Coasting cape town • Kia has equipped its beloved compact crossover with turbocharged power at last. So, we commandeered the Glacier White pocket rocket and Calvin Fisher proceeded to steer it along one of the Cape’s most iconic beachside roads with delicious meats in mind.

From camping to glamping • Desiree Steadman of Ultimate Adventures never camped – until the day she met her hubby, Simon, and realised that he camps for a living. She shared a bit of her camping experiences and put a few of Tentco’s products to the test.

Ready, steady… cook! • Every dyed-in-the-wool outdoor enthusiast – be that an overlander, camper, or explorer – will know that packing space can be a problem.

For Desiree and Simon Steadman of Ultimate Adventures their annual trek to view one of nature’s most awe-inspiring spectacles is a highlight on their tour calendar.

Boots on the ground • Just a bunch of ordinary women making an extraordinary difference. Bush Babes Conservation and Adventures hosted their first “boots-on-the-ground” intervention to remove snares in the Hoedspruit area and worked alongside the amazing dogs and handlers from K9 Conservation. Despite the horror and dread of seeing first-hand what rangers have to deal with on a daily basis and what really happens to animals being trapped, there was a lot of beauty and blessings.
