We welcome the month of May with a warm feeling in our hearts. Why? It is Mother’s Day! We can also see winter winking at us. We know that parents are very special in our lives and every day we should honour them but, we are fortunate enough to have one special day to spoil our moms or our loved ones who have nurtured us every day of our lives. Our writers gave us some lovely tips on how to spoil that very special lady.

Winter is such a marvellous time to visit the Karoo, although cold, it is an experience not to be missed. If you are feeling drained from the hustle and bustle of daily life, step out and take a trip to revitalise your soul. A day in the Karoo is definitely what you need to recharge those batteries.

Who doesn’t like food and trying out new experiences? Why not take a culinary adventure and visit the Bo-Kaap. Food with rich aromas will welcome you and the colourful surrounds will do you good.

I would like to finish my letter with a quote from Matt Czuchry - “Carpe Diem is a phrase that I try to embrace. It means seize the day, to make the most of the present and to give little thought to the past or future. In the time that I have here, I want to love and live life to the fullest while being a positive influence on others. And I want a full life for everyone.”

Our writer looked at the best spots to go a bit off the grid. Sometimes you really just need to go away from all the hustle and bustle, especially here towards the end of the busy year.

We are officially in Spring, although the weather still seems to be in the chapter of winter! Not that we are complaining, the rain is very welcome, and I think we are just all very excited for the warmer months to come.

With that in mind our writer looked at where you can braai along the coast of South Africa. Who doesn’t like to braai with the waves crashing in the distance, sounds like a day well spent in Sunny South Africa.

When I think of spring and summer I can’t help but thinking of ice-cream. I will brave the winter chills and still have an ice-cream delight but let’s be honest nothing beats a warm day with a nice creamy ice-cream. Our writer went on the search for the best ice-cream parlours to get your ice-cold treat.

This year has flown by and it is almost time for the beautiful season of Spring, it brings the promise of sunshine, the smell of fresh flowers and the delightful crisp and fresh mornings.  It also brings the sense of hope, a new beginning and a sense of celebratory as the end of the year and much deserves holidays are in sight.

Since the weather is changing we decided to investigate glamping! Camping might still be a bit adventurous for the last bit of winter but camping in style aka glamping is a more comfortable alternative for those who doesn’t want to be cooped up indoors.

Wine and chocolate, two delightful experiences brought together to help chase that last bit of winter chills away. Our writer had a look at a few wine and chocolate tasting options.

Winter is at its peak, and with the much-needed rain, it brings the cold. To keep you warm why not do something adrenaline pumping? Our writer looked at any adventurer’s bucket list. If you see yourself as a very adventurous person then you might have to see what you still need to check off.

I know that not all of us are adrenaline junkies and prefer to eat and drink to stay warm during the coldest winter months. Who doesn’t love cheese? We narrowed down a few places to fill up on cheesy delights. 

The Spice Route is a must visit during winter and for that matter anytime of the year. With interesting tastings and products available this will make for a day well spent.

The 41 on Camps Bay is offering Jazz on the Bay. This is an event to write down in your diary. You can read more in the article.

We also showcase some of South Africans finest accommodation establishments. With that said remember you can still vote for your favourite Top Destination at www.discounttraveler.co.za.

The Sanlam Top Destination Awards will be held in September to honour this wonderful industry.

Time has flown by and we are in the 6th month of the year. As we reach the halfway mark of the year the chilly weather is kicking in. We know that as South Africans we love sunny South Africa but the winter brings its own charm and hopefully some much-needed rain.

With this in mind, our writers took a look at a few awesome Winter Getaway options. Get ready to pack your bags and have some winter fun. We also would like to honour the man in your life, Dad, by giving you a few ideas to spoil him for Father’s Day.

Food also helps to keep the winter chills at bay but this month we decided on something a bit different. I know most South Africans are meat lovers but something leafy and green can be just as tasty, therefore we explored a few of the best Vegan Restaurants in SA.

There is a magic word especially on a cold winter morning and you might have guessed it. Coffee! We are keeping it local this month and looked at a few Coffee spots in our area.

Remember that you can still vote for your favourite establishment to win the title of Top Destination.

Have a wonderful June!

The seasons are changing as we enter the 4th month of the year. Autumn has graced us with its presence and soon we will see the leaves change colour, decorate the ground with their warm colours and feel a new crispness in the air. 

We all know that with the change of seasons and colder weather approaching us it is inevitable to start finding ways to keep warm and cosy. For some of us it might be a glass of wine or cherry, and for others it may be some tasty treats. With that in mind we looked at some hotspots where you can have your cake and eat it! Who doesn’t like to indulge a little bit? For the wine lovers out there, our writer investigated the top ten red wines. Nothing beats a nice glass of red wine to mellow you out and warm you up. 

Being a traveller, you get to see and experience the wonderful nature we have been gifted with. We need to be responsible travellers and conserve and protect nature as much as possible. We have an awesome article on how to be an environmentally friendly traveller.

If you are planning your next trip have a look at the Bookings Unlimited section with a variety of wonderful accommodation options. 

It is that time of the year - the voting for the Top Destination Awards have opened. Remember to start voting for your Top Destination establishments. 

