WATCH: Unexpected lioness visit turns self-drive safari into a wild adventure
This unexpected visit offered both a thrill and a glimpse into the majestic beauty of the African wilderness.
'Kattie will bakkie-ry ... Welcome to South Africa 🇿🇦,' wrote Oosthuizen in the video's caption, setting the tone for a humorous and captivating adventure.
The footage begins with the lioness cautiously surveying Oosthuizen's Ford bakkie before confidently climbing onto the back.
It's important to note that all windows and doors of the vehicle were securely closed, ensuring the safety of both the passenger and the feline guest.
For an astonishing ten minutes, the lioness rested at the back of the vehicle, a moment that Oosthuizen could likely never have anticipated when he embarked on his safari.
This incident serves as a testament to South Africa's reputation as one of the premier wildlife destinations in the world, where intimate encounters with majestic creatures can happen unexpectedly.
Lions are primarily found in fenced areas and national parks in the country.

Why Johannesburg's CBD still works
The CBD is often dismissed as chaotic, but with efficient services, vibrant street vendors and working infrastructure, there's proof it can still thrive. On Saturday, fans turned out in their tens of thousands to enjoy the rugby at Ellis Park. Many would have used Gautrain, a wonderful example of a public private partnership – and then transitioned seamlessly onto a Prasa-operated train that would have deposited them straight outside the stadium. It's enough to make you weep that we should be even reading that with wonder, but there you are. We're congratulating fish for swimming. It is precisely the integration between Gautrain and Metrorail that will save Ellis Park Stadium, because parking there is a nightmare – and then you have to make it out past all the tour buses and e-hailing taxis to leave at the end. But it's not the only thing that works in the city, that public opinion tries to tell you otherwise – aided and abetted by the efforts of some of our elected officials to serve themselves, rather than the ratepayers. The department of home affairs' Johannesburg office in Harrison Street is a wonderful case in point. ALSO READ: South African flair in the face of adversity Parking requires some illicit private partnerships with self-appointed marshals doubling as the usual touts and there's still a queue outside like other home affairs offices, but the street vendors; from the amagwinya (fat cakes) and cool drink sellers to the Heath Robinson baristas with flasks of hot water and tins of Frisco, provide a better service than you'll find elsewhere. Inside is where it all comes together; one hall, properly managed by a home affairs greeter, plenty of staff, queues that move in literally a fraction of the time you'd spend doing the buttock shuffle on the silver chairs in Randburg – if you've managed to queue outside the correct little pondokkie among the collection that make up hatches, matches, dispatches and IDs/passports. Harrison Street home affairs has always been one of my favourites, even if it does look like something straight out of the set of The Walking Dead. It works and it works well, but far too few of us denizens of the northern suburbs can get past the popular hype of the CBD as the 21st-century edition of Joseph Conrad Heart of Darkness. There's a lot going for the CBD, whether it is getting vital documents or witnessing a great game of rugby, but the longer we rely on others to fix it for us, the poorer we will be. We need to reclaim our space and make it work. NOW READ: Why Joburg's roadblock outrage misses the point

Get close to nature at Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge
Where luxury meets the wild. The sweeping plains of the Pilanesberg deliver thrilling moments for adults, while the lodge ensures even its youngest guests feel exhilarated to be there. For me it was a real bush treat. From the moment we arrived, Wandile Ngxesha, Kwa Maritane's guest relations manager, made sure we felt looked after. Warm, attentive and full of local knowledge, Ngxesha personally walked us through the lodge's facilities and activities, answering every question with patience and enthusiasm. His quiet care set the tone for our stay, a professional yet personal touch that made us feel at home in the heart of the wild, where every sunrise brought the promise of new discoveries and every sunset wrapped the day in gold. Picture: Supplied ALSO READ: Are there any ports left? Going barefoot all year round in the E Cape Adventures for young explorers The Junior Rangers programme, run by the bubbly ranger Bonolo, turns the bush into an exciting classroom, where kids learn to track animals, explore nature, and get their hands dusty in the best way possible. Bonolo's patience impressed me so much that I wanted to know more about her, her ability to manage a car with more than five children. A skill. Between adventures, they can run free on the playground, bounce on trampolines, or let loose in the jumping castle, while rainy days are made fun with a dedicated indoor kiddies programme. Evenings enchant every family member. One night, we joined the lodge's star-gazing ritual under the vast African sky. With powerful telescopes scanning the cosmos, we observed lunar craters and glimpsed Saturn's delicate rings. Crisp night air carried the bushveld's earthy scent, and for moments, the world felt still – time pausing as we gazed deeper into the universe. Picture: Supplied Kwa Maritane, meaning 'Place of the Rock', sits at the foot of a rocky outcrop on the slopes of an ancient volcano. From the lodge's deck, the land stretches out in