🪘PROUD TRADITIONS AND CULTURE🪘

The next stop for Valencia Sifo and her travel group was Avani Victoria Falls Resort in Zambia. This 4-star hotel is situated close to the famous Victoria Falls. In fact, guests are just a 5-minute stroll away! Zebras, giraffes, impalas and monkeys roam the property freely.

The group was welcomed by traditional African dancers at the hotel's entrance. They were then taken on a tour of the property, where they viewed areas like the restaurant, bar, communal dining areas, swimming pool area and several room types.

They were shown to their rooms and settled in before dinner. Later, Valencia and other guests met with a traditional storyteller by a cosy fire, who also guided them through an immersive African drumming experience.

A real treat awaited Valencia that evening as she made her way to the outdoor dining area for a traditional boma dinner under the stars. Hanging fairy lights added to the magical atmosphere as guests enjoyed some Zambian cuisine. Their dinner experience was complimented with performances by traditional dancers, drummers and singers. The guests also had a moment in the spotlight while dancing "on stage" with the performers.

ZAMBIA: Top 10 Waterfalls to visit📍

Everyone knows of Victoria Falls. But did you know that there are several other magical waterfalls in Zambia? If you ever find yourself in Zambia, consider checking out these top 10 waterfalls nationwide.

💦 VICTORIA FALLS, named after Queen Victoria by Scottish missionary David Livingstone after identifying this landmark in 1855. This is one of the most sought-after travel experiences; witnessing the wonder and grandeur of the world's largest waterfall, based on its combined width.
💦 KALAMBO FALLS in the Northern Province flows into Kalambo River, which forms a natural border between Zambia and Tanzania. It's one of the highest waterfalls in Africa at 221 metres.
💦 NYAMBWEZI FALLS near Solwezi Village has historical value as it shows signs of Stone Age occupation. Near the top of the waterfall is a shelter featuring ancient engravings on the rocks.
💦 NGONYE FALLS is located near Sioma Village in Zambia's Western Province and features great volumes of falling waters. You can take a river ferry going downstream from the village and walk back via a path along the river.
💦 KUNDALILA Falls at the Koambe River is named after the "cooing" sounds that doves make. The waterfall is 70 metres high and you can swim in the natural water pool among rich plant life or view the Luangwa Valley from atop the waterfall.
💦 MUMBULUMA FALLS flows over two steps into the Mumbuluma River and is considered sacred by priests who tend a fire for protective spirits further south along the river.
💦 CHISIMBA FALLS consists of 3 successive waterfalls. Bemba people from this area see the waterfalls and cave underneath it as sacred. There is a rainforest on the west river bank and a campsite on the east.
💦 LUMANGWE FALLS is sometimes seen as a "mini Victoria Falls" due to its similar water depth and drops down for 35 metres. At the bottom is a small rainforest sustained by the water.
💦 CHIPEMBE FALLS is a smaller waterfall on the Kulungwishi River, further down from Lumangwe Falls. This area is popular among local people who fish for Bream.
💦 KABWELUMA FALLS is a series of three interconnected falls that lie downstream from Lumangwe Falls. There is a ravine forest and prehistoric art drawings on the rocks.

🪘BESTIES EXPLORE AFRICA🌍

Earlier this month four friends from Tennessee in the United States traveled to Africa to enjoy some of the best travel experiences in South Africa and Zimbabwe. Jennifer Mckissick, Vannette Myers, Shelia StClair and Sandra Barker had the time of their lives during their "girls trip" thanks to Cearl Marney, our Travel Specialist, who assisted them with accommodation, flights, transfers and fun activities.

Their trip took them to Lion Roars Kloof Street Hotel in Cape Town. They were taken on a guided tour of Robben Island, Table Mountain, Cape Peninsula and Boulders Beach. The next stop was Victoria Falls: 528 Guest House in Zimbabwe. Not only did they partake in a guided tour of Victoria Falls, but they also enjoyed a dinner cruise on the Malachite luxury boat and spent half a day in the famous Chobe National Park.

For the safari part of their holiday, the four friends arrived at Umkumbe Bush Lodge in Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve. They went on several game drives, some with sundowners, and saw various wildlife species. Before their flight home, they stayed at the Parkwood Guest Lodge in Johannesburg. A full-day Soweto tour taught them more about the country's history and they also enjoyed an African buffet lunch in the famous Vilkazi Street.

