The reserve stands on farmland that has been re-wilded and cheetahs that used to be part of the horrendous pet trade have been reintroduced successfully. 🚙 A relatively short drive out of Cape Town, here we are in the Karoo for a stay at Rogge Cloof. 🛵 About 90 minutes from Cape Town, these crystal pools of the Steenbras Nature Reserve are a real paradise! 🤩The popular Bree Street Sundays has just become even more exciting! 🎶Fine dining inspired by music? Chef @ismaeel_chef (Fish), makes it happen! Forget about the formal fine dining etiquette in Cape Town’s newest fine dining venue on Bree and focus on food in this speakeasy-style setting around the bar where the menu changes every week. A beautiful ride away from Cape Town lies Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope. The national park is not only a bucket list to check off, it’s a unique ecosystem in which the wildlife is incredible!
