Zebra Crossing Lodge

Clean, quiet and friendly, Zebra Crossing is situated at the foot of Table Mountain.

dorm from 5.81EUR
private from 5.81EUR

Close to cafes, cinemas, supermarkets and museums. Centrally located just up from trendy Kloof Street, 5 minutes walk from vibrant Long Street, 5 minutes by taxi from the Waterfront and Table Mountain Cableway and within easy reach of Cape Towns famous beaches.

Family friendly, we are generally considered to be one of the quieter hostels in Cape Town. Facilities include leafy garden and courtyards with barbeque, fully equipped kitchen, cafe with internet access and the Blue Skies Travel Centre for all travel arrangements. Some of the rooms have good views of Table Mountain. We also provide comprehensive information; arrange airport shuttle, inexpensive car hire and tours.

We recycle garbage (with your help), use solar water heating (backed up electrically) and can arrange much needed tree planting in local townships should you wish to purchase carbon offsets.

Established in 1993 Zebra Crossing is featured in various travel guides including Rough Guide and South African Handbook. Footprints South Africa list us in their top ten and Lets Go Recommends.
Lonely Planet (2000 edition) say: "A good piano and a good atmosphere. Its one of our favorites".

Public transport is not very good in Cape Town. The best way from the airport is with a shuttle bus either booked on arrival at the airport or preferably booked in advance. The company we use is reliable and reasonable(R140 for one pax, R170 for 2 etc.) Zebra Crossing is approximately 20-30 minutes drive from the airport. A metered taxi from the airport costs around R200 as do most shuttles.

The train and bus station are situated adjacent one another in the city and again the only public transport is mini-bus taxis. Although they are cheap, they are not necessarily safe for someone who has just arrived and is carrying luggage so we recommend a metered taxi (obtainable at the bus and train station) which will cost around R35 and take around 5 minutes. A cheaper alternative is called a Rikki which is an open taxi and drops and collects others on the way and will cost around R15 per person. They now operate 7 days a week till late. Depending on how busy they are, they may take a long time to arrive. We suggest potential guests contact us for directions.

By car, coming in on the N1 and N2, past the harbour to the traffic lights (says right to the Waterfront). Don?t turn right but continue straight up Buitengracht Street through 6 sets of traffic lights after which the road dips to the left and becomes New Church Street. We are 50 metres along on the right, no. 82. Look for the zebra stripes on the wall and park next door.

dorm from 7.36EUR
private from 13.56EUR

33 South Boutique Backpackers was developed especially for those individuals who have a taste for a real adventure but are not willing to give up their piping hot showers and fresh percale linen.

Because Cape Town is such a great place, we decided to develop a Boutique Backpackers Lodge that is really special. Boutique? Boutique for us is everything stylish, unique and luxurious ? and all this you?ll find in the homely atmosphere at 33 South Boutique Backpackers.

Resting under Table Mountain?s watch, 33 South is nestled in the legendary OBZ, the funky and vibey neighbourhood with some of Cape Town?s most adored live band venues, comedy clubs, restaurants, pubs and bars. Since we dedicated our name (33 South) to the geographic location of Cape Town (33 South, 18 East), it?s fitting that each of our rooms is themed after a different culturally rich ?Capetonian? neighbourhood. So, you don?t have to travel far to experience the magic of our city!

Whether you choose to spend the night in an extra-sized bed in District 6, the colourful Bo-kaap, Khayalitsha Shack chic or the cool and breezy Kalk bay room (amongst others) Cindy, Kim and the rest of the friendly staff will make sure you feel at home in this spacious Victorian house.

At the reception you?ll not only find a selection of tours, activities and great music, but also insider-info on the best restaurants, surf spots, music festivals and loads of ?off-the-beaten-track? adventures.

Comfort, safety and security are top priority. To ensure this, each guest has their very own large locking cupboard with digital code safe, extra-sized bed with the softest fresh linen and the night-watchman Elvis will keep you safe and entertained.

From Cape Town International Airport: Take the N2 highway direction Cape Town city centre. Take the Liesbeck Parkway off-ramp, after approximately 9 km, turn right under the bridge at the traffic lights. At the following set of traffic lights, turn left into Station Rd, over the bridge.

