The Bushcamp Company operates 6 exclusive camps in the remote south of the iconic South Luangwa National Park in Zambia, including the award winning Mfuwe Lodge, Directors House and Kukaya. Set out on foot from any of these secluded, intimate camps for a guaranteed and unrivalled wildlife experience in one of the last unspoilt wilderness regions of Africa – the very place where the African walking safari was pioneered.

Bites Beach Café by Morukuru Family De Hoop injected new life into “Koppie Alleen”, a remote, beautiful and historic thatched fisherman’s cottage situated on rocks, next to sand dunes with views of the magnificent shoreline of the untamed De Hoop Nature Reserve. The reserve is situated near Cape Agulhas in the Western Cape of South Africa, just 3 hours from Cape Town.
The position of the café offers a ringside seat for land-based whale watching, when the Southern Right whales migrate to the De Hoop waters to calve between July and the end of October. A fireplace takes the chill off those winter months, and, in summer, the outdoor seating offers visitors the perfect arena from which to take in and soak up the remarkable wildlife, views and sun.
With a casual daytime menu of fresh fish, wood-fired pizzas and burgers, Bites is open to walkers and day visitors to De Hoop Nature Reserve for lunch and coffee (as well as Morukuru Family De Hoop residents) whilst in the evening it is exclusively for Morukuru Family guests, either from Beach Lodge or Ocean House, when the menu will offer African-themed fine dining featuring South African dishes with a twist. It will also be used for sundowners, breakfasts and special occasions for Morukuru Family guests.
With a position and view that you would find hard to beat anywhere in the world, it is a must if you are lucky enough to be visiting De Hoop in the future.

The Indian Ocean island country of Madagascar is home to about 100 different lemur species each one as unique as the other. With their pointy noses, big ears and long fluffy tails, they are different from monkeys or apes and are in fact prosimians.
The name Lemur is actually Latin for “spirits of the night” which is quite lovely to imagine. They range in size with the smallest subspecies weighing around 30 grams and the largest around 7 kilograms.
Masoala Forest Lodge is located in a very special part of Madagascar, it provides the perfect opportunity to explore and discover lemurs in their natural habitat. The lodge is only accessible by boat and is an immersive journey to experience the islands amazing wildlife, but in this case, especially the lemurs.
It is surrounded by Madagascar’s largest remaining intact rainforest and largest national park. The exceptional biodiversity and endemism make it home to flagship charismatic species like the Red Ruffed Lemur and White-fronted Lemur, found nowhere else on the island. Pristine private beaches merge into the rainforest that often comes down to meet the sea. This is the perfect place to immerse yourself in nature and enjoy a unique stay in a very special place.
Get in touch to find out how we can include a stay at Masoala in your Southern and East African travels.
