Introducing David Bristow
I’m delighted to welcome David Bristow to the Africa Travel site here at About.com. David will be contributing regularly to the South African content on the site. He’s already started eating and drinking his way through some of the finer restaurants in the land, check out his review of The Strandloper in Langebaan, just north of Cape Town. The Strandloper is a no frills fish restaurant on the beach, where “”if you want salad with your meat then have some chicken”. Children are charged according to their height and the ten course meal takes the average patron around 5 hours to finish.
Besides being able to spot a great restaurant, David was born and bred in South Africa and has covered Africa, mostly south of the equator, for the past 20 as a travel and nature writer and a photographer. For 15 years he was editor of Africa’s top-selling travel magazine Getaway. His main interest, besides environmental issues, is seeking out new and exciting places for adventures – although comfort is never eschewed.
David has authored more than a dozen books on on South and southern Africa, climbed Africa’s 10 highest peaks (among others) and scuba dived on most of the best sites around Africa and the Indian Ocean islands.
Welcome David!
