Wakacyjny najem w Cape Winelands

** PLEASE REQUEST YOUR PREFERRED DATE IF IT'S NOT AVAILABLE ON MY CALENDAR ** This is an online experience - LIVE (not pre-recorded) - where you will join me from the comfort of your own home or office. We are great for groups, great for teambuilding, and family friendly. We start at the entrance to the 240ha wildlife sanctuary where we will go in search of the variety of South African Wildlife that inhabit the reserve. I will share the history of the farm, teach you about the various types of animals we will encounter and tell you stories about those living in the reserve that I've grown to know. We get close enough to observe free-roaming wildlife in their habitat but we maintain respect for their space at all times and keep a distance they are comfortable with. When we get back to the horse camp, I will introduce you to our 13 gentle horses, a South African breed called a Boerperd, and answer any questions you might still have. Other things to note: This is a virtual experience so you need to join on your computer or phone. I have an optional interactive quiz for teams, for some friendly competition. You'll need a second device. >> I am now hosting this experience using a golf-cart and no longer on horseback. The format & wildlife viewing is unchanged, the only difference is the absence of my horse's curious ears on my screen. You'll still meet him at the end <<

I will take you and your small private group of guests on a horse ride through some of South Africa's most well-known wine estates. Along the way, we will take in spectacular views of Table Mountain and the mountains of Stellenbosch and we'll see many different bird species and possibly, some antelope. For our two-hour ride, we'll start off with a short lesson for novices to ensure everyone is comfortable with their horse and their equipment. When everyone is happy, we'll set off across our nursery farm before we cross to our neighboring wine farm, Joostenberg. Half way through our ride, we will stop for some light refreshments, including a glass of wine or juice and a snack. You'll get to relax in the shade of indigenous trees before mounting our horses again. We'll then head back toward the Pink Geranium Nursery, surrounded by mountains, vineyards, and tranquility. All levels of riders are catered for, so you will get exactly the ride you want, be it a gentle meander through the vineyards or a fast-paced canter down a sandy track. Our horses are very well trained, and very well looked after. We'll never ride the same trail twice, so no one will get bored of the route. Other things to note Please make every effort to arrive on time. If you are running a little late, please contact me so I can try to accommodate you. I will try to delay our departure, but can not guarantee this.

Upon arrival, we will take our clients to the tack room where we will fit a suitable riding hat & fill in all the necessary indemnity forms, with passport Nr. or ID. numbers. The guest can make use of moon bag belts that can take most cellphone sizes should they want to take photos along the way. Any other Valuables such as Car keys etc. can be stored in the tack room while out on the ride. The scenic trail ride admits 1-4 people per ride. The client's skill levels should be some previous riding experience (basic walk, trot, canter), and simply relaxed around horses. We will introduce our language of communication with our horses to the clients & reassure to them, that we will be in full control of the trail ride. We want the experience to remain pleasant, for our horses and the riders. Once we are satisfied that the horses are under the rider's influence we will set off, for a beautiful scenic ride on the farm. These are the basic outlines of each of our packages – each session, however, will be tailored to how the clients & they horse progress during the experience – they are live animals & not machines & they respond differently to every human individual that they meet. Other things to note No children under the age of 6 No guests over the weight limit of 90kg Please use the lavatory before. Sunblock or Hat Refreshments served after.

I'll bring you to the island prison where Mandela and I first got to know each other. I'll give you insight into life at the prison, as well as my experience as a white warder under apartheid. And I'll take you to Mandela’s cell, the lime quarry where I used to drive prisoners, and where I used to stay on the island. Other things to note Bring sunscreen and something warm for the ferry.