shades of tawny gold and rich green, dotted with acacia trees and framed by the undulating curves of distant hills. The air is alive with sound – the call of a fish eagle echoing over the valley, the rustle of leaves stirred by a warm breeze, the far-off rumble of elephants moving across the plains. This is the malaria-free Pilanesberg National Park, where lions, rhinos, leopards, elephants, and buffalo roam free. The lodge's underground hide is one of its most thrilling features, allowing guests to watch animals at the waterhole from just metres away. As you stand there, the cool stone beneath your hands and the faint smell of dust in the air, you feel invisible, yet deeply connected to the wildlife unfolding before you. Picture: Supplied A lodge of comfort and discovery Kwa Maritane's rooms are crafted for comfort after a day in the bush. Family rooms feature double beds and sleeper couches, while executive king and twin rooms provide spaciousness and understated elegance. Each is equipped with air-conditioning, private bathrooms, DStv, tea and coffee stations, and safes. Some open onto balconies where you can sip a steaming cup at dawn. Game drives here are more than excursions: they are journeys into a living, breathing landscape. Morning drives begin in cool, dewy air, the smell of wild sage drifting through the open vehicle. As the sun rises, its warmth settles on your skin, and the silhouettes of giraffes give way to colour and detail. In the late afternoons, the light turns honeyed and shadows grow long. Sundowner stops bring the taste of crisp drinks and the sound of cicadas before the journey back, headlights revealing glowing animal eyes in the dark. The Bush Braai is a must-do: arriving at a fire-lit boma deep in the park, you're greeted by the smell of sizzling meat and the crackle of flames, with the Milky Way stretched out above like a river of light. Guided bush walks take you closer to nature's details, the crunch of dry grass underfoot, the faint scent of wildflowers, and the thrill of spotting and touching (as Bonolo encourages a sensory bush experience) fresh animal tracks in the sand. Kwa Maritane balances adventure with tranquillity. The Legacy Balance Spa offers treatments that ease away stress, while the gentle soundtrack of the bush plays in the background. Two swimming pools shimmer under the African sun, one with a playful slide for children. For active moments, there's a fitness centre, tennis courts, and a climbing wall. For quiet ones, you can simply sink into a chair on the viewing deck and watch the world go by. Meals here are unhurried, meant to be savoured as much as the scenery. Breakfasts bring the smell of freshly baked bread and strong coffee, lunches are light and refreshing, and dinners are full of flavour, often shared under open skies. The bar, with its warm lighting and friendly chatter, is perfect for a sunset cocktail, while room service means you can dine in the privacy of your room. Picture: Supplied Beyond the lodge This bush lodge is more than just a safari destination; it's a sanctuary for the soul. In the hush of early morning, as the first birdsong filters through the air, peace wraps around you like a blanket. In the heat of the day, with the view stretching endlessly ahead, you find yourself breathing deeper. And at night, under a sky littered with stars, you realise that the noise of everyday life has faded into something distant and unimportant. With exceptional service from people like Wandile Ngxesha, activities that fill both the heart and the mind, and a setting that restores your sense of balance, Kwa Maritane lives up to its name the 'Place of the Rock.' It grounds you, anchors you, and leaves you quietly changed. NOW READ: WATCH: Minister of Tourism Patricia de Lille launches Tourism Month

From Soweto to Norway: Bly Chitja's path to the Homeless World Cup
Bly Chitja for the South African Homeless Football Team travelling to Norway in August 2025 Image: AfrikaExperience The 2025 Homeless World Cup, an annual football tournament celebrating its 20th anniversary, is set to kick off in Oslo, Norway, from August 23 to 30. T he World Cup is about much more than a set of competitive, fast, high-quality matches. Central to the global event is its initiative, providing a powerful platform for those who have experienced forms of homelessness and housing insecurity to rewrite their futures through the power of sport. Among those traveling to the the world cup will be Bly Chitja along alongside his compatriots, Waseem Jacobs, Gift Valtyn, Marvin Windvogel, Simcelile Gxoyiya, Dylan Esau, and Luthando Sibulelo Fuyani. His story, and that of his teammates, is a powerful example of passion and purpose, and how, when given a second chance at life's game, anything can become possible; more than just one's dreams coming true. Bly is what coaches call an all-rounder, agile on the turn, and adaptable across the four-a-side format of the Homeless World Cup. His early footballing roots trace back to the dusty streets of Soweto, where games would erupt at any time of the day in between on highways and taxi ranks. To this day, he plays with flair and quick feet that move past the eye, all whilst remaining focused with humility, "I'm not the biggest, but I've got the flair. Give me the ball and I'll make anything happen," Bly says. Off the pitch, Bly stays focused and grounded. He often films TikTok videos that capture his team and, more importantly, his love for dancing and expressive soul. Here, Bly expresses his green and gold heart. Since the age of five, Bly has had one constant: soccer. On the pitch, he confronts the struggles of his youth as the pitch becomes his sanctuary, his silent