JAGUAR LAND ROVER EXPERIENCE
Jaguar Land Rover caters to its youngest fans with a selection of fun-filled activities including the Little Growlers track where kids up to 3 can drive (or be driven by remote control) in miniature electric F-TYPE sportscars. There’s also a pair of scalesized electric Defenders which children up to 10 can practice early adventuring skills by negotiating a dedicated off-road track.
An indoor-outdoor play area offers the perfect distraction while parents enjoy grown-up activities, and features a jungle-gym, plush playground toys, games tables and soft AstroTurf ground surfaces. Child minders are on-site to look after kids from 9am to 4pm Wednesday to Thursday, and 8am to 5pm Friday to Sunday.
For the young at heart, a pair of state-of-the-art driving simulators afford would-be racing drivers access to high-performance Jaguars on a selection of global race tracks where it’s possible to explore the absolute limit safely in digital format. There’s no better way to experience the exhilaration of a Jaguar or Land Rover than getting behind the wheel yourself. The full range of vehicle models is available for an array of driving courses all hosted by a team of skilled instructors from Tuesday to Sunday.
Jaguar experiences cover a range of driving disciplines from defensive driving, handling, skid control, slaloms and cornering. An irrigated 70-metre diameter Dynamic Steering Circle (skidpan) is on site for low-traction handling exercises, while a 185-metre long and 30-metre wide Dynamic Handling Platform will allow drivers to stretch the legs of various vehicles at higher speeds. If you’re pressed for time, a 90-minute taster experience is ideal to whet your appetite. If you’re looking to make a day of it, a choice of half- and full-day experiences will have your pulse racing at every chicane, cone and turn.
Adventurous types can sample what Land Rovers are truly capable of on a variety of dedicated tracks and trails. These include the Kingsley Holgate Expedition Trail (3km of trail named as an homage to the longtime Land Rover friend and global ambassador Kingsley Holgate) or the Adventure park which features a number of man-made obstacles adjacent to the facility itself and in full view of visitors gasping in awe of Land Rovers and Range Rovers in extreme situations. Depending on the package, drivers will be exposed to different disciplines including dynamic handling, vehicle recovery and off-road driving to name a few.
The Experience facility is home to a delicious café style restaurant located on the upper deck looking over the Jukskei Valley with a view that also includes action on the Dynamic Handling Platform and Adventure Park. TLC on the Track, as it’s called, caters to all tastes with a full menu from breakfast to early dinner, with meals ranging from healthy and light to hearty and wholesome. A dedicated childrens’ play area is in-view of restaurant-goers, and the restaurant is open to the public every day from 8am to 5pm. A stop at TLC’s specialty coffee bar is a must for all visitors, and its spacious seating offers the perfect setting for casual luncheon meetings any day of the week.
FOR YOUR BUSINESS
Three boardrooms cater for groups of between six and 70 guests. With a range of seating options, any conference room can be configured to suit many meeting styles and sizes. A state-of-the-art 52-seat cinema makes an ideal venue for more audio-visualheavy presentations or launches.
To accompany conferencing, Experience offers off-the-shelf or tailor-made events packages for team building and corporate days. An in-house team of experts is always on hand to assist with arrangements.

