Tempting travel

Have you been bitten by the travel bug? If not, let us tempt you with a duffel bag of travel reviews this week. Brain Berkman lives the life romantic at the totally lush Pavilions in Phuket, while Cari Van Wyk explores local with a review of BLISS in Cape Town and I review the scenic Tala Game Reserve and beautiful Brahman Hills, both situated in KZN. Then Kirsty Carpenter and Abigail Munroe give their top picks for stop-off attractions along the Cape to Nambia route.

Psst, we've got tickets to the African Beer Emporium sneak peek event, enter here!

Why not take advantage of the forthcoming public holidays and pack your bags?
