    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.

    Singita Sweni Lodge Review

    Location; Singita Sweni Lodge is located in the central, eastern part of the Kruger National Park positioned on the Mozambique border. This concession that you will find yourself in is steeped in history, scenic diversity as well as absolutely fantastic wildlife sightings. The general public is certainly not allowed transfers through this concession so in a nutshell, it is just you and the Singita wildlife that you will be seeing.

    Greater Kruger Family Safari
    “How many more sleeps?” this became our sons wake up call as the days neared for 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 lodges' in the greater Kruger area.

    My 4 Day Kruger Adventure
    My 4 Day Kruger Adventure was one of my travelling highlights 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

    Jamala Madikwe Review
    A review of one of our favourite lodges not only in the Madikwe Game Reserve but the whole of South Africa. Why and how (well you will have to read for more thoughts and opinions), but in a nutshell - magnificent wildlife, great food, great rooms and most importantly fantastic service.

  • Mateya Safari Lodge Review
    Written By Uyaphi.com
    Mateya Safari Lodge Review
    Mateya Safari Lodge is 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. The Lodge reflects that old world Safari experience - it is indeed more old school than new school regarding decor and feel. Located in the northern area of the Madikwe Game Reserve (which is Malaria free) this Lodge is ideally positioned regarding not only location but also the wildlife that is on its doorstep.

  • 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.