Hoedspruit BackpackHers

Hoedspruit BackpackHers^? in conjunction with Campfire Safaris Private Game Reserve is a totally unique project with opportunities and features that differ greatly from most of the volunteer work experience projects, tourist destinations and internship venues, you'll find in South Africa.

dorm from 7.75EUR
private from 9.30EUR

Hoedspruit BackpackHers^? is situated in the Lowveld of the Limpopo Province of South Africa in the tourist town, Hoedspruit, 430km. north east of Pretoria. This little town is well known as the gateway to the Kruger National Park, a DON'T MISS IN SOUTHERN AFRICA!!

The backpackers are part of a greater project which gives the tourist/student the opportunity to live for a reduced price but still have the opportunity to take part in the daily activities on Campfire Safaris. OR if you are only travelling through Hoedspruit we will provide you with a home away from home for a minimal fee!!

A bit about Campfire Safaris wild life conservation project:
We are part of the Balule Private Nature Reserve (65000 hectares) which is adjacent to the world renowned Kruger National Park.

With no substantial fences between us and Kruger National Park, no internal fences within our reserve and no animals in camps and cages (captivity), we offer our guests an unmatched stay in an open ecological system called the Greater Kruger Park - over 2 million hectares.

Here the indigenous Flora enjoys maximum protection and our wild animals migrate freely between Campfire Safaris Private Game Reserve and Kruger National Park. This is not a man created Big 5 area. It is the largest of the few areas in South Africa that is still wilderness, as it was from the day of creation.

Our Reserve is a natural Big 5 (Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo, Lion, Leopard) reserve adjacent to Kruger National Park and therefore we have most of the herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, reptiles, snakes, primates, smaller cats, eagles, vultures, birds, insects and their relatives that you find in Kruger National Park, roaming freely on our Reserve. During the walks and drives we offer, you'll almost always see animals.

Campfire Safaris Private Game Reserve is situated in the Lowveld of the Limpopo Province of South Africa near the tourist town, Hoedspruit, 430km. north east of Pretoria.

Introduction to Backpackers in Johannesburg

Backpacking in Johannesburg, to do or not to do. That is the question that all the people ask when they come to Johannesburg.There is mayor concerns over safety and security and in general. Johannesburg has a very bad reputation worldwide, that could be true in certain places in Johannesburg, but then again Johannesburg is big, it has an estimated population of 3225812 people in 2001 (as per wipekedia) now that is excluding all the immigrants from Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique etc. So you have Backpackers scattered all over Johannesburg, some is in the city center, some is in Kempton park, Edenvale, Boksburg and Benoni. The most of the Johannesburg backpackers is situated in suburbs of Johannesburg around Johannesburg. So is it safe? Well that depends on what you do and more on where you do it. If you go to Hilbrow in the night with a camera swung around your neck, and a wallet full of money, that would definitely not be safe. But if you go for example to Eastrand mall in the day you will be perfectly fine, providing that you don?t do uneducated things. Johannesburg and backpacking in Johannesburg is like any other city in the world when it comes to backpacking, if you go with a trustworthy company to the city center you will be fine, if you take a local taxi or minibus to the city center, well then you take your chances. In short all the suburbs around the city center is fine, its like any other upcoming world city, but you have to keep in mind on where you are going and especially who you are going with. I have been backpacking in Southern Africa now for the last 12 years, I grew up in Benoni and we are living a normal life. There is a high security factor in all of South Africa, dogs, electric fences and security companies but at the end of the day you must also use your common sense. There is a lot to do for backpackers in Johannesburg, but you can't compare it with Cape Town. There will be a breakdown of activities of what to do in Johannesburg and this blog about backpacking in Johannesburg will be updated frequently.

Nelspruit

Jane Goodall Institute Chimpanzee Eden

The Umholti Lodge offers a 5 star accommodation located in the heart of the Lowveld close to the Kruger National Park. The Lodge has a Chimpanzee Sanctuary run by the Jane Goodall Institute, Bar & Restaurant, Nature & Adventure activities and Cultural and game viewing.

dorm from
private from 58.11EUR

Welcome to the Umholti Lodge!

The lodge offers 5 star accommodation. Each of our exclusively decorated 13 en-suite rooms have been individually designed to reflect its own African heritage, with first world comforts. Comfortable double rooms and spacious twin rooms, under one thatched roof creating cool, elegant comfort in colonial style. The unique African ambience is reflected throughout the lodge. Buffet breakfast and candlelit dinners are served in the restaurant or on the deck overlooking the reserve.

