When you join a photography tour, it is easy to focus on getting the perfect shot. But great travel photography is not only about composition, lighting, and timing. It is also about respect. As a guest in another location, you are stepping into people’s everyday lives, communities, and meaningful spaces. The way you photograph others should reflect curiosity, humility, and especially care.

Seasonality has become part of everyday dining, particularly in the Cape, where chefs increasingly cook with local harvests front of mind. Recently appointed to lead gastronomy at Vergenoegd Löw Wine Estate in Stellenbosch, Executive Chef Michelle Theron brings more than 20 years of fine-dining experience to a 160-hectare farm known for regenerative agriculture and its famous flock of Indian Runner ducks, which naturally manage pests in the vineyards.
Across the Cape Winelands and the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, conferencing venues come into their own this time of year. Think vineyard views instead of blank walls. Fireside chats instead of fluorescent lighting. Fresh air between sessions.
It’s the season for team getaways that actually work.
So, if you’ve been waiting for the right moment to plan a conference, strategy session, or leadership retreat – this is it.
We’ve put together a list of five standout venues doing it right this autumn.
Stay up-to-date on the hottest, hippest and most happening things to do in Mzansi!
