Hi my name is Christine Price - one of my favourite African landscapes is Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. It looks great in good weather but also one of my favourite places to see in the rain.

I am Carey Duncan and have lived in Morocco for more than 3 decades. One of the most spectacular landscapes I have come across is this narrow gorge in the Atlas Mountains. The road makes for a hair-raising journey but the sense of achievement of what you climbed up is pretty satisfying when you look back from the top.

Hi, I’m Graham Young from Pretoria, South Africa. The Richtersveld is one of my favourite landscapes. It is a spectacularly, rugged desert characterised by high mountains, situated in the north-western corner of South Africa’s Northern Cape Province. A couple of years ago, when I was there, it rained. Within two to three days the landscape’s hues changed from browns to verdant greens. So special!

My name is Nina Brand and growing up watching the sunset over Nature’s Valley in South Africa is an experience I am so grateful for. Floating along in the current as the tide comes through the lagoon mouth pictured is a close second!

Hi, my name is Noel Matuvhunye. I was born and raised in the small town of Masvingo, Zimbabwe. Growing up, my grandfather often took us to a local tourist destination called Great Zimbabwe. With each visit, I developed a deeper appreciation for it as a landscape, and over time, it became one of my favourite places.

Hi, my name is Nicholaih Faro. My favourite African landscape has to be my home region, Namakwaland. A semi-desert that remains dry and dusty for most of year until Spring, when an incredible display of colourful flowers blanket the landscape for as far as the eye can see. It is one of the many landscapes that truly encapsulates the deceptive beauty of our continent's natural wealth where even a drop of rain can completely transform a space into something remarkable.

I'm Mark Peddle - the Cederberg is my favourite landscape. Its mysticism, its harshness, its beauty and hidden secrets all lie in wait to be discovered. Every year I visit at different times and each season brings a new perspective. From hidden cave paintings to deep gorges populated by century old ceders, the region has a pull that draws you in.

Hi! My name is Hape Matheka.

The landscape I chose is Mohale Dam in Lesotho. This place has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My dad has worked there for almost all of my life, and visiting him during school holidays became a cherished tradition. It is more than just a site but rather it feels like a second home. Waking up to the view of the dam and the surrounding mountains and view of the dam is breathtaking, calming and humbling all at once. It’s a landscape that connects me to my family, my memories, and gives me a sense of belonging.

Hi all, my name is Evuya and one of my favorite African landscape is one close to home. Each time my family and I traveled to the West Coast, we would stop there, making it a kind of ritual pause in our journeys. The name itself, meaning “place of abundant water,” captures the spirit of the land.

Returning to Tsitsikamma always reminded me of the rhythm of travel, family togetherness, and the simple joy of being surrounded by beauty that feels deeply African, rooted in belonging and memory.

My name is Rebecca Khiba and one of my favourite African Landscapes is one of the National parks.

Kruger National Park is a true African gem, it consists of wildlife and scenic landscapes that leave visitors fascinated by the outdoors. As one of Africa's largest game reserves, it's home to the big five which is the lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and cape buffalo and also other variety of animals that roam the savannas and grasslands. The parks rivers and diverse landscapes offer breathtaking views. Especially when you are on a sunrise drive or exploring the park's trails. Within the field of landscape architecture, Kruger National Park serves as an incredible source of inspiration, showcasing the natural elements. The park's design and management strategies,also prioritizing conservation and sustainability, demonstrate the importance of thoughtful planning in preserving Africa's natural beauty and wildlife. It has a rich cultural heritage and commitment to conservation. It is definitely one of my favorites and a must visit destination for anyone passionate about landscape architecture and the natural outdoors and a lover for your wildlife.

Water Stewardship: A Defining Challenge for Urban Futures

# data[].attributes.body
One of the greatest challenges of the 21st century is taking responsible care of water in our urban environments. Through protection of water resources, rain harvesting, and reducing waste, we can move toward cities that thrive in balance with nature. Smart stormwater management is not only about serving people, but also about safeguarding wildlife and the broader ecology – a truly sustainable way forward.

Let me share with you my book, The Water Feature Designer’s Handbook, which explores practical and sustainable approaches to integrating water into our urban environments.
