EARLY BIRD SPECIAL $150 OFF PER PERSON BOOK BY 5/15/26
Join me for a truly special journey to my homeland—South Africa, a place that feels like a return to where it all began. Together, we’ll explore the cradle of humanity and reconnect with the beauty, rhythm, and spirit of our shared mother continent.
This experience is deeply personal to me. South Africa is my first home, and it brings me so much joy to share this extraordinary corner of the world with my adventure seeking community. I’ve thoughtfully created an itinerary that blends adventure, connection, and ease—designed to be both meaningful and deeply enjoyable within our time together.
To preserve the intimacy and magic of this safari experience, the group will be small and carefully curated. These journeys tend to fill quickly, so if this is calling to you, I would love for you to be part of it.

Cape Town and Surrounds
Our adventure starts in Cape Town, the “mother city”; the Cape of Good Hope. Cape Town is exciting, diverse and astonishingly beautiful. The professional guided walking tour will enlighten you to the history of this richly diverse and exciting city. We will take a cable car up Table Mountain for an incredible viewing and nature experience, take a boat out to Robben Island on a private VIP tour, the place where Nelson Mandela spent most of his imprisonment. There will be a visit to the vibrant V & A waterfront and time to mingle with the locals. The food throughout the city is delicious, and we will experience many different culinary delights. You will have time to relax and shop or chill, maybe take a dip in the cool waters at hip Clifton Beach. We will also spend time biking through the stunning vineyards of the famous wine region of Franschhoek, where we enjoy some fine local wine tastings. Enroute to Franschhoek, we visit the magnificent Babylonstoren Estate for a guided tour of their exquisite gardens.
Other adventures will be an optional hike up Lion’s Head, a visit to the quaint seaside village of Simons Town, and a visit to Cape Point, a hike along famous Pipe track to Camps bay. Our accommodations are at the lovely La Splendida boutique hotel on the Cape Town Sea Point Promenade, an excellent location, safe for exploring by foot, visiting markets and beautiful beaches. Beautiful vistas!
The Safari Adventure
We fly directly from Cape Town to Hoedspruit, very close to our safari destination, which is within the greater world famous Kruger National Game Reserve at the Motswari Lodge. Our beautiful accommodations are at a luxury private camp. This is beyond “glamping”. Air conditioning, private bathrooms, swimming pool and gorgeous common areas.
We experience 2 game drives per day in an open air land rover with highly experienced guides, on a hunt for animal viewing. The reserve has lions, elephant, cheetah, rhino, hippos, giraffe, and a population of the endangered African wild dog and of course many other species of game, in their natural habitat.
All meals are included. Sundowners are served out in the bush on the afternoon game drive. It is difficult to explain the serene tone of being in the bush, contrasted with the excitement and vibrant feeling of aliveness by being so incredibly close to nature at her finest. For most, this is an experience of a lifetime!
