“Safari” – the Masai word for
journey – is the perfect description of
these exciting adventures. Africa, famous for
its game in the beautiful national parks of the
Serengeti or on the plains of the Masai Mara in
Kenya under the snow-capped Kilamanjaro, is an
experience never to be forgotten. Stay in a luxurious
tent or in a typical game lodge beside one of
the watering holes and watch quietly as the animals
come to drink and bathe.
A typical safari day: 6am-6.30am – depart
on a morning games after early tea /coffee. 9am-10am
– return to the lodge for a buffet breakfast.
Morning at leisure to relax by the pool or read.
Buffet style lunch. 3pm-4pm – set off for
a second game drive. This is the best time to
see wildlife on the move after the midday heat.
Explore South Africa and enjoy pristine beaches,
spectacular mountains, fabulous cuisine and unique
history. Not forgetting of course the wines and
vineyards, which arguably rival any in Europe.
The Blue train offers an alternative to driving
and has the reputation as one of the world’s
pre-eminent travelling experiences.
Driving tips: As in the UK you drive on the left,
there is an excellent network of roads and some
highways have tolls but costs are minimal. Remember
petrol stations DON’T accept credit cards!
A UK Licence is accepted and roads are strictly
patrolled even in the game reserve areas.
Built within a sprawling savannah, Sun City is
a purpose built entertainment resort that sets
out to dazzle. World class casino’s, excellent
restaurants, calm relaxing poolsides and first
class golf courses makes this an ideal resort.
It overlooks a beautiful valley with mountains
rising in the distance, lush filled gardens fill
the resort and the wildlife is fantastic.
 Beneath
the towering table mountain lies the first city
of Old South Africa. It has had a turbulent and
chequered past but it is now best known for its
peaceful charm, friendly people and stunning landscapes.
The city has a reputation of being the most laid
back city in the Southern hemisphere, with Capetonians
adhering to “African time,” which
is considerably slower than most other major cities.
Take the revolving cable car to the top of Table
Mountain, at 1086 meters above sea level, there
are dramatic views of the whole of the Cape Peninsula.
In the city itself are numerous sites and places
of interest including the elaborate Victorian
monuments, fascinating museums, bustling and colourful
street markets and of course wonderful shops.
Jambo! Kenya’s tropical coast boasts over
300 miles of beaches lapped by the shallow warm
waters of the Indian Ocean. You can easily combine
a stay at the coast with a safari to see the amazing
wildlife or just relax and enjoy exploring the
underwater marine world of the reefs that lie
off its shores.
 Morocco
revels in spectacular diversity, stretching from
the south coast to the very edge of the Sahara
and north to the foothills of the Atlas Mountains.
The Berbers settled in Morocco thousands of years
ago and even the Romans did little to upset their
lives. Marrakech is indefinably romantic and wonderfully
exotic and it has been wooing foreign visitors
to Morocco for centuries. One of the leading hotels
in the world is La Mamounia located within minutes
of the old city; this hotel was built in 1923
as a palatial residence in Moroccan art deco style.
Its stunning backdrop is the ancient city’s
12th Century red ochre walls and the snow capped
Atlas Mountains.
