at Madi a Thava and what a truly wonderful and inspirational experience! Stunning location, divine food, 1st class hospitality and a truly responsible tourism initiative that is having positive & sustainable impact in the surrounding communities.

This is an impressive site!

in 1968 we lived in oxford - we were newly married and had three young zambians living with us in our house - they were the sons of the litunga lewanika and had an older brother in the united states - they must have been about 17 and were crazy about football - they told us all about the flood plain ceremony and many interesting stories - we often talk of them - are they still in zambia?

We are a group of 36 people travelling with 4x4’s and would like to stay over on June 30, 2009. Although we have rooftop tents, we will also be interested in your bungalows and flats if available (2 people in a room). Can you please give me the price per person and also the availability.

On the 18th November 2008, I visited the school in Van Zylsrus to perform my duties as an official of the Northern Cape Education Department. On our way out, we stopped at the hotel to buy some drinks for the long road back to Kuruman. The experience was overwhelming. I promised myself that I will visit the hotel, not as a passer-by, but a guest. The place is "art alive", unique and a tranquill experience. Congratulations of the impeccable work done and the manner in which you integrated the use of art into your hospitality business and also promoting the Kalahari as a tourist destination.

I want to organize wedding venue and how can i make arrangement.

Dear Thobile,an interesting proposal.please contact Mweni Tourism Centre directly for a prompt response. All the best in pursuing your career.

Thank you for your comment Sumbana! Golwe is a beautiful place and we are glad that you like the photos. From the Open Africa Team

Although the Kruger to Canyons area mainly caters for travelers who want to stay in lodges or guesthouses, there are definitely options for camping. All members on this website are listed because they applied. You can try places like Mariepskop View Chalets or alternatively contact the primary contact for the route in order to find out about other options. They will be more than happy to assist.

thank you for uploading the photos of Golwe

Kruger to Canyon. We travel in our mororhome, and find no information on camping in the area. Mainly only lodge accommodation. Do you not cater for campers, caravaners or motorhomers?

please my name is Thobile Ndebele. i have a proposal for the owner of the lodge and want to offer my services,i'm a very good singer.i want to peform my songs afor your tourist,say two time a week.i'm a student at the University of Kwazulu Natal doing my 2nd year,i've learnt a lot and these holidays i need this part time activity.please respond to my request.contact:0766813608.email:207513745@ukzn.ac.za or TPNdebs@ukzn.ac.za

This is so amazing and worthy to watch and see. I m so glad that our tradition and culture has got an impact which could benefit others.

Do not use this tour company at all. it is not safe for any tourists. Junior is a villain and runs his taxi service whilst drunk. his boat trips are expensive and contain nothing. Go to Sailaway.

i'm proud of the guy i loved how you represented us in the country

Thank you for the comment. We would love to add new photos. Let us know if you have taken some.

Great website. Have paddled the Nova Mambone mangroves quite often. Please add www.mozguide.com to your list of useful websites. Thanks Mike Slater

The correct name for "Thaba-ya-Lepokisana" is Sesalo, thus the area around it is called Sesalong. Leipzig Mission is built in the area called Sehlong The true Sehananwa as a language is disappearing, especially the vocabulary. The style of pronounciation is similar to Sengwato (Serowe/Phikwe) with a lot more common "old terminology" with Sebirwa (Bobonong). The elderly people living in Hananwa/mountain (which is very few at this stage) spoke very similar to Bagwaketsi (Kanye), where they tended to use "e" in the place of "a" in the suffix. The current language in the area tends to be closer to the school/written North Sotho as used in the schools.

Hi Milvia, Could you please tell me what your rates are as my husband and I are very possibly going to need accommodation in Howick for a couple of nights in the near future? Thank you.

gostei muito de visitar este site e as informacoes prestadas.No entanto,penso que ha um erro na largura e comprimento da ilha.

Just to let you know that we had the most wonderful experience at your camp at Blouberg. The setting is wonderful and the camp hosts attentive and caring - an excellent destination for anyone interested in birding. I spoke with Joshiah when we arrived at the camp and gave my details. He said he would fax and email me the invoice and receipt. We spent the night of 18 October at Blouberg. Please would you mail us the invoice? Thanks Just a couple of suggestions 1: The signage to camp is poor and the camp difficult to locate. The fact that your community camp shares the same name as the other Blouberg nature reserve in the area adds to the confusion 2. The road to the camp, especially through the village is not good at all - it was just the fact that my husband had been to the camp previously, which made us persevere and make it to the camp. 3. The toilets in the rooms are not fixed properly to the floor and wobble about when you sit on them. This has resulted in the outlet pipe seal to break. When you flush the toilet, water leaks on to the floor which is both unsightly and unhygienic. I would suggest that a plumber be sent to attend this problem as it occurred in more than one of the huts. Thank you for a wonderful stay! Marie Paterson

I would like to apply for the any job as I am an, ambitious young lady who is a hard worker, I’m well spoken and can easily express myself. I work very well with people making it easy for them to work with me. I feel I would be an excellent candidate for any vacancy that will closely match my skills and experience. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Rorisang Grace Khoaeane

Open Africa only develops routes when requested to do so by communities. To date we have not had any requests from communities in Mpumalanga.

Why are there no routes in Mpumalanga?

Correct singular & plural in Bokkoms copy okkoms (also spelt bokkems) Bokkoms are salted, wind-dried fish, usually mullet or horse mackerel. Preparation entails packing layers of gutted fish into a large vat, salting each layer with coarse salt and leaving it to pickle for 24 hours. Thereafter, the fish is hung out to dry on open racks. Traditionally bokkoms was an important component in the diet of Cape farm labourers because it was well preserved and could be transported inland from the coast. kkoms

The site looks good from Stowe in England! Great to hear all the comments.

Wonderful launch. The Estcourt community will definitely be thankful for all your hard work.

I'm proud the part of the Open Africa Movement. To all the staff of Flow - This is a fantastic website.

Thank you very much for taking your time to enlighten people from all walks of life about our country Zambia. This is the time when world need to know more about what is happening on the other side of the victoria falls. i have been involved in taking tourist around Livingstone to these sites and most of them are agreeing that they have been missing the hospitality of Zambians as well as the unspoilt sceneries around the country. Keep it up and i can assure you we will support your iniative.

Lovely, much-needed, user-friendly site with loads of really useful information for travellers...

Thank you for all your hard work! fantastic new website, really exciting! Sending our support from the Getaway show! Hen

I have liked the initiative you have taken to come up with this type tourism approach which opens up to the rural areas. I always had the passion to see such a thing happen one day and seeing what you have introduced, i can only say that i will always give some sort of support in terms of giving ideas on how best your product can be very much appreciated by the world today. We need to educate the up coming generation not to forget the passed for them to survive the future. I am very much happy because you are also focusing on Environmental conservation which is they factor to our survival on earth today. I am a Zambian and i like to hear someone who talks about conservation at a local level. I'm looking forward to seeing this organisation acheive the best results ever produced in tourism.

Congratulations on your launch today!
