🌍✨ Our leisure specialist Shannon Waller recently embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime Zimbabwe educational adventure! 🌅🦁

First stop: Matetsi Private Game Reserve, boasting an epic 15km of private river frontage that made for breathtaking sunset cruises. 🌇🚤

Next up, Shannon experienced the stunning Victoria Falls River Lodge, nestled right inside Zambezi National Park. After a quick 10-minute boat transfer, she stayed in one of the Island Suites, complete with a front-row seat to a pod of hippos! 🦛🏞️

After an unforgettable stay at Insika, it was off to Hwange National Park via a scenic light aircraft flight. From exhilarating game drives to tracking elephant bulls on foot, the adventure was nothing short of incredible. 🐘✈️

Last but not least, Lake Kariba! At Changa Safari Camp, Shannon enjoyed amazing views of the lake, thrilling boat safaris where she spotted hippos, crocodiles, unique bird species, and elephants. She even tried her hand at fishing and caught a descent size! 🐟🏞️

And let’s not forget the unparalleled aerial views of Lake Kariba—absolutely breathtaking! 🚁🌅

Swipe through the photos and join us in reliving Shannon’s incredible journey!

🌍✨ South Africa just got voted the friendliest nation in the world! 🎉🇿🇦

South Africa has been voted as the friendliest nation in the world, according to a new study by Remitly, a leader in digital financial services.

Remitly surveyed over 3 000 participants across the globe to answer a series of questions based on the Big 5 Personality Test.

South Africa is a beautiful and diverse country and provides plenty of compelling reasons to visit. One of the major advantages of visiting this country is the affordability where the South African rand stretches far. It also has an incredible array of wildlife to see, and a warm climate helping visitors to enjoy and explore the long stretches of beautiful coastline.

It’s not uncommon to be greeted by polite strangers while walking down the street, and South Africans are generally happy to socialise, by engaging in conversations and showing off their good humour.

So pack your bags and get ready to experience the warmest smiles and most welcoming hearts. From the vibrant streets of Cape Town to the breathtaking landscapes of the Drakensberg, South Africa is more than just a destination; it’s a feeling! 🏞️❤️

Exciting news!

As one of Rupert’s final wishes, Rupert asked that we review our brand presence, reminding us to always strive for something exciting, fresh and relevant.

We wanted to keep the iconography of our logo but make sure that our brand elements are modern and clean.

The Green Route Africa and Dragonfly Africa logo updates tie in with each other.

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting the Creative Group Leaders Circle Incentive to South Africa earlier this month. It was a privilege and an honour to be appointed the DMC of choice to handle this very prestigious program.

We had 28 delegates, and they flew straight into Cape Town and enjoyed a few nights at the wonderful Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel in Cape Town. They then enjoyed a variety of activities, including cooking in the Bo-Kaap, vintage jeep and Harley Davidson transfers, a beautiful private picnic lunch at Buffels Bay in the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, dinner at the The Bungalow Restaurant, and wine tasting at the beautiful Tokara and Boschendal Wine Estates.

We then took them on safari to the magnificent Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve, where they saw all the animals one could wish for, including a cheetah and the very elusive wild dog pack. The weather was fantastic, and the participants had a wonderful stay.

We truly believe we have some very excited ambassadors who left the country, and will spread the word about the beauty of South Africa and the amazing experiences you can have with an incentive group!

Ilyaas, our Group Sales Manager, recently attended an educational to Qwabi Private Game Reserve hosted by our friends and partners at Newmark hotels.

Qwabi Private Game Reserve, set in one of only two UNESCO-declared savannah biospheres in Africa, covers 11,000 hectares. Within this water rich ecosystem, lies Letamo Game Lodge and Babohi Game Lodge. Not only is this Big 5 country, but a bird lovers paradise.

Letamo consists of 58 rooms and is perfect for larger groups yet while still offering sufficient space to warm and cosy.

Babohi, with 25 rooms, as been masterly built into the side of a mountain koppie.
Babohi elevates the safari experience in more ways than one.

Qwabi Private Game Reserve is only a 2,5hour drive from Johannesburg and can also be access by Helicopter.

“During my recent visit to our Johannesburg office, I had the pleasure of staying at the Catalyst Hotel in Sandton, by Newmark .

I have stayed here before and absolutely love the vibe. The thing that really stands out about this hotel is the service. Impeccable attention to detail and the staff is so friendly!

The room product is great. I got upgraded to a suite with a kitchenette which made it perfect for a longer stay. I could make my coffee and have room to work in the lounge.
Wifi is complimentary and the breakfast is delicious.

Definitely one of my top choices when staying in Jozi.”

🦏✨ Happy Days! 14th Calf Born at Care for Wild 🌿🌟

Earlier this month, released orphan Meha gave birth to her first calf! Meha formed a special bond with another rhino orphan, Venus, during their early rehabilitation. The two have been inseparable since then. Most new rhino Moms isolate so that they can bond with their baby but Venus continues to stay by her best friend’s side.

Care for Wild Rhino Sanctuary is in the greater Barberton Nature Reserve in Mpumalanga, South Africa– reportedly the biggest rhino sanctuary in the world

What a blessing to witness the arrival of another precious rhino life into the world.

🌟✨ It’s that time of year again when Spier Light Art brightens up the night skies at Spier Wine Farm in Stellenbosch, South Africa. ✨🌟

Visitors can illuminate their evenings from 1 March to 1 April with 21 different light and video artworks installed across the estate.
Arrive just before the sun goes down to enjoy an outdoor feast of food and wine under the summer sky – as the stars come out, the lights turn on.

There’s a popular opinion that art holds up a mirror to society. It reflects what is happening in the world. This is certainly true of the work featured at Spier Light Art 2024.

The artists each grapple with big themes and challenges in our modern world.
Despite the weight of these ideas, the artists create in a way that invites lightness, interaction and introspection. Sometimes you will laugh, sometimes you will sigh, but you will always think and wonder.

Whichever artwork you encounter, you will hopefully be engaged and entertained in South Africa’s one-of-a-kind art experience.

Bring an open mind and comfy walking shoes – the art installations are exhibited across the farm – and let Spier Light Art 2024 add a whole lot of light to your life.
