This Testimonial Tuesday....Liesl is the mother hen of the office, making sure that everyone is well looked after and in top form and the same goes for her clients.
Expect enthusiasm and attention to detail when you deal with her. You will find someone who not only cares about where you spend your time, but who makes sure that you get the most out of your trip at your comfort level.
When Liesl is not crafting magical journeys, she is off to see an exotic African destination or on safari herself with her teenage children!
If you would like Liesl to help plan your safari, say [email protected] or send us a message here. We’ve love to hear from you!

Such an inspiring conservation story!
Guests have the opportunity to support this conservation effort by visiting the Sabi Sand Canine Unit for an interactive session where they can meet the team and participate in an actual tracking exercise with a dog and handler.
If you choose a Singita lodge in the Sabi Sands for your safari, you can include this experience.

Botswana is a hot destination - and we don’t just mean in a cool way. It can get really hot especially in October - December. All camps have fans in the rooms, but only a few have air-conditioning - a real stretch for most remote camps as many run on solar power! And so we’ve compiled a list of camps that offer blissful air-con or the ‘evening breeze’ system.

WATCH TILL END! Would you cross an ice cold river first thing in the morning? This lioness and her 3 cubs are on a mission! It’s sunrise at MalaMala and the Ntsevu female is leading her boisterous cubs to a recent kill. She’s patient but determined and has a no-nonsense way about her. The little ones bumble along, getting distracted by each other and smells in the bush, but in the end they’ll follow mom wherever she goes. Even if it means going ‘cold water swimming’ on a chilly winter morning in the Mala Mala game reserve.
Completely unperturbed by the vehicles following them! That is the beauty of a safari at Mala Mala. The lions and leopards are so relaxed, totally ignoring us humans who are photographing and videoing their every move.

****INSIDER SECRET****
Ask the locals and they’ll tell you the best time to experience the Cape is in April / May when days are wind-free, the weather is balmy, every sunset is magnificent and the crowds are non-existent. They’ll also tell you anytime is a good time to visit Cape Town which is also true ; ), so no matter when you’re planning your safari, be sure to kick it off with a trip that takes in the diverse delights of the Mother City!

A happy client had this to say this Testimonial Tuesday.
"I have just returned from a 2-week trip through Cape Town, De Hoep Nature Reserve, Stellenbosch and Sabi Sands for safari. With a group of 10 friends. Everything was out of sight! The hotels fantastic, the game viewing extraordinary, and service at the properties excellent. Most importantly, all of the pre-trip planning was handled professionally and promptly by Lise Kargaard, my contact at Southern Destinations. She is lighting quick on responding to any questions regarding logistics, pricing, lodging recommendations, etc. I can't recommend her highly enough. For many on this trip this was their first time to South Africa and to a person, everyone was enchanted! We'll be back! "
