This gorgeous lodge, situated in Kariega Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape, boasts 10 luxury suites each with a private plunge pool and deck offering panoramic views of the valley. This is a great hideaway for a romantic retreat - a true spoil. There is wildlife galore - we had incredible elephant sightings during our stay!

Safaris are often paired with cultural experiences, allowing you to learn about local tribes and their traditions. Meeting indigenous communities, such as the Maasai in Kenya or the San people in Botswana, provides an enriching way to understand the diverse cultures of Africa.

Situated on the banks of the tidal Touw river, surrounded by the Garden Route National Park, Moontide is both a romantic retreat and the perfect base from which to explore the region. The lodge is rich in hostory - it was one of the first residences to be built in Wilderness in the 1920's! We love the charm of the individually decorated rooms and the gorgeous views over the river.

This little jewel is situated a stone's throw from the gorgeous Robberg Beach in Plettenberg Bay. The rooms are beautifully appointed and the breakfast (as well as the views) are simply divine.

Africa is home to the world’s most iconic wildlife, including the "Big Five" (lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinos). Watching these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will create lasting memories.

Beach bliss! Gugulesiswe Camp is located within the iSimangaliso Wetland Park. Instead of focusing solely on wildlife and conservation, at Gugs they embrace a broader view. They believe in community growth alongside nature, not just in Africa but everywhere, from New York's streets to Maputaland's coasts.

Meals are lovingly prepared by a chef native to Maputaland who has dedicated her life to the culinary arts. The flavours of the region’s cuisine include staples like maize, wild date palm, and peanuts and the fresh bounty of the sea and lake system where we buy our fish catch.

There is communal plunge pool to cool off in as well as a health spa offering massages. There will be some time to relax too so bring along that book to read by the pool!

The absolute highlight - sea turtles nest along this coast during the summer months! Watch the females lay their eggs or later, the hatchlings race to the ocean. It is such a humbling sight!

Oh how I love the unique accommodation at this camp! There are five wooden chalets on stilts which are at eye-level with the trees. Each safari chalet has tented sides, giving it that iconic bushveld look and feel. Guests can experience elevated views of the Klaserie from their private wooden balconies, extending all the way to the Drakensberg mountains.

Elephants love visiting the splash pool by the main reception area - it's so special to see them up close!

Emily Moon River Lodge

Wow - this place is truly magical. The lodge is perched on the banks of the beautiful Bitou River, Plettenberg Bay. What we love is the attention to detail and each suite is uniquely decorated with artefacts collected by the owners from around the world. Never have you had breakfast like they serve here! This is a great couple's escape or even for a girls' getaway trip.

This is our favourite camp within the Kruger National Park. The camp consists of permanent tents that have all the basics you need for a comfortable stay. The magical thing about this camp is that every tent is on the boundary - so each tent overlooks the dry riverbed which is frequented by elephant, buffalo and antelopes. At night is when the real magic happens though - the local honey badgers and small spotted genets come out! The honey badgers are very naughty because they raid the bins - so it's important to remember never to feed wild animals. It's very special to see these nocturnal creatures up-close.
