    Helicopter Flight Over Cape Town
    While in Cape Town and looking for that one simply amazing 'Treat', look no further than Helicopter Flight Over Cape Town. Taking off near the V&A Waterfront and following a few flight paths, the longer the duration, the more the cost.

    Greater Kruger Family Safari

    "How many more sleeps?” this became our son's wake-up call as the days neared his first ‘safari’ to the Greater Kruger National Park.

    James and I had decided to combine a bit of family time with a quick update of the 'family friendly safari lodges' in the greater Kruger area.

    My 4 Day Kruger Adventure

    My 4-Day Kruger Adventure was one of the highlights of my travelling; having not visited the area for such a long time, the Kruger National Park was stunning.

    Leaving Cape Town and flying north to OR Tambo and then a 5-hour drive to the Kruger from where we stayed in parks board accommodation.

    Impodimo Game Lodge Review

    If you're looking for an unpretentious good quality accommodation establishment, look no further than Impodimo in The Madikwe. Coming in at the perfect price, offering all the creature comforts as well as wildlife activities could easily be associated with a property 3x the price.

    Jamala Madikwe Review

    A review of one of our favourite lodges not only in the Madikwe Game Reserve but the whole of South Africa.

    Mateya Safari Lodge Review

    One of those lodges that just blew us away. We knew that we were going somewhere special but just did not realise how extraordinary the experience would be.

    Reflecting that old-world wildlife and birdlife experience - it is indeed more old school than new school regarding decor and feels.

  • Elephant Hide Guest Lodge Review
    Written By Uyaphi.com
    Elephant Hide Guest Lodge Review
    Driving west back towards Cape Town, you will come across Elephant Hide Lodge overlooking the Knysna lagoon. A much smaller and more straightforward affair than Kurland, it also conveys a similar sense of well-being. It contains seven Afro-chic cottages each surrounded by an indigenous garden of fynbos with panoramic views of the lagoon.

  • Kurland Hotel Review
    Written By Uyaphi.com
    Kurland Hotel Review
    Travellers in the UK and Europe are very familiar with the country house hotel. Old family manor houses or estates which have either been sold or still managed by their original families and converted into luxury hotels. Some of these homes are very grand but yet always convey a feeling of wellbeing, permanence and intimacy.

  • Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift Battlefields
    Written By Uyaphi.com
    Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift Battlefields
    There are few other places on earth where you can visit a battlefield area and see exactly what the soldiers of 130 years ago observed. The now-famous battles of Rorke’s Drift and Isandlwana Battlefields are two of those places and the fact that they are located in the vast and unspoilt beauty of Zululand add to their allure.
