Flying Media bei Dreharbeiten in Südafrika

Während einer 7-tägigen Reise durch verschiedenePrivatreservate in Südafrika, produzierte Sven Klawunder und sein Team von Flying Media einige Beiträge über das Thema Luxus-Safaris inSüdafrika. Neben Filmportraits über unterschiedlichste Lodges wurden auch die Durchführung und Qualität der einzelnen Safaris dokumentiert.
Eine TV-Doku sowie zahlreiche Videobeiträge entsteht nun innerhalb der Postproduktion über das interessante Thema in Deutschland.
Für Flying Media wieder ein Highlight in diesem Jahr, denn die Impressionen, Emotionen und unglaubliche Gastfreundschaft in Südafrika waren kaum zu übertreffen.
Bereits bei den Vorbereitungen sowie auch bei der Durchführung wurde Flying Media durch zahlreiche Partner unterstützt:
Die Vorplanung der Lodges sowie die Vorabinformationen und Beratung zur Auswahl der Lodges hat Roland Hoede von www.exclusivetravelchoice.com übernommen und damit den ersten Step zu unserem Projekt ins Rollen gebracht.
Anne Kaiser von www.mm-travel-solutions.com hat mit ihrem unglaublichen Spirit und Charme die gesamte Tour begleitet und nicht nur durch Kompetenz und Organisationstalent geglänzt sondern auch zur absoluten positiven Stimmung im ganzen Team beigetragen.
Wir werden auch hier in Kürze über die Einzelheiten und die Verbreitung unserer Beiträge informieren. Die Lodges wie Sabi Sabi earth Lodge, Garonga Lodge und Motswari Lodge haben jedenfalls auch bei uns nach den Dreharbeiten bleibende Eindrücke hinterlassen – jede Lodge auf ihre Art…
Ein kleiner Blick in die Zukunft: Flying Media hat bereits mehrere Hebel bewegt um auch in Zukunft Projekte in Südafrika und über Südafrika ins deutschsprachige Gebiet zu bringen. SÜDAFRIKA-TV.DE ist bereits in der konkreten Planungsphase und bereits beim Online-TV-Verlag als Projekt 2013 fest eingeplant. Im Februar 2013 fliegt Sven Klawunder (Inhaber Flying Media) bereits zu konkreten Planungsgesprächen nach Kapstadt.
Wir freuen uns!

Pressemitteilung: South African Tourism


Advent, Advent die Sonne brennt

Wer dem vorweihnachtlichen Schmuddelwetter entfliehen möchte, verbindet
die Suche nach ausgefallenen Geschenken für Familie und Freunde mit einem
Urlaub im sonnigen Südafrika.


Frankfurt, 31. Oktober 2012 – Wenn Schnee und Eis bei uns Einzug halten, startet in
Südafrika die Sommersaison. Statt Wintermantel und Glühwein stehen zur Adventszeit
am Kap Braai, Strand und Sundowner auf dem Programm. Herrlich warme Temperaturen
um die 25°C in Kapstadt versüßen sogar die sonst so stressige Suche nach Geschenken
für die Liebsten. Dank des hervorragenden Wechselkurses des südafrikanischen Rand
von 11,25* zu einem Euro ist Südafrika für deutsche Reisende diese Weihnachten
doppelt attraktiv. (*Stand: Oktober 2012)

Für ausgefallene Geschenke auf dem Gabentisch ist Südafrika ein Einkaufsparadies. In
den vielen kleinen Geschäften in Kapstadt und Johannesburg wird man gewiss fündig:
afrikanische Handwerkskunst, handgefertigte Ledersandalen, aufwendig hergestellte
Ndebele-Puppen, handgeflochtene Zulu-Körbe oder Mode der aufstrebenden Designer
des Landes. Rund um Kapstadts Long Street befinden sich zahlreiche, individuelle
Boutiquen wie Imagenius, eine Schatztruhe für ausgefallene Accessoires, hochwertigen
Modeschmuck, Taschen, Keramik und Kunst. Gleich gegenüber befindet sich mememe,
eine Modeboutique, die die Entwürfe junger Designer aus Kapstadt und Johannesburg
anbietet.

Im ganzen Land sorgen Weihnachtsmärkte für festliche Stimmung und bieten zusätzliche
Inspiration auf der Suche nach dem perfekten Geschenk. Zu den beliebtesten
Adventsmärkten Südafrikas zählen der Magical Moonlight Market in Johannesburg und
der Christmas Gift Fair in Constantia. Ein tolles Mitbringsel sind auch die kulinarischen
Spezialitäten, die man zu genüge an den vielen Marktständen angeboten bekommt.
Hausgemachte Marmeladen, typisch südafrikanisches Biltong und süß-scharfe Chutneys,
die hervorragend zum Weihnachtsbraten passen.
(www.bryanstonorganicmarket.co.za)

Neben sonnengereiften, kräftigen Rotweinen für das Festessen, finden Urlauber weitere
kulinarische Anregungen in den südafrikanischen Winelands. In Stellenbosch zum
Beispiel können Gourmets bei einer Wein- und Schokoladen-Verköstigung handgemachte
Pralinen probieren, die hervorragend zu einem südafrikanischen Shiraz oder Cabernet
Sauvignon passen. (www.waterfordestate.co.za)

Ein Flug nach Johannesburg bzw. Kapstadt mit South African Airways ist schon ab 890
Euro inklusive aller Steuern und Gebühren zu buchen (Preis ab Frankfurt/München,
gültig für Abreise vom 29. Oktober – 18. Dezember 2012). In zehn Stunden – geflogen
wird über Nacht – erreichen Reisende die Südspitze des afrikanischen Kontinents wie im
Schlaf und brauchen keinen Jetlag zu befürchten, denn eine Zeitverschiebung gibt es in
Südafrika nicht. (www.flysaa.com)

M&M Travel Solutions loves Mzoli's

The M&M Solutions girls head off to Mzoli's last Sunday


M&M Travel Solutions is all about advising our clients on what is best. We go and experience the places we recommend and keep track of the reputation. We love to use our personal experiences as a reference and that is exactly what we did this past weekend.

