South Africa’s number one travel and outdoor lifestyle magazine. We pay our own way and tell it like it is.

Each issue is crammed with excellent photography, honest gear reviews and delicious recipes to make at home or in the bundu. Whether you’re looking to escape for a weekend or a month, your journey starts here.

When life gives you thorns • Getting lost on a tough hike is sometimes the best way to find direction, writes Milton Schorr.

Best coast An ode to our favourite seaside towns • We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: South Africa has one of the most spectacular coastlines in the world. And all along our 2 800 km perimeter, you’ll find little and not-so-little towns just waiting to be explored. Nine readers tell us about their favourites, from KZN to the West Coast.

Kloof to cliff! • It’s easy to forget that the Drakensberg isn’t just a KZN thing. Hike up high and down low on the High Five Trail in Mpumalanga.

NUM-NUM OR HIGH FIVE?

Gifts for Africa • Even though our editorial team didn’t cross many borders this year, we still managed to get outside, explore, and have some fun. Here’s our wish list for Christmas – mostly local products perfect for having a good time inside and outside in 2021!