My hope is that will have a blessed April and that you have safe travels!


I recently concluded that we need to live more.  So often we are alive, but you neglect the “living” part.  We are so used to the same routine and lifestyle, our comfort zone.

One day you will realise that there were so many things you wanted to do but never did. So with this in mind, I decided to embark on #operationlivealittle. 

If you are already on the adventurous side, this is also for you because there is no such thing as enough adventure!

The team at the Traveler Mag compiled a list of hidden Nature Reserves and there are a few that I, myself would love to visit. Have a look at the explore section and discover hidden nature.

What is more adventurous than a road trip? The writers gave some amazing tips on how to road trip on a budget. While you are busy planning your getaway, you might find our camp away article useful.

It is the second month of 2018, and we are celebrating the month of love. We know it is hard being back at work and school after a wonderful break, but there is still a lot to look forward to in the New Year.

The team at the Traveler Mag went out and did the research for you on where to take your loved one this Valentine’s Day. Taking that special person on a weekend away is always a wonderful treat, but what about a romantic getaway to one of those hidden gems you rarely hear about? Our writers went and made a list of some of the must-visit hidden gems!

If you can’t break away, a romantic dinner is always a treat! We took a look at some of the best dining spots to enjoy a lovely dinner with your loved ones.

My wish is that you will have a blessed February, and remember spread the love.

November is here, the second last month of the year. The big one for most, the December Holidays, is winking at us and with it the endless possibilities of fun under the sun. I think I speak for most when I say it was a busy year with lots of happenings. My advice to you is to enjoy, explore and relax as much as possible.

In this edition, we took a look at what to do in Cape Town at night and might I add there are lots of fun activities to enjoy.

In this edition, we take a look at 4x4 trails that you can enjoy with your family and friends. If you prefer something a bit toned down, then the insight to champagne and where to get the best of the best is a must read.

I hope you have a wonderful month and that you enjoy the first moments of spring and cherish every travelling opportunity that it brings.


I find it hard to believe that it is August already, we are more than halfway through 2017. This is also the last month of the winter then we can look forward to spring and summer.

In honour of the last winter month we decided to go big or go home! We had a look at a few Italian hotspots. Nothing beats a good hot meal especially if it is wonderfully made. I can’t imagine life without pasta and pizza.

Another favourite is coffee. That one friend who helps you get up in the mornings and get a grip on the day. You might feel that you still need a grip on the year since it is going by so quickly, I know I do. We took a look at some of Cape Town’s best caffeine spots.

We all love our wonderful country full of culture and heritage. Who else can say they have 11 official languages? To honour our amazingly diverse country we bring you must visit culture spots.

Don’t forget to have a look at our Bookings Unlimited section to get ideas for your next trip with one of our fine hospitality establishments.

For those who rather prefer wine, we have given you the best of both - chocolate and wine pairing! Who can say no to that?

If you are still not convinced to pop outside this winter, then perhaps our inside look at luxury hotels might interest you. Why not spoil yourself to a weekend away in a luxury hotel. A winter warmer at best, South Africa’s warm hospitality!

This month we give thanks to our wonderful mothers. I recently had the privilege of becoming a mother myself and WOW, what a blessing it is indeed!  

A mother’s journey is REAL, and it relates so well with our respective travels in life, whether it be good or bad experiences or challenges, we all have that special lady to turn to when the going gets tough, or even just for a good laugh or two! Life in itself, makes me appreciate my own mother so much more. So many times, our mothers go out of their way to always do what is best for their children, and in the process, she puts herself last in the line.

That is why, in this fabulous May 2017 issue of The Traveler Mag, we dedicate to giving back to the mothers of this world and show them some sincere gratitude, via a little TLC! 

So, be sure to enter your mom to WIN a fabulous spa treatment at The Spa @ Spier, during which she can relax and unwind a bit. For those who prefer something more dainty and stylish, a fabulous high tea would do the trick, or enter her to WIN a delicious lunch or dinner, with compliments of the stunning Mont Marie Restaurant in Stellenbosch, off course topped with some fabulous Méthode Cap Classique to be won, from the beautiful Le Lude Franschhoek Wine Estate. A market day is also a great idea to spoil mom, so sweep her off her feet, away from her everyday chorus, and enjoy some delectable tasting in food & wine out in the country, with her loved ones! 

The team at the Traveler Mag hope you get to spend a fun-filled day with that special lady in your life, and enjoy REAL family time, while exploring what beautiful South Africa has to offer.

The month of love has arrived, travellers; and we’ve endeavoured to help you find some of the best spots across our beautiful nation to seek out a romantic getaway. Take your special someone on a stroll through the enchanting small-town wonder of Simon’s Town, Paternoster, or Prince Albert; or treat them to a romantic dinner down at Rueben’s at Abalone House, or to sample some distinctly Karoo-flavoured delicacies up in the quiet, dusty little Northern Cape town of Victoria West, where the Ka’roux restaurant, headed by local culinary celebrity Leroux Van Vuuren, has just opened its doors.

And of course, if you’re looking to treat them to something truly special and singular, we’ve also made sure to gather info on some of the fabulous festivals coming up this February. This is the only time of year you can check them out, travellers; why not make sure it’s with that significant someone?

