We moved from Johannesburg to Knysna just over a year ago.

Apart from the change of climate, scenery and available hiking trails, the big difference that we found was the air quality.

There’s an App called AirVisual that shows the Air Quality Index of any place in the world based on a scale of 0 (zero polution) to 500 (you’re all dead).

Here’s what we often see in Knysna

And here’s why we are happy to have left Johannesburg –

Knysna usually sits around 10 or less, whilst Jo’burg runs from 30 odd to 180!

It’s a bonus that we never expected.