The M&M Travel Solutions' girls, Anne, Kylie, Katharina and Bianca went off to one of Cape Town's favourite hot spots. Situated in the Gugulethu Township on the outskirts of Cape Town, is Mzol's. Mzoli's is primarily a butchery, however people typically go and choose their meat then braai it on one of the many fires in the open air. Then it is off to the restaurant next door where people of all races and walks of life come together for a real party. Food, alcohol and music is what brings everyone together. It is the place to really see what Nelson Mandela's vision was for the new South Africa.

Although situated in the middle of the township, the local community works together to make it safe for the tourists. This does not mean that nothing will happen, just that it is safer than usual. Pick pocketing can easily still occur, however we all know that it is a typical 80/20 principal where 80 percent of the locals and visitors are good and want to deter crime, yet 20 percent have the urge to take advantage of situations. So we do recommend that wallets are not kept in pockets but rather that a general bag is carried which is under your arm and sipped closed. Keep your eyes on your things and you will definitely have a great time.

Mzoli's is a lot of fun. We went in a group, ate out of a shared bowl and danced to the local music with locals and tourists. People are there to have a good time and that is exactly what you end up having.

The meat takes some time to prepare, at least 30 min, however it can take up to 90 minutes. Nevertheless, it seems to not bother anyone. Once the meat is ready it it apparent how worth the while the wait is. Tending towards the spicy side, people should make sure they have something to drink.

Mzoli's was officially founded in 2003 by a local man called Mzoli Ngcawuzele. This was possible firstly due to his ambitions and secondly the start-up fund he received from the development bank of South Africa. By 2006 Mzoli's became one of the hottest places to be and enjoyed by every race and income group. It is lovely to see how many successful black men and women return to Mzoli's on a Sunday afternoon (in their smart cars), to enjoy the traditional ways of life and give back to the community in various ways.

We at M&M Travel Solutions had an awesome time on Sunday, made lots of new friends and ate delicious meet. It was the perfect ending to an exciting weekend.

M&M Solutions' work on Kabel 1


Craig Marshall on Kabel 1


On the 17th of September 2012, M&M Travel Solutions lived an extremely proud moment in the company's history. Craig Marshall, the managing director of M&M Travel Solutions (DMC), was featured in the South African episode of the German TV show- Foodhunter. This episode was aired at 17:50 local time on German TV channel- Kabel 1.

In the show Craig aids Top German chef, Matthias Ruta, with exploring and experiencing native South African foods. Matthias' idea is to create unique dishes that are made with South African ingredients. However, the twist is that the food is not merely bought in a Supermarket but rather "hunted" for in the nature. The show is primarily targeted at the adventurous men of Germany.

To bring his manly concept to life, Matthias assigns Craig Marshall as his locations scout. Craig's vast experience and knowledge about SA allows him to create a suitable trip as well as explain various foods of the visited areas. The program begins at Bartholomeus Klip Farmhouse in Hermon, then moves on to Hog Hollow Country Lodge in Plettenberg Bay and finally HillsNek Safaris in the Amakhala Game Reserve.

Help Save SA Rhino with Chipembere Rhino Foundation

Everyday should be World Rhino Day

Help The Chipembere Foundation Save The SA Rhino

Last Saturday, the 22nd of September, the world celebrated 'World Rhino Day'. Many Facebook posts and Twitter tweets were dedicated to this special day with people trying to raise awareness of the problems that we are faced with... the extinction of our Rhino. 

As much as we all appreciate the day dedicated to our majestic mammal, we at M&M Solutions are passionate about reminding and encouraging individuals to spread awareness of this issue daily. Many people of our older generations may not be as concerned about this issue as the younger people of our society. The realization that future generations may never have the opportunity to see a rhino in a game park has not hit everyone yet. In fact, by not reacting to these murderous acts, we are not fighting for the future of our children and grandchildren. 
M&M Solutions is a dedicated fan of what the Chipembere Foundation does. Chipembere Foundation is a non-profit, privately run foundation which was established almost instantaneously after the tragic loss of two rhinos in the Amakhala Game Reserve in the year 2010. The foundation is committed to assisting in the protection and conservation of the Rhino in Southern Africa. With the realisation that more than 220 rhinos have been poached since the beginning of this year, the foundation is desperately trying to reduce this rate. However, the organisation needs help! Any help, big or small, will make a significant change in the efforts of protecting South Africa's Rhinos. 

We ask you to please help this foundation to help the rhinos of today so that our future generation may have the same opportunities of seeing and learning about the rhino as we have had. 

What will our children see when they go on Game Drives???