A month of love and discovery to you, travellers.


It’s just flown right by, hasn’t it? A long and tumultuous year has wrapped up, and the first month of 2017 is upon us. We do hope, travellers, that you got the chance at R&R that you thoroughly earned this holiday, and that you’re ready to navigate the ups and downs and twists and turns of the coming year – and, of course, that you’ll find the time to explore the wonders of this beautiful nation with us.

But right now, for most of us, it’s back to – ugh – work. It’s difficult to get going, we know – very, very difficult. Why not escape for just a few minutes more? Join us as we take another trek across South Africa, marvelling at such wonders as the seaside spectacle of Coffee Bay, the rooibos-rich beauty of Clanwilliam, and cross over the border to check out the wild wonder of Uganda’s gorilla trips.

And of course, as usual, we’ll be showcasing just a few of the renowned accommodation establishments that have made this country so beloved among travellers, demonstrating why the winners of 2016’s Sanlam Top Destination Awards are where you should be laying your head on your next trip. We’ll also notify you of everything from the big events kicking off the year, where you might lose yourself in amidst the hustle and bustle, and the quiet spots most ideal for enjoying a peaceful picnic.

Come along with us, travellers, and let us help you plot out your next trek. Here’s hoping 2017 will shower us all with opportunities to explore.

Unbelievable, isn’t it? 2016 is almost over, and after a long year of waiting, the holiday’s finally more than a yearned-for fantasy! The festive buzz is thick in the air, and everyone’s dashing to get their last few affairs sorted before they can kick back for the year.

And, honestly, what better place to spend the holiday than South Africa? From our glitzy city centres, our sunny shorelines, to our sprawling expanses of natural beauty, there’s just so much to choose from when it comes to your next holiday spot! Of course, being high summer, many people will be spending this particular holiday down by the seaside.

In that spirit, we’ve taken a look at some of the South African shore’s lighthouses. We’ve also made a stopover in the internationally renowned surf spot, Jeffrey’s Bay. Those of you who’d prefer to stay dry this holiday, can join us on our trip further inland, down to the gorgeous historical town of Tulbagh. The nature lovers can come with us to soak up the nation’s natural splendour down at Seweweekspoort Pass.

If you’d like to venture beyond the borders of our diverse nation, we’ve also explored Tanzania, and sampled life on board one of Opulent Living Cruise’s ships.

And if you still aren’t quite decided just what you’d prefer to do with this coming holiday, we’ve also whipped up a few general travelling tips to help you pin your next holiday spot down.

Here’s to an amazing holiday for all of you travellers out there! And if, for any reason, you aren’t taking your holiday just yet…well, it’s never too early to start planning! We can’t wait to help you plot out your 2017 holiday schedule!

November’s here, and how the year’s just sped by! We’re two months away from kicking off 2017; and we’re all about helping you make sure that you don’t waste a moment of these last two months!

We’re always on about new years’ resolutions; but what about end of year resolutions? Think up a few now – what are some things you really want to see yourself getting done by the time this year is out?

This month, we’ve taken a trip down to the shining shorelines of South Africa, and investigated some of its world-famous Blue Flag beaches, as well as the enchanting village of Chintsa on the Eastern Cape coast. We’re all looking forward to some sun-soaked fun this month; but please remember to be environmentally responsible this holiday, and clean after yourself. We all want to come back to a beach that’s as beautiful as we left it next year.

Of course, if the shoreline isn’t your scene, we’ve also popped over to the gorgeous Western Cape town of Greyton – “Little England”, as it’s sometimes known – and the gorgeous expanse of natural wonder that is the Bavianskloof.

And of course, as usual, we’ve also paid a visit to a few of the many fine accommodation instructions found across the country, and picked out a variety of ways in which you – and the family – might entertain yourselves this month.

Travelers, we’re all hoping that the November issue of The Traveler Mag helps you swing into the holiday mood. And never forget: there’s no better time to do it – whatever “it” may be – than the present.

Your time is now. Enjoy!

This time of the year most people can’t wait for the December Holiday. The body and mind gets tired and we just can’t wait to revitalize ourselves. We at the Traveler Mag want to know why wait until the holiday to revive your mind and soul a bit. 

Get in the car on a weekend and explore South Africa close to your home. Discover your hometown or the neighbouring towns. Get your mind of work and feel the holiday, taste it, drink it in and just relax!

In this month’s edition we are giving you the opportunity to take October and make in a December Holiday. We are exploring the Augrabies Falls - the place of great noise, perfect to drown out your everyday noise! Then we are having a look at the elegant Elgin Valley - the valley of plenty! Last but not the least we are passing through Magnificent Matjiesfontein.

If you are looking for something a bit more exotic, then the Aliwal Shoal Diving article is a definite read. Adventure await behind the valley 1000 hills, natural beauty and breath taking views makes it the perfect destination to get yourself feeling revitalized!

Have a look at our Kasteelkop Competition and be sure to enter! 

It is my hope that you enjoy the last few months of 2016 as time flies by so quickly. Make the best of it and create those memories for years to come.
