Delegates to the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg South Africa have
a superb opportunity to experience the wonders of our African wilds. Pre- and
post-conference tours to the magnificent Drakensberg mountains are almost a necessity
since you are so near. We too support sustainable development and are trying to integrate
sustainability into all aspects of our life. We have built a house using straw
bales, recycle where ever an opportunity raises its head and grow our own organic vegetables.
We have started a small eco-tourism project where local people produce crafts to
uplift the living standard in our immediate area. So come and visit our little
guesthouse and see for yourself how sustainability can be achieved practically.
Of course we are very interested in meeting people who have similar ideas and
are willing to share them. If we can help you tailor your itinerary to end
before, or begin after, the World Summit on Sustainable Development then please
feel free to email us and together we will arrange your travels to fit in with
World Summit dates. And hopefully your visit to our contribution to
sustainable development.
Our guesthouse ( The
Antbear ) offers hospitable accommodation in the Drakensberg mountains,
KwaZulu Natal South Africa. Eccentrically refurbished using wood gathered in the surrounding valleys,
this rustic accommodation combines comfort with its unique environment. The Antbear gets its name from the previous resident, who lived
beneath the floor boards before restoration. Perched on a kind of natural platform overlooking the
Bushman's river, the
house has panoramic views of the Drakensberg Mountains for 160 Km.
Meals are part of the real surprises that the
Antbear has on offer, as home made cooking is an essential part of the
menu. We like to use our own home grown organic vegetables and if we haven't
got, then we lean heavily on those local providers with similar attitudes to our
own. We both like cooking and are up to changing just about anything to suit
tastes or philosophies. Our cooking experience is in part a journal, a record of
events and memories expressed in recipes. In the course of our travels we have
filed away many recipes and with them images of people and places and their
lives. How food tastes has much to do with the associations we make and if you
would like to hear the tales of our meals we would love to tell them.
