NEW DESTINATION OFFERINGS: EAST AFRICA & INDIAN OCEAN ISLANDS

We have recently expanded our offerings to include East Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands of Mauritius, Seychelles and the latest hot destination: Madagascar. East Africa is home to many incredible experiences, including the original Safari, available in Kenya and Tanzania. These  2 countries between them offer the pinnacle of Safari excellence: namely The Migration. Legendary worldwide, the massive seasonal migration of wildlife is quite something to witness. One can experience it on the mighty Serengeti Plains, Ngorongoro Crater and Masai Mara. And both of these countries have many other options to experience too.

Then there is Uganda, the Pearl of Africa where we offer exciting options such as Gorilla trekking and whitewater rafting on the mighty Nile River. Also well known for the Rwenzori Mountains or “Mountains of the Moon” and its super friendly people, Uganda is a fantastic country to visit. The wildlife reserves and the scenery speak for themselves, and there are rare birds to find, like the Shoebill Stork: you might see it only once in your life.

As for Madagascar: one could not possibly dream up a more idyllic journey than a visit to this huge island. With its palm-lined beaches, friendly locals, warm azure water, snorkeling, sea kayaking, surfing, sailing on dhows, fresh seafood and a near perfect tropical climate. And that is just the coastline. Madagascar is like a lost world, cut off from Africa hundreds of millions of years ago, it has unique animals like the Lemurs, quite astounding variety of landscapes from baobab forests to tropical jungle and even desert. And throw in the French colonial influence and one has a local cultural flavour that is quite special.

Lastly but not least: the Islands. What can we say about these? Paradise. Mauritius, legendary amongst South African families and still going strong. The ultimate one week low effort holiday getaway. There are plenty of resort options at various levels. Some have glof courses, most have Spas, all offer various watersports and all inclusive rates. Zanzibar is still brilliant, with the rare combination of perfect beaches and charming Stone Town set against a backdrop and mystery of the spice and slave trade. Seychelles is a more upmarket escape, with its many islands and low key image, there are some superb exclusive hideaways available.
