With a series of long weekends approaching in South Africa it normally means a mass exodus from major inland cities to supposed better destination. Some of us look for less traffic, sirens and crime and tend to rough it at some resort or campsite.

Expert Beachcombers (At least, we claim to be.) Always looking for paradise….and found it a few times. Are we addicted to island life?

A few years ago I was searching the internet to find a place for us to celebrate mom-in-law’s birthday. I came across a campsite called Matamba Bush Camp in the Waterberg that sounded just right for us but not for that occasion.

We managed to get a taxi, yes, you heard right, to take us to the airport. We didn’t realise there were any taxis – probably the only one on the island. The building didn't look like an airport terminal. Definitely not a plane in sight.

Across the water, on the edge of the aquamarine expanse lay a ribbon of white sand. On either side, trimmed by rocks and topping it, a blur of lush green tropical growth. The island looked deserted and inviting, except for a lone figure scrutinising us.

Someone approached us wanting our passports. Now there’s one thing I might do, is give my luggage away, but not my passport. That’s just not on. We’ve all heard of horror stories about losing passports, so I don’t trust anyone with mine.
