About us

  • Fish River Canyon

    Mit 160 km Länge und bis zu 500 m Tiefe der zweitgrößte Canyon der Welt, der größte Afrikas.

I had the honour to take care of him for two days: Frederik Willem de Klerk. He ended Apartheid in South Africa transformed the country into a…

  • Let’s go

    Yesterday we arrived on the other side of the world … Here you see South Africas four (4!) Nobel Peace Prize winners (together with another candidate – after having educated three men…)  

  • Leaving, on a jet plane

    … don’t know when I’ll be back again, (John Denver). Full of joy and happiness about leaving – the only sad thing is leaving these two behind.
