Unforgettable experiences

Going on safari in Africa is an experience on itself and the bigger portion of the travellers spend one or two nights in major cities like Capetown or Johannesburg before they fly home. These cities are great but you have to know where to go and to get the most out of it. To top up your safari, we give you some ideas to make your stay even more exiting in either the city or whilst on safari
