The Land Rover Defender is a nineties child. It has the benefit of using modern design thinking and it comes with a proud history that traces its roots to the Royal Family and the British army. We took the Defender 90 D300 X-DYNAMIC for a test drive.

Just two hours away from Cape Town, there exists a different type of royalty. The bourgeoisie of the big blue, the rulers of the ocean – the Marine Big Five.

The Southern Right Whale, Great White Shark, Cape fur seal, African Penguin and the Bottle-nose Dolphin are the star attractions on any ocean safari in Gansbaai. The area is world famous for some of the best whale and shark sightings, and it is fellow big 5 members, the penguins and seals, that attract the predators here in the first place.