Jennifer is satisfied with their experience and left us a sterling review on SafariBookings:
"Our agent Cearl Marney did an exceptional job managing our trip. All vendors she selected provided exceptional service. We felt the pricing was of value. Cearl had everything in place when it was time to travel. I will definitely seek her services for any future travels she manages at East Cape Tours."

Vanette added: "The trip was an amazing educational experience of a lifetime! The tour guides were elated to share the history of South Africa; the authentic African food was excellent; all lodgings were 5 stars and the hospitality was EVERYTHING! I have no complaints other than messing up and allowing the monkeys to get into our tent! That was the highlight of the safari!"

🫵THIS COULD BE YOU!

📰NEWSFLASH📰 Cape Town Found to Be One of the Cheapest Holiday Destinations for British Travellers

According to the 18th annual Post Office Travel Money Holiday Money Report of 2024, British travellers will spend less money when staying in Cape Town, South Africa, than any other African country! Save for Hoi An in Vietnam, Cape Town is currently the second most affordable long-haul trip destination for Brits, followed by Mombasa in Kenya.

The recent report outlined the costs of South African products in Great British Pounds and shows the sterling's growing strength plays an important part in holiday choices for people from England. At the time of publication, Post Office Travel Money's annual Worldwide Holiday Costs Barometer indicated more than half the British population will travel abroad this year, with 60% of the holidays already booked.

A breakdown of the cost of meals, drinks and other travel items indicates that it would cost around £54.35 in Cape Town, compared to the exact same items sold in Montego Bay, Jamaica for £87.11. These items would cost Brits around £54.93 when staying in Mombasa, Kenya, which is not far from Cape Town's costs.

Here are a few individual item prices as sold in Cape Town:

🌍TOURISM SPECIALISTS CONNECT🧩

Natasha Coetzee and Maryke Low from East Cape Tours attended a very insightful and positive travel workshop event in Gqeberha yesterday. Hosted by Louisa Kilian from TravelPeople SA, the aim of Gqeberha (PE) Connection 2024 was for buyers and suppliers in the tourism sector to mingle and network. Around ten suppliers represented their services and products to the attendees and afterwards, they enjoyed a lovely lunch prepared by Boardwalk Hotel and Casino.

Tourism is all about teamwork, where multiple properties, hotel groups, tour services, airlines, transport services and agents work together to achieve a common goal: bringing more attention to South Africa as a travel destination, be it for safari holidays, seeing the beautiful Garden Route, exploring the bustling cities or experiencing the country's unique heritage and cultures. There is so much to do in South Africa; events like these strengthen the bond between stakeholders in the industry.

📰NEWSFLASH📰 Artistic Inspiration🎨 South African sculptor Anton Smit teaches youth about art

“A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself.” -Oprah Winfrey.

This quote rings true for South African sculptor, Anton Smit, who recently visited Delaire Graff Estate to inspire children with his sculpting techniques. The result was beautiful and expressive human-like faces of clay by 20 learners from the Pebbles Project.

Upon their arrival, the excited learners and Pebbles Projects CEO Sophia Warner were greeted by Smit and his team. The workshop aimed to encourage learners to set their creativity free by sculpting a face that resembles "Faith", one of Smit's life-size sculptures displayed at the estate.

The learners thoroughly enjoyed their artistic experience and brought beautiful face sculptures to life with their newfound inspiration and knowledge. After a delicious lunch, the young artists discussed their artworks and inspiration.

The workshop formed part of the ‘10 for 10’ initiative, celebrating the FACET Foundation's (For Africa’s Children Every Time) 10-year partnership with the project. FACET was established by Laurence Graff, owner of Delaire Graff Estate and provides children with services like mental health therapy and counselling.

Pebbles Project, a South African educational trust and NPO established in 2004, aims to enrich the lives of children and young adults from agricultural communities through education, health and nutrition services.

Warner says: “The art workshop was a huge opportunity for the Pebbles Project learners who spent the day creating face sculptures with wax clay under the creative eye of Anton Smit, who interacted and guided the children with kindness, passion and patience."

Smit is known for his unique sculptures around South Africa which are exhibited at several art and university museums and open-air exhibition areas across the country. Anton Smit Sculpture Park showcases some of his most awe-inspiring artworks.