IMMUNE SUPPORT:
A FOURFACTOR APPROACH
By Nikki Temkin
Functional Health and Wellness Coach Nikki Temkin shares tips and advice for how you can support your immune system by focusing on four key aspects: supplementation, nutrition, stress management and sleep.
Protecting and boosting immune health has been more important than ever over the past few months, and will no doubt continue to be a priority for us all for some time to come.
While it’s true that you can’t control the trajectory of a virus, you can take steps to control your internal environment through what you choose to put into your body, what you expose yourself to, and the lifestyle you lead.
Strengthening immunity requires a multifaceted approach that will improve its response and reduce your susceptibility to illness.
VITAMINS & SUPPLEMENTS
Even with a healthy, well-balanced diet, supplements are still recommended for maximum support. The following are suggested for immune support:
Vitamin C
Contributes to immune defence by supporting various cellular functions of the immune system
Vitamin D
Reduces viral growth and helps to prevent upper respiratory infections
For maximum absorption, take with a large meal, and increase the dosage in winter when there is less sunlight.
Vitamin A
Acts as an anti-inflammatory, helps to enhance immune function, and supports the lining of the respiratory tract
Vitamin A also protects the integrity of the body’s mucus membranes (such as those in the gut and lungs), making it harder for infections to take hold.
Zinc
Possesses strong antiviral properties For maximum efficacy, take after a large meal
N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)
Promotes the production of glutathione, a potent antioxidant that supports immune function
Probiotics & Prebiotics
Create a healthy gut microbiome that supports and stimulates the immune system.
Elderberry Extract
Packed with vitamin C, dietary fibre and antioxidants
Elderberry is most effective when used preventatively. Try to find an extract that has been produced through ultra-filtration.
Curcumin
A set of flavonoids found in turmeric that can help to reduce inflammation and decrease viral activity
Melatonin
Made by the pineal gland at the base of the brain, this hormone supports antiviral immunity, promotes restful sleep and reduces inflammation. You will need a prescription for this!
Medicinal Mushrooms
Medicinal mushrooms support the immune system thanks to their antioxidant, antiinflammatory and antiviral properties. Try turkey tail and reishi for protection against infection.
Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG)
This compound is present in high quantities in green tea, and helps to reduce inflammation and enhance immune functionality.
Liquorice Root
This is one of the fundamental herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and works to reduce viral growth.
Resveratrol
A polyphenol found in red grapes that can help to decrease inflammation
Beta-Glucans
Beta-glucans are anti-inflammatory, and help to enhance immune function. They are especially beneficial for those with viral upper respiratory tract infections
You can also try:
*Omega 3 *Glutathione *Alpha-lipoic acid *Echinacea *Astralagus
Note:
It is important to consult your doctor or healthcare provider before taking any kind of vitamin, mineral, mushroom or supplement.
The appropriate dosage will be different for everyone, and is affected by factors such as gender, weight, pre-existing conditions, pregnancy and any medication that you may be taking (such as birth control, antidepressants, antibiotics, etc.). Be sure to contact your healthcare provider to find out exactly what dosage you should be taking.

Love The Home You’re In This Winter
With winter creeping in, there’s never been a better time to make some changes to your home décor, flooring and taps. As many of us have and will still be spending more time in their homes than ever before, it makes sense to want a space that works for the whole family. Embrace the latest trends in tiles, taps and bathroom from Tile Africa and love the home you’re in, all over again!
Tiles are an excellent choice for flooring, as they are low maintenance and easy to clean, making it an ideal choice for the busy family home. Whether you like a matt or glossy finish, ceramic, hardbody or porcelain tile, the latest trend is to go big with your tiles. In fact, with the newest designs you can go big and take them home. LIFESTYLE Make a big statement on walls and floors in your home this Winter, with trend-forward XL and XXL tiles - the look is majestic! With fewer grout lines interrupting the flow through the room, you can create a more spacious look and feel. From classic marble through to wood and stone-look patterns in a variety of tile sizes, finishes and décor, you’re sure to find the one that’s perfect for your home. We love the Signature Tile Collection, a 600x1200mm hardbody tile in grey.
Love your patio from inside to out
Take the modern seamless look further by using the same tile in different sizes, or finishes from indoor to outdoor, to bring the space together as a cohesive whole. Play with matching décor to add your own individual style to the design.
Outdoor tiled areas can be slippery if they are wet from early morning dew, frost or rain, as well when the kids are in and out of the home with wet feet from playing in a pool or running through a sprinkler on a summer’s day. Selecting an outdoor tile with a slip-resistant finish is a must-have, as this helps make your home safer for family and friends, whatever the season.
For those that love the fact that nature’s palette isn’t uniform, and that there are no straight lines in nature, will adore the latest extruded tiles which are created with colour and size variations as a theme, to best mimic nature. Embrace biophilic design and include nature’s beautiful variations in your home this winter. Our top choice is the Satara Slate Hardbody Hardbody tile Collection. Available in a 350x350mm floor tile, in a matt or slip-resistant finish and a matching ceramic mosaic.
Taps are usually available in timeless chrome, a classic metal finish that is perfect for a contemporary look to your bathroom or kitchen. It also never goes out of style, it’s easy to clean and looks great with any design and colour palette.
However, the latest trend in tapware is bold black. Black taps look sleek and sophisticated and can be paired with a variety of colour and design schemes. The black finish is the perfect choice for monochrome or industrial spaces, and complements wood-look patterns very well. Create a seamless look for your bathroom with a matching black basin, bath and shower mixers, shower head, drain, shower enclosure etc.
We recommend the latest arrival in store, the EVOX Serio Black delivers a full range of basin, bath and shower mixers in matt black.

Tile Africa recently introduced the VitrA range of vanities to the local market. This range is not only stylish but offers VitrA Hygiene, a unique glazing process that helps prevents germ multiplication. Find VitrA Mia cabinets, vanities and mirrors at Tile Africa in white, Cordoba and Anthracite.