The Chimpanzee Haven:
The Chimpanzee (Pan Troglodytes) is the closest relative to humans. In recent years the ?bush-meat? trade has grown exponentially as the great wild forests of Africa have become more accessible to humans, largely due to logging which is destroying primate habitats by opening large sections of forest with dirt roads. It is estimated that Chimpanzees will be extinct within their natural habitats in as little time as 10 years. Therefore the Jane Goodall Institute is committed to conserving the primates and has created multiple sanctuaries in Africa.

The goal of the Haven is to rescue some of the Chimpanzees that have survived the hunting ordeal but are still misplaced through the lucrative illegal pet trade to zoos, circus performers and medical research facilities. Besides being provided with a home to live out their lives they are also provided with the necessary attention to recover from the trauma that they have experienced

Restaurant, bar Café Shop and the ?Plato? Deck:
The Executive Chef and the attentive personal service caters for the discerning Patron either with four course ala carte menus, or with ?Never ending? selections of traditional and international Buffet Menus. An exclusive selection of fine Tea and coffees, with home made cakes and pastries, can be experienced on ?The Plato Deck?. Positioned above the Haven forest, it provides a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountain ranges and Chimpanzee enclosures. This offers a once in a life time experience for individual travellers to enjoy the perfect African sunset or sunrise.

Northern Drakensberg

Amphitheatre Backpackers Lodge

Amphitheatre Tugela, highest waterfall in Africa, Lesotho tours, rock climbing, horse riding, thatched lodge, delicious food, funky bar.

dorm from 4.80EUR
private from 8.29EUR

Our hostel takes its name from a section of the Northern Drakensberg that is shaped like a natural amphitheatre. It is here that the famous Tugela Falls has its source, rising at Mont Aux Sources (3282 metres up) and then plunging down the 1km basalt wall, into Royal Natal National Park. This is the Highest waterfall in Africa and in fact the 2nd Highest waterfall in the World.

The Lodge

This section is found nearer the foot of the Amphitheatre, close to the bottom section of Royal Natal National Park with a picture postcard view of the Amphitheatre from the lawn. The lodge is bright and airy has a swimming pool, independent self-catering chalets, restaurant and a thatched cocktail bar. All rooms are heated.

No need to bring anything along as the restaurant (which opens at 07h00) serves gorgeous food and light snacks there is a tuck-shop for extras.

Prices begin at R5 a meal. The al-a-carte menu runs until 14h45, after which we offer a SET three-course menu every night @ R60 for meat eaters and R50 for vegetarians. You get a starter, main course and a cocktail or dessert for this price.

The fully-stocked bar has a range of interesting music and alcohol. Bottled water and other soft drinks are available. The hostel also has a simple tuck shop for extra food.

A river winds its way through the lands and there is a small dam. For those with a head for heights we already offer rapp jumping from mountain peaks and bridges. The idea of the hostel is that it is a base from which you can explore different sections of the Drakensberg Park each day.

From this particular hostel you spend a day in one of each of the following areas.

1) Royal Natal Park (The bottom of the Amphitheatre)
2) Tugela Falls (The top of the Amphitheatre)
3) Cathedral Peak (The biggest indigenous forest in the Drakensberg, largest consolidation of rock art in the world.)
4) Lesotho (Read about our day trip under "activities" below.)
5) Rugged Glen (This section has the stables from which you horse trek)
6) Spioenkop Reserve (Game viewing - Rhinos, giraffe etc. and the site of the Spioenkop battle.)
7) Sterkfontein Dam ( 3rd longest dam in South Africa, nature reserve with Zebra, wildebeest etc, biggest variety of indigenous fish in the country, visit the underground hydro-electric scheme for free.)


Although the area is perfect for the nature lover it is also of great interest to those who wish to experience a more traditional South Africa. We have set up projects with the local Zulu and Sotho communities, where foreigners can get a brief glimpse into less Westernized lifestyles. Here we would like to stress that unlike many other tourist ventures, where there is a high level of syntheticism associated with "Cultural Tours/Villages", we offer something far more candid and less invasive. In fact the trips and workshops have been designed, and are conducted by, people from the community.

