Botswana & Cape

Set to the northeast of South Africa, Johannesburg is the great commercial heart of the country and the main transport hub, a sprawling mess of a place, scarred through its heart by the gold mines. It is not somewhere safari travellers tend to linger too long, although the Cradle of Mankind may be worth a visit.

Set in the north of Botswana, Moremi Central is the core national park sector of the Okavango Delta, a very rich wildlife area, with guest accommodation in a handful of very high quality camps and offering a limited range of wet and dry safari activities.

Set in the north of Botswana, the Duba Plains Concession is a remote private sector of the Okavango Delta, with guest accommodation in a couple of extremely high quality camps and offering a good range of wet and dry safari activities.

Set in the north of Botswana, Linyanti Selinda is a prime private safari area, with guest accommodation in a handful of extremely high quality camps and offering a wide range of wet and dry safari activities. Strong wildlife and extraordinarily elegant hospitality.

Set in the north of Botswana, Makgadikgadi is a vast and hypnotic open grassland, centred on a network of epic salt pans and dotted with isolated islands of palm and baobab trees. Guest accommodation is in a really interesting range of a dozen camps, offering a wide range of unusual safari activities, including habituated meerkats, Bushmen interaction, palaeontology and quad-biking.

Set in the Western Cape of South Africa, Cape Town is a fabulous, fascinating city, tucked in the folds of a very beautiful national park, where you are never short of a view and never more than a short walk away from an epic hiking trail. There's so much to see and do that a few nights will only enable you to scratch the surface.

Set on the Whale Coast, De Hoop is a lovely coastal nature reserve, a real hidden gem, containing fabulous white dunes, swimmable rock pools, shore-based whale-watching (Jun-Oct), fascinating endemic fynbos flora and fauna, plus a good range of larger mammals, notably including baboons, bonteboks and caracals. There are a handful of good accommodation options.

Set in the heart of the Cape Winelands, Franschhoek is a beautiful and relaxed village and a very popular place for our guests to stay, with a wealth of high class wineries, restaurants and hotels, plus options for shopping, mountain hiking and biking.
