48 hours in Maputo
48 hours in Maputo
A moment of bragging: I did a glossy magazine piece for the first time in ages for Skylife, on how to spend 48 hours in Maputo. The pdf file is enormous, but you can see in here in its magazine-y glory. But here it is on their website, with beautiful photos that really makes me want to learn to take better pictures. The caveat to all these kinds of stories is, 48 hours isn’t enough! Relax and…

The Guildhall
When you walk into the Guildhall, it takes a minute for your eyes to adjust. The pub’s interior is so dark that at first the old wooden bar blends into the darkness. Then there’s the smell, not unpleasant or even musty. Vaguely smoky, like a subtle reminder of the way bars used to smell before smoking was banned indoors. Upstairs, things brighten up. French doors open onto the metal wrap-around…

Iron House
The Iron House is a steel building that was designed by Gustav Eiffel who is most famous for designing the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France which was also built by his company. It was meant as the governor’s home. The tropical heat of Southern Africa made it unbearable to use as a home, but now it’s air conditioned and hosts a small museum to Mozambique’s pre-colonial history. It has become an…

Karoo Cafe
Settle into a comfy chair at one of Pretoria's most relaxing places
Karoo Cafe is almost like relaxing in a tent, if that tent had comfy couches, delicious meals, artwork, and coffee that leaves you warm and fuzzy inside. The tent covers an enormous space, with fireplaces for winter, and the warm smells of coffee roasting and grinding on site. A large second-hand bookshop has a good collection of Africana and general reading, spilling onto the display floor of a…

Hotels in Lagos
Business travelers are the bread and butter of hotels in Lagos, but plenty of them can give you a luxurious escape, home comforts or a quirky getaway. Federal Palace is a four-star hotel which boasts a large swimming pool ringed by four-poster beds where you can relax and forget about being in the city. The hotel restaurant serves burgers and cosmos, in a curious but pleasant crossed-wires way.…

Malalaituka Grills
I wandered into Malalaituka Grills on a trip to Yeoville with fish on my mind. I was hoping for lunch at La Camerounaise, famous for its grilled fish on the braai. First of all, I battled to find it, even though it’s clearly marked. My youngest son Kuna had fallen asleep on my shoulder, and Alex was starting to whine, so we hopped into the first place I saw, which happened to be Malalaituka. My…

Lambic
Walking into this charming old building, it’s a surprise to see hundreds of bottles of Belgian beers lining the walls. That sets the tone. Come to sample a cherry Kriek or sip a Leffe on the patio or have the plate of the day with a local draft. They serve until 10pm, but early birds can come from 8am for an English breakfast. 4, Rue St Georges. +230-212-6011 www.lambic.mu [mappress mapid=”191″]

Coconuts
Another staple of the Ilha, Coconuts is located at the end of the peninsula and looks out over the ocean. Equally lovely to enjoy a daytime drink on the beach and to linger over an evening of seafood with friends. Like so many places in Luanda, Coconuts is not a cheap night out. Be prepared to splurge, or to use that expense account. Hours Monday to Friday 11am-midnight. Weekends 10am-11pm.…

The Company's Garden
The Company’s Garden
The name is a holdover from the days of the Dutch East India Company, which colonized the Cape as a private enterprise and started The Company’s Garden in 1652 to grow food to supply its ships sailing between Europe and Asia. One of the original pear trees still grows in what is now a public park that links some of the city’s most important landmarks. At the bottom end, Queen Victoria Street…
