Tshatshingo Potholes

Tshatshingo potholes are in Northern South Africa. The water comes in from the Tshi rocks River. Possibly the scariest natural water feature I have encountered.
This giant hole has no trace of life in it. Nobody knows were the water goes when it falls into the giant pot.

The are a few rock pools before the giant pothole. The water is very clear when it is not rainy season. And you also have the opportunity to cliff jump if you are brave enough.
People have accidentally fell in and unfortunately bodies are never retrieved. Even divers don't like this place.

Travel to Makwarani village soon in Vhembe and visit the Tshatshingo potholes. Make sure to bring your swimming gear and a picnic basket.

The weekends are when the places comes to live as music revelers come out to picnic in the shades and have a pool in the rock pools. During the week you will find local villagers doing their laundry in the river.

Charlotte the friendly ghost in the Midlands Meander

The thing about having family in KZN is, often when one travels to visit family you never really stop and explore the small towns that one drives past. To this day I still struggle to visit Durban and not feel guilty about being so close to family and actually not getting time to see them. I mean, one can only imagine how busy a travel bloggers life can be when there's lots of boys to drool over and plenty beer to sample... Never mind the delicious Indian cuisine found in the city. The views are breathtaking everywhere I am currently on a road trip with some of South Africas top travel bloggers, travel writers, photographers and videographers and this time we stopped in Nottingham Road. No it's not a one road sleepy little village in the breathtaking Midlands meander. Nottingham road is actually a small town. With breathtaking views everywhere you turn. With only about 2500 residents which is quite impressive in terms of growth compared to only having had 200 re...

The Blue Pearl of Morocco - Chefchaouen

Grande Cascades of the Rif Mountains. All I know is I know this place from other bloggers who have been to Morocco. This part of Morocco was not even part of my plans but it fell into place so perfectly and I believe it was meant to be. I took a bus from Rabat the capital of Morocco to Chaouen as the locals call it. The bus ride is just over 4 hours and of course, it was not on time. I used the CTM bus services and the ticket from Rabat to Chaouen was 100 Moroccan Dirham and 5MD to pay for your luggage. Although the bus has the reputation of being the best and most comfortable in Morocco, their travel times are inconvenient but at least you will have air-con unlike with other buses. The alleyways of the Chaouen Medina. As the bus started winding down the mountain roads, from a distance I could see the city, and then only did it kick in, I was in Chaouen, a city I have only known in blog posts. I got so excited, I am rather familiar with this feeli...
