Picture yourself having a sun downer overlooking the Sabie River as the wildlife comes down to drink at sunset. I couldn't think of a better place to relax."

It has everything to offer from true African safaris with the Africa 'BIG 5', brilliant beaches & rugged coastlines, stunning landscapes and has the most diverse culture and history imaginable."

Favourite Southern African Destination: "Without doubt, it would be the Okavango Delta in Botswana. A wilderness ‘wonderland’ – the excursions on the mokoro dug out boats bring one very close to nature: no sounds other than the singing for birds and the gentle lull of the water…allowing one to get rather close to game drinking along the river banks (and the hippos en route !!!)"
Why choose Southern Africa as your next holiday destination: "Southern Africa is a magical region…visit us once, and you will just want to keep coming back !! Our people, landscapes, game viewing, arts, history, cuisine (and wines !!) reach out, inviting you to share with us the pulsating rhythm of AFRICA!"

South Africa with its many different cultures, wildlife and plant life, wine routes and the beautiful landscapes gives visitors an unbelievable and unforgettable experience. There is something for everyone to do from cosmopolitan cities to the rustic ‘wild’.

Tanzania is a third world country once there it’s like you’ve gone back in time. The culture of the Maasai People, endless coffee plantations, the Crater and the wildlife is amazing. The movie out of Africa will always bring back fond memories.

Namibia a 3 in 1 country. The Desert with its amazing Sand dunes, the sea and then Etosha filled with abundant wild life. Namibia has a lot of History and also very well known for all its ship wrecks which makes for lots of interesting stories.

Mozambique has come along way and has some of the best Islands with clear white beaches and serene settings. Snorkelling, fishing and collecting pansy shells and ending the day with a sundowner cruise is what any one needs to get away from the busy city life. Whether in Zambia or Zimbabwe the Victoria Falls is an awesome sight to see.

Botswana is well known for its wildlife and the delta and has something different to offer travelers. If you are looking for sun, sand and sea then the Indian Ocean Islands are the way to go. Mauritius with it friendly locals and quality service and Seychelles with its beautiful beaches makes this an ideal relaxing getaway.
