We would recommend flying into either Cape Town (CPT) or Johannesburg (JNB), and flying out of Johannesburg (JNB) at the end of our trip. Both are international airports, well served by flights from Europe or the USA.

Up north on our safari, temperatures range between 60F to 85F (15C to 30C). Layers are the best way to dress. 

You’ll receive more info from us closer to the time, such as a suggested packing list.

We have chosen an intimate safari lodge for our adventure in the South African bush.

Our very own private camp, with all the comforts of luxury, in an authentic setting. Guided by an experienced ranger on our private safari game drives, we will be thrilled by the diverse wildlife and the sights and sounds of Africa. 

After an exciting day of game viewing, we’ll retreat to our luxury lodge to recount our tales over a gourmet feast! Regenerate the soul as you tune into nature and gaze at the endless African night skies.

Our spectacular adventure will focus on South Africa, with the added bonus of daily wellness activities (yoga, walks, kayaks) for those who want to breathe, stretch, and R-O-A-R !! 

Join in on the activities, or simply relax in our stunning surroundings and enjoy the excitement and beauty of Mother Africa.