confidant, where his past life finally recedes. When he heard about trials for the South African Homeless World Cup team earlier this year, he recounts with a touch of self-doubt, almost as if it happened to someone else, admitting he had "no idea he would make the team." However, he did. Now, Bly is going to Norway for the Homeless World Cup. To him, it's not just a tournament; it's the realization of a dream he once thought too grand, too impossible even to whisper. For Bly, he's not here for anyone but soccer. As a youngster, Bly found himself navigating the streets of Soweto as he played the game of the 'fast life' he describes. These words carried a lingering scent of a traumatic past, he explained, always moving, always seeking the next job. Born in Johannesburg in 1998, he left home at an early age and went to live with his grandmother in Soweto. Now 26, Bly carries those memories like old scars. Visible yet fading as he sets his sights on his future. Looking ahead, he is straight-headed toward the future, as he locks away his past. Bly's move to Cape Town was no small feat; he had to detach himself from his crew, which he described as 'nearly impossible,' especially after witnessing the deaths of two of his closest friends due to this lifestyle. It takes a specific kind of fortitude and inner strength to break free from the lifestyle he experienced in Johannesburg. It was space and time where he and his crew were comrades in arms, all whilst working for a boss. When it came to getting out of this tightly knitted network of life, getting out meant was for Bly, " a once-in-a-lifetime, either life or death choice," he explains. His journey to the Cape was a much slower bus ride, a stark contrast to the blur of countless drives behind the wheels of cars he and his crew had stolen. Bly knows deep down that there is more to his life than the relentless grind of the fast life. His decision to leave reflects that he carries no regrets, and "I cannot go back," Bly reflects. Recalling a memory of how he and his crew had hijacked a car, he sat in the driver's seat of the stolen vehicle. "I remember as if I was not in the driving seat of my life," he tells IOL, and "I was without direction, no purpose Bly sat and looked over his shoulder towards Table Mountain, hesitant at first. He speaks of his claim to fame as a youngster with a smile on his face, Bly self-describes himself as the "naughty boy, a funny guy, and that's who I am," he laughs. Running away from home was a drastic step for young Bly, and after dropping out of high school, "it was just not for me," he says, and even for a "funny guy," the streets of Soweto came with an immense pressure that held no space for any jokes. It was his grandmother who was an anchor for Bly during these turbulent years. After running away from his home, he moved in with her. Finding a fragile stability amid the chaos and in the absence of his father, whom he describes as 'manipulative and absent,' only came when his father sought something, he tells IOL. Even with his grandmother's support, the allure of the streets and the relentless rhythm of the 'fast life' continued to pull him. His crew was his surrogate family, filling part of the void left by his absent father and fractured home. Working for a boss in this underworld meant carrying out high-stakes showmanship hijackings. For Bly, these weren't just mischievous doings; it became his "bread and butter for the next day," he mentions quietly. His survival depended on these memories he prefers to forget, for the game of the fast life was "survival of the fittest," Bly affirms. A crucible that forged his resilience, even as it threatened to consume him. Leaving Soweto wasn't just one thing; his journey to the Mother City wasn't just a physical distance on a rumbling bus; more so, it was a deliberate break away from one life in hopes of embracing another. Bly knew in his heart there was more to life than the relentless grind he'd left behind. This decision to move wasn't an impulse one. It was his grandmother's wish for him, and, too, his life's dream. Life in Cape Town presented its own set of challenges, but they were different. Here, Bly's game was about building, not surviving. He found his way to the Youth Solutions building in Salt River, which was just after COVID. He now calls home the Youth Soulution's building in Salt River, Cape Town, dedicated to giving young people from all walks of life a new start. Youth Solutions, for Bly, is his home. It provided the structure and nurturing environment he had not known before. As the chaotic echoes of his past faded and a supportive, steady rhythm of a life built on purpose replaced them, he took the opportunity to start writing his very different future. OASIS, the organization that has played a pivotal role in Bly's journey, has been at the core of Bly's heart; it has offered him the opportunity, stability, and guidance that led him directly to his selection for the National Team. OASIS, at its heart, embodies the core mission of the Homeless World Cup: providing pathways to reintegration, fostering self-belief, and building community through the structure and discipline of sport. For Bly, OASIS has not just been a facilitator; it has been his bedrock, empowering his renewed hope to chase his footballing dreams with absolute vigour. Having already secured a place with OASIS upon his return from Norway, Bly's ultimate goal is to play professionally in South Africa, for clubs like Cape Town City, Cape Town Spurs, or Stellenbosch FC. He frequently speaks of the words he has heard many times, "Boy, you're a star, don't quit this thing, just carry on playing, boy, you're good," Bly tells IOL.
