Addo Elephant National Park We have both been brought up to appreciate “the bush” in South Africa. In 2016 we realised that although we had both been to game parks and wild reserves we had never been as a couple. The Easter long weekend of our first wedding anniversary felt like the perfect time! We packed our bakkie withcamping gear and…
In the December holidays we enjoyed a romantic weekend away at a honeymoon B&B in Plett. We woke up every morning to private, panoramic views over Plettenberg Bay’s lagoon and beachfront. What more could we ask for? We love finding secret spots in the Garden Route, especially those we feel passionate enough about to recommend onto others. This route in…
Just North of Graskop you will find Lisbon Falls, Panorama Route. This is one of the major natural attractions along this well known South African route in Mpumalanga.

Is there anything more romantic than a wild getaway? Our ‘Big Five’ Safari Getaway at Aquila Game Reserve was such a spoil – filled with close wildlife sightings, relaxing spa treatments and lazy pool chair reading. Although only 2 hours away from the city of Cape Town, Aquila still has an “in the middle of nowhere” feel to it. Set…
A luxury ‘Big Five’ safari at Inverdoorn at their Private Game Reserve in the Klein Karoo, just 2,5 hours from Cape Town. The Karoo is already one of our favourite places in South Africa, so adding in some wildlife at Inverdoorn Safari is just the cherry on top for us. Inverdoorn is 60 kms outside of Ceres and right in…
We recently spent the Easter weekend in Stillbaai – and all the seaside bliss has left us wanting more!! Here is our guide on what to do and see in Stillbaai.

Welcome to the Arabella Hotel and Spa – our romantic hotel stay outside Hermanus. “I woke up to the sound of a door creaking open as Rudolph slid out of bed and stepped out onto the balcony.
