- Rooibos
The rooibos plant (Aspalathus linearis) is a herbal treasure that grows exclusively in the Cederberg region in the north Western Cape. Pronounced 'roy-boss', which means 'red bush' in Afrikaans, rooibos is a legume. It is part of the fynbos family, a unique set of plants within the Cape Floral Kingdom.
- 44 Stanley
You’d expect to find a classy shopping centre such as 44 Stanley in an upmarket area of San Francisco, Madrid or Rio – certainly not in a former industrial area of Johannesburg where chop shops and garages once ruled. Today the area has been transformed into a wonderful retail space.
- Vusalela Day Spa
Set in tranquil surroundings alongside the Hennop's River, a trip to the Vusalela Day Spa provides the perfect escape from a busy life. The spa uses local products and practises local healing techniques, as well as international therapies, to leave its guests feeling relaxed and revived.
- Honey mead
If honey mead makes you think of tipsy monks or Medieval knights playing drinking games, think again. From the Tej honey wines of Ethiopia to the iQhilika of the Eastern Cape, mead is an all-African elixir, perhaps made first by the Khoisan of southern Africa, thousands of years ago.
- Meropa Casino & Entertainment World
Set on the outskirts of Limpopo's capital Polokwane, the Meropa Casino & Entertainment World is the city's hedonistic pleasure dome. Have a flutter in the casino, enjoy a leisurely meal or cup of java, take the kids to the animal park, or dance the night away to live music.
