  • Travelling to Parts of Africa: Staying Safe

    Parts of Africa are very tourist friendly and you can have a perfectly safe, uneventful trip. Other parts are less safe, and these are the parts that might also be visited by professionals such as journalists and reporters who need to visit them to do their jobs. Travelling in these locations requires some knowledge and training so the people know how to keep themselves safe.

    Travel safety courses are a recommendation for people travelling in unsafe areas and for most journalists and reports, they are usually a prerequisite before going abroad. These kinds of courses should be paid for by companies sending employees to locations in Africa and, if people are self employed, they should be paid for by them as part of their professional investment and development. Courses teach practical skills and life lessons so people can stay safe while working in countries that have civil or political unrest.

  • Travel Courses for Businesses

    People regularly have to travel for work in many different types of businesses and in various industries. This might just be to another office, but even still, it will involve using transport systems in other countries, travelling by aeroplane, packing luggage, and eating and drinking. Depending on where offices are based, it may also mean spending time in big cities, or perhaps remote locations. All of these things can carry a level of risk for people who are travelling for business and it is the responsibility of the business to look after its employees. They may choose to send their staff who travel for their jobs on a business travel course. These are essential for people like reporters working in dangerous areas, but they can also be useful for anyone travelling for business, to any region and for any reason. Businesses must have risk assessments completed for all travel, and can account for any risks by sending employees on these courses.

  • Muizenberg Beach Holiday South Africa

    Muizenberg Beach Holiday South Africa

    Just where the Cape Peninsula curves to the east there is a small beach-side suburb of Cape Town, which is known for it’s white sandy beaches and breath taking views, more-so for it’s strong winds and great waves which attract hundreds or thousands of surfers each year.

    Muizenberg has a rich history, with a couple of main attractions to visit, such as the site of the 1795 battle, and the Rhodes Cottage Museum. Though more commonly known as “Surfers Corner” where the local community is centred around; it is considered to be the birthplace of surfing.

    The downside to Muizenberg is that it quiet most of the time and most of the tourists will be surfers, this however can be considered a plus for the romantics looking for a quiet get away without the crowds filling up the beaches.

    If you love sea views and don’t mind varying windy weather, as well as a great place to enjoy peace and quiet then Muizenberg is certainly worth considering as a place to go for a holiday.
