September 2019 issue on sale Posted on 15 August 2019 In this issue of Getaway, we’re gearing up for spring, as are the Springbucks who’ll battle it out against the best of world in the Rugby World Cup in Japan from 20 September. This month, Justin Fox reflects on his own recent nine-day trek through Japanese forests, picking up on the latest travel trends that are good for body and the soul. John Maytham returns to Central Africa to experience a Big Five luxury safari in Rwanda, Alison Westwood goes rock-hopping in the Oorlogskloof Nature Reserve in Nieuwoudtville, and Christi Nortier gets to know the humble wine region of the Cape’s Breedekloof Valley. For our international story, we follow Pippa de Bruyn through the samba city of Rio de Janeiro, and wild desert horses couldn’t drag Teagan Cunniffe away from the Namib-Naukluft, where she encounters the equine wildlife in crisis. Next month, look out for our new-look, revamped and redesigned Getaway!

Dale Morris found the humans interesting too. Matthew Sterne – Eastern Cape, page 74 When you think of game reserves in the Eastern Cape, Addo probably comes to mind first. But there’s way more to this biodiverse province than elephants. We set out to find the lesser-known parks where wildlife lovers get their fix. Jazz Kuschke – Maputaland, page 84 The giant trevally holds a much-revered place in South African saltwater fly-fishing lore. Just as getting to the far-flung Maputaland lairs of this elusive fish was a mission improbable. Teagan Cunniffe – Namib Desert, page 90 In the face of drought and predation, Namibia’s population of wild desert horses has dwindled to crisis point. A decision had to be made to ensure both their survival and that of the tourism industry which relies on them.
