Nicolas and myself (James) have just returned from our twelfth Indaba.
Okay, so what is Indaba 2012 I hear ask, well it is the largest African Travel show in the world, only open to travel professionals.
This is the show where we sign up new product lines across Africa as a whole. It was very very successful so look forward to in the next few weeks and months news products going live on Uyaphi.com, we will most certainly keep you updated via the “African safari blog”.
Cheers,
James

Having just returned from Botswana on what I regard as the “Best Botswana Safari Ever“, I simply must share my experience.
Flying over on Air Botswana was fine, no delays as such. On arrival I was mesmerised with just how small a international airport can be, Maun airport is truly nothing what i expected but they say, great things come in small packages but not the case here.
On arrival my safari guide met me with a smile and really made me feel welcome. It was straight to a restaurant which is situated about 50 metres across the road from Maun airport exit. Whilst having lunch on Karibu safari which is included in all packages they run, I was told about my next 6 days itinerary which now made me very excited.

Welgelegen Boutique Hotel is conveniently located in Gardens, Cape Town. With its warm, homely atmosphere you will feel right at home in what can best be described as an urban sanctuary. Away from the main city area, the hotel is a tranquil space, where you can collect your thoughts, quietly read a book or just relax in the courtyard, listening to the calming sound of the water features.

Lions of Africa, most definitely one of the main reasons most people will go on safari. To see these animals the King (and Queen) of the African jungle in real life face-to-face is something to behold no matter where you are the matter what you are doing you will come to a dead stop and marvel at these marvellous creatures.
This gallery below is of the African lions that we at Uyaphi.com have photographed whilst out in the African Bush exploring destinations you are clients to visit.
These Lions of Africa in the above photo gallery have been photographed from South Africa, Botswana, all the way through to Zambia. Within the next couple of months we will be publishing photographs of our East African lions photographed in either Kenya and Tanzania and if you are lucky if you from Uganda as well.
Cheers,

Bartholomeus Klip Farmhouse winter package;
Bartholomeus Klip invites you and a partner to experience the peaceful life of rural South Africa and its clean crisp air, star-filled night skies with an amazing package.
A three night breakaway, for two persons sharing @ R6 040.00 all up (per couple), click here to view special and to contact us.
Pricing:
When considering three meals a day (which consists of a gourmet dinner, lavish high tea and full brunch with all the trummings you can imagine), and twice-daily game drives are all included in the price, I feel Bartholomeus Klip offers good value for money. There are also usually some fantastic winter-specials on offer, which is even more reason to book your magical little getaway.
Bartholomeus Klip Farmhouse review
The bedrooms:
In this Bartholomeus Klip Farmhouse review we viewed the four bedrooms located inside the main house, and one spacious suite situated outside which has been converted from farm outbuildings. The rooms each have their own distinctive Victorian-style and offer views onto the garden. All rooms are en-suite. The bathrooms are cosey (just the right size) complete with replica Victorian baths and basins, and are supplied with specially-made Bartholomeus Klip herbal-scented toiletries from the fynbos.

We have known about the results for quite a few months now, but at last Table Mountain has been confirmed as one of the new natural seven wonders of the world. Table Mountain is the fifth new natural wonder site to have been confirmed, along with Puerto Princesa Underground River, Iguazu Falls, Halong Bay and Jeju Island (whilst the provisional list still has The Amazon and Komodo Island to confirm).
It is such an honour for us Capetonians to have our table Mountain listed amongst such illustrious company, we are a proud little bunch I can tell you that for nothing.

Pricing; probably the most important factor when one looks at a Lodge, the price versus what you are actually getting. This is where Impodimo Game Lodge covers all the correct bases. It is without a doubt a luxurious Lodge, and from a price point comes in at a very affordable rate. The rate covers dinner, lunch and breakfast as well as 2 game drives a day – in a nutshell the same as you would get from a Lodge three times the price.

Mateya Safari Lodge is one of those lodges that simply blew us away. We knew that we were going somewhere special but simply did not realise how special the experience would be. The Lodge reflects that old world Safari experience – it is certainly more old school than new school in terms of decor and feel. Located in the northern area of the Madikwe Game Reserve (which is Malaria free) this Lodge is perfectly positioned in terms of not only location but also the wildlife that is on its doorstep.
