Enjoy a surfing session in Muizenberg
Enjoy a surfing session in Muizenberg:
Muizenberg is without doubt one of the best spots in the world to learn to surf. The waves here are some of the smoothest in Cape Town, giving the surfer the opportunity to take their time getting up on the board. This surf spot is particularly suited to surfers who use a longboard.
Around Muizenberg beach you can find many shops that rent surfboards and wetsuits at very good prices. In addition, you can find some very goo...
Solar panels at the service of the company, but not only...
African Eagle has more than 80 solar panels currently. It produces 20 KwH, which makes it self-sufficient in energy. The excess power produced is redirected to the Eskom grid therefore helping the load shedding situation in South Africa. The panels were installed by African Eagle 5 years ago, with a total of 864 000 Kw produced since the installation. This is a long term financial and environmental benefit. It is an eco-friendly approach.

A full day E-Biking in the winelands of Stellenbosch
On a windy day in Cape Town I got up to get ready for my first electric bike tour ever. I had been told these were quite fun but for a strange reason I always thought it was something for lazy people. Though I thought I’d give it a try and I combined this first experience with a couple wine tastings in the wine region of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek as I love wine and mountains.
We arrived at Stellenbosch, South Africa’s second-oldest town while the weather changed to a...

PART 3 - Life Of Michael Baker
Living in Cape Town is truly a fantastic privelege. I am not sure that there are many places in the world where one can within half an hour’s drive literally be in another world.
One could be transported literally and figuratively form the hustle and bustle of the city with its incumbent sights and sounds to the serenity and natural beauty of the winelands regions of Stellenbosch, Franschoek and Paarl. As a local I am able to feel like a tourist and explore the various wine fa...
PART 2 - Life Of Michael Baker
Cape Town, my home for fifty years, some describe it as Europe in Africa. This might be true because at various stages in our history we were colonized by the Dutch and then the English. The French also rocked up on our shores as religious exiles.
So yes, the European influence is evident, and continues to be so. We are however a multicultural city created by the migration of people from the north east and west, slaves brought in by the Dutch, arrivals from Eu...