Activities!
Our tours are extremely popular! I have written a small explanation of each tour for you to look at. All guides have been approved and assessed by THEATA. Trips run all days of the week and on public holidays except for Xmas day and New Year's Day.

Please note that all trips must be booked the night before the tour's departure AT the hostel. No bookings are taken in advance for tours. A minimum of three people are required for each trip. A trip will be cancelled if weather is unsuitable.

A) Tugela Falls/Mont Aux Sources/Sentinel Hike
As you can see this trip has many different names. It is the most famous hike in South Africa as it takes one to the highest waterfalls in Africa (the second highest in the world!!) It is not particularly difficult, but really spectacular.

The trip starts at Amphitheatre Backpackers at 7:30 am. We drive around the spectacular Sterkfontein Dam, through Qwaqwa and up the side of the Amphitheatre via Witsieshoek Pass. If one decided to walk from the BOTTOM (Mahai campsite) to the TOP then it would take about 3-4 days to get there and back again. This is why we cheat and travel the extra distance to the base of the Sentinel where we walk to the TOP and back in one day (the perfect hike for impatient people!)

We then set off around the massive Sentinel Peak, up the kloof gully and to the TOP of the Amphitheatre (over 3000m up) and the TOP of the Drakensberg. From here you get your first view of the Devil's Tooth and the 1km drop down the Amphitheatre Wall into the bottom section of Royal Natal.

Off we tramp across the escarpment and along the Tugela River where folk can dip in the rock pools. Here you can stand a chance of catching a glimpse of the elusive and famous Bearded Vulture. To your right is the highest point, Mont Aux Sources, (and the source of 4 of our major rivers.)

Then it's on to the lip of the Amphitheatre to watch the highest waterfall in Africa (2nd highest in the world) as it drops 1km down the Basalt Cliffs. Here we have lunch, explore the plateau and then off back to the car with knee-tingling chain ladders on your descent.

The trip goes whenever we have customers who wish to take the trip.

This is a full day, costing R265, which includes lunch, entrance fees, community levy, a guide and transport.

B) Shuttle to Royal Natal Bottom Park.

We take people to the lower park every morning and fetch them in the afternoon. The shuttle is R20 per person (R10 there and R10 back.) You pay your own entrance fee.

C) Overnight Hiking.

If you wish to do overnight hiking we will organize this for you. There are great hiking trails across the escarpment towards Cathedral, Champagne and even as far as Sani! Be prepared.

2) Lesotho

This day trip is very special as no other tourists ever travel to the area that we visit. We take you over Monantso
Pass (a rugged pass on the side of the Amphitheatre) and into Lesotho. This mountain Kingdom is still as it was hundreds of years ago. The secret of the area that we visit is that it is not featured in any of the travel books and so it remains completely "untouristy."

The day begins from Amphitheatre Backpacker's at 7:30am.

The bus travels around Sterkfontein Dam and through Qwaqwa, a town that has an interesting mix of both Sotho and Zulu people. It was also one of South Africa's first "homelands" during apartheid.

It takes about 60 minutes to arrive at the South African border post. Visitors must ensure that they have a "multiple re-entry" visa into South Africa in order to be allowed back across this border on their way back.

The day is spent hiking to San cave paintings, visiting sangomas (witchdoctors, ) tasting Sotho food and beer, playing sport if there's a match on, visiting a local school and basically taking part in anything that is happening in the area at the time . A percentage of the money received from visitors is used to buy books etc. for a local school. This is an extremely popular trip and highly recommended.

This trip is also R265 and includes guide fees, food, transport, donation to the school, Sotho food and beer.

3) Cycling.

There are also a number of mountain bike routes that take you past various points of historical and geographical interest.

These include cycling with zebra, wildebeest and other game, visiting the vulture feeding site (where you have the opportunity of spotting the elusive Bearded Vulture) and going off road to the cave where the first settlers signed their initials in the 1800's

The mountain bikes are kept in good condition in order to ensure you are able to take in the beautiful surrounds! We also provide maps that we have personally designed for the trails, which highlight the different sites. You can choose whether to travel on or off the tar roads.

Half a day is R25 and a full day is R40

4) Horse riding.

Spend a day enjoying top quality horse riding with a conservation ranger. The rides are extremely popular. This is at the bottom of the Amphitheatre. Get there by taking our daily shuttle there and back or driving in your own car.

