Let Me Tell You about Dawsons Game & Trout Lodge
When you travel for a living as we do (lucky, I know), you get to see hundreds of different hotels and accommodations – ranging from luxury five-star suites to charming back-packer retreats, and while many are memorable and recommendable, it is rare to come across a property that makes you say “wow”. However, during our…

Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve – Home of the Luxury Safari Holiday

WedgeView Country House and Spa – A Piece of Paradise in the Western Cape Winelands

South African Rhino Poaching – Figures reach a new high (or should that be a low) in 2012

To me, there is nothing more beautiful than seeing a pride of lions caring for their cubs, new baby Springbok finding their feet, and the sound…
