New Adventures to Enjoy in South Africa

If you stand in the middle of the intersection of Long and Church Streets in Montagu, you can view each of the four main styles of architecture found in the pretty old village. At first glance, there’s nothing to do in Elands Bay except surf and eat crayfish. Yet the same family caravans return to the beachfront campsite each summer. Paarl is frequently overlooked in favour of the refined salons of Franschhoek, and Stellenbosch’s leafy avenues of learning, with its gourmet eateries, sleek art galleries and please-see-me pavement cafés. At 120kmph, hurtling down the N3, it’s a case of blink and you’ll miss Howick.