9:00am = 3 hours or 6 hours

10:00 am = 2 hours

2:00pm = 2 hours

2 hours = R80, 3 hours = R125, 6 hours = R195

For the 2 hour ride you do not need to be an expert, but the 6 hour rides are not recommended for beginners.

5) Fishing.

For those who have their own equipment, there are numerous dams in the area that are stocked as well as wild trout in the rivers, but one of the most famous aspects of this area is that Sterkfontein Dam (which we are next to) besides being the longest and deepest of South Africa's dams is also the dam with the largest variety of indigenous fish which includes Yellowfish that are far better fighters than trout or bass!

For those who prefer spin fishing you can catch Bluegill, Yellowtail, Bass, Catfish and numerous other fresh water varieties.

It is very easy to get to us as The Bazbus drops and picks up from our DOORSTEP. We also do pick-ups and drop offs from Harrismith and Bergville. All mainline coach services stop in Harrismith usually at midday. For those in hired cars FROM SOUTH

Port Shepstone

The Spot Backpackers

This beautiful little Spot is situated right at the beach. With its cheerful staff and chilled out vibe, it?s a must for a few days or even weeks!

dorm from 8.14EUR
private from 8.91EUR

Early risers can enjoy a surf or swim in the warm Indian Ocean or watch the sunrise. The rest can roll out of bed, grab a late breakfast and wonder on to the beach.
Lazy days drift by soaking up the sunshine or relaxing in a hammock with a good book.
If you feel like some action, boost your adrenaline with the highest gorge swing in the world or go shark diving with no cage!
Challenge the staff to a game of pool or table tennis or party the night away at the jovial pub. Or take life slowly and veg out for a while watching a movie or sitting around the bonfire chatting to new found friends.
Delicious home-cooked meals are available or your can spoil yourself at the many excellent restaurants nearby.

It is said that when the Aloes bloom in winter, the annual sardine run along the KwaZulu^?-Natal South Coast is close at hand.
Be on standby during May to July and the chances are good that you will experience one of Natures truly incredible phenomenon. Millions of silvery little fish shoal close inshore as they move north, accompanied by dolphin, whales, sharks and game fish. Nothing is small scale, numbers defy belief, and the frenetic activity of thousands of diving Seagulls produces a spectacle that you will want to tell your grandchildren about. Humans caught up in the magic of the moment, defy the odds and rush into the water to catch some of the fishy bonanza.
Located right on the beach where many a shoal has come ashore in the past, THE SPOT is probably the best place to be when the fish arrive. And, after an eventful day, what better than a fish braai (barbeque) South African style, a few cold beers and some story swapping around the fire, with the anticipation of what tomorrow will bring.

ACTIVITIES
Free river kayaks up the Mmtentweni river
Oribi Gorge Wild 5 has the world?s highest gorge swing in the world, abseiling, hiking and white water rafting

Our grapes are handpicked and the wine is made biologically, without filtration and is matured for two years in barrels at different temperatures.

Guests are accommodated in simple elegance and comfort. Each room has both an en-suite bathroom and patio. The rooms have been decorated in European style with a South African touch ? the walls of many decorated by works of well-known contemporary South African artists.

Relax at the pool or enjoy a leisurely walk or hike in the adjacent forests and mountains.

Auberge Rozendal?s environmental and health-conscious approach to life ensures clean air and pure water. No poisons are sprayed, while water is sourced from an underground stream and enhanced by a water catalyser imported from Plocher, Germany. Noise pollution/ electrosmog (ELF) is lessened by the absence of television sets and air-conditioning systems.

We are strongly focused on providing personalized attention to customer needs.

Our restaurant, situated in the homestead, offers a set menu consisting of dishes created using ingredients that are always seasonal, a large portion of which are taken straight from our bio-dynamic garden.

The cuisine can be described as fresh, creative and natural, making use of homegrown vegetables, fruits and herbs, as well as local products such as salmon trout and free-range duck breast. Meals may be enjoyed on the garden terrace and in the dining room. The menu is created daily, preceded by a glass of our own health-inspiring vinegar.

We are open to the public 7 days a week. For the restaurant, please follow the signs leading to reception where there is secure parking available.

Lunch is served from 12.00pm ? 15.00pm, and dinner from 19.00pm ? 21.00pm.
