Kei Mouth | Wild Coast Horse Trail, Best Kept Secret in South Africa

By Viola Woolcott

The Wild Coast stretches from Port Edward in the north to Kei Mouth in the south, and the regional district stretches in land as far as Mount Fletcher, where the hinterland becomes the highlands. It is a rich, fertile place, with many farmers indulging in the well-fed soil of the valleys of the series of rivers cutting their paths relentlessly to the Indian Ocean.

If you have a passion for horses, experience the essence of rural Africa on horse back. Explore countryside, hidden coves and long, endless stretches of deserted beaches. Gallop along the pristine sands. Canter into sleepy, tribal coastal villages and enjoy a great pub lunch. Discover the rolling hills and savanna grasslands. Go for a swim in the sea or lagoon if you or your horse need to cool off. This rare riding holiday has it all.

Encounter the wonderfully diverse South African culture. Experience a rainbow of people and a community working together through tourism for yourself.

No doubt, you will be fascinated by the unique combination of cross country riding and the exploration of our beautiful coastline.

This trail is about experiencing Africa like you have never experienced it before, starting in Kei Mouth. Together we explore local legend sites and rural villages and along the way we interact with the Xhosa people, before you experience the untouched beauty of the Wild Coast coastal environment.

Iguazu Falls, Holidays in Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina

By Ina Woolcott

Iguazu Falls | The Most Spectacular Waterfalls in the World

Iguazu Falls are not only the most beautiful waterfalls of the world, they are also the widest and you will find them at the border of Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. The falls are undoubtedly a top destination for visitors from all countries.

The Falls are also spelled IGUASSÚ, OR IGUAZÚ, Spanish CATARATAS DEL IGUAZÚ, Portuguese CATARATAS DO IGUAÇU, cataract on the Iguaçu River, 14 miles (23 km) above its confluence with the Paraná, at the Argentina-Brazil border.

The horseshoe-shaped Falls are 2.5 miles (4 km) wide, which is four times the width of Niagara Falls in North America and to a certain extend greater than the width of Victoria Falls in Africa.

There are numerous rocky and wooded islands on the edge of the escarpment over which the Iguaçu River plunges and divides the Falls into some 275 separate waterfalls or cataracts, varying between 200 and 269 feet (60 and 82 m) in height.

During the rainy season from November to March the rate of flow of the falls may rise to a maximum of 450,000 cubic feet (12,750 cubic m) per second.
