Reviews by their guests

“The entire team was great and we had an awesome experience! Tania was great to work with and very accommodating with all the changes with travel restrictions leading up to our trip. The crew did a great job putting us in a position to see the Bronze Whalers up close and have a once in a lifetime experience. Highly recommend!” wrote Brandon C on their TripAdvisor page.

Andrew S added; “On honeymoon in South Africa so we had to take the chance to go shark cage diving! After a few quick searches we stumbled upon Apex Shark Expeditions. They were extremely responsive and helped us set up a trip the next morning. The entire crew we went out with was knowledgeable and a great team to hang out with. After a quick tour of the bay and seal island we set up shop and got in the cage. It took no time at all for the crew to attract some copper sharks which was an awesome sight to see. Although we didn’t see any great whites (due to many other factors) the trip was still a bucket list item. Highly recommend!”

“My friend and I really enjoyed this experience! The communication throughout was great, we received responses within hours and the responder was kind, helpful and patient at all times. The trip was well organised, everything went according to plan and the meeting point was easy to find. Once we were on the boat we had a great crew that took very good care of us and enabled us to see 4 Great White Sharks. I can only applaud Apex, I would definitely recommend and even re-book with them. Thank you again for this memorable and unique experience,” said Allegra A.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities. We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa. Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation? Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose.

Expensive is not always better. Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday. They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice. A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday.

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance. Of these, service is the most important.

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion. However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review. We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience? The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table.

Well that’s our theory anyway. It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced. However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience. In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe. It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
