10 Reasons To Visit Laikipia Plateau

The Laikipia Plateau is Kenya's answer for travellers who've done the Masai Mara and want something wilder: two million acres of private conservancies where walking safaris, horseback rides and night drives replace the vehicle queues, and Big Five sightings come alongside rarities like Grevy's zebra and African wild dogs. From the intimacy of Lewa Safari Camp to sleeping under open skies at Elewana Loisaba Star Beds, Uyaphi.com has been building tailor-made Laikipia itineraries since 1999 — matching the right conservancy to the right traveller, every time.

5 Best Lodges in Etosha National Park

Etosha's finest lodges sit just outside the park, on the private reserves fringing its eastern and southern boundaries. This guide covers our six favourites — from ultra-luxurious Onguma Camp Kala and exclusive Little Ongava to the value-led Etosha Oberland Lodge — with accommodation, activities and who each suits, plus sample combinations, how many nights to plan and a practical FAQ.

10 Must-See Attractions in Cape Town

Cape Town is a destination that effortlessly blends stunning natural landscapes with a vibrant cultural scene. From the towering grandeur of Table Mountain to the colorful charm of Bo-Kaap, there's something to captivate every traveler. Whether you're drawn to its iconic beaches, thriving art scene, or legendary vineyards, Cape Town promises an adventure like no other. If you've been dreaming of an unforgettable getaway, this guide is for you. We'll walk you through ten of Cape Town's must-see attractions, from immersive nature experiences to photo-worthy landmarks and rich historical sites.

The Perfect Zimbabwe Honeymoon

Most honeymoons are an exercise in doing very little at considerable expense, and there is a great deal to be said for that. Zimbabwe simply arranges better company for it. Elephants come down to drink below the deck while you are still on your first coffee; the guide turns out to know which lion crossed the airstrip in the night; dinner happens on a Zambezi deck while the light goes orange and then goes altogether. Nobody puts Zimbabwe at the top of the shortlist — Kenya and the Cape get there first — which is precisely why the lodges are quieter and the guiding is better than it needs to be.

The Perfect Kruger National Park Honeymoon Safari

Embarking on the perfect Kruger National Park honeymoon safari offers an unparalleled blend of thrilling wildlife encounters and luxurious romantic escapes in one of Africa’s most iconic wilderness destinations. The Greater Kruger area, encompassing both the national park and its adjoining private reserves like Sabi Sand and Timbavati, provides newlyweds with exclusive access to the Big Five, rare wildlife sightings, and world-class cuisine paired with rejuvenating spa treatments. Beyond the captivating game drives and wildlife, Kruger seamlessly integrates with other South African highlights to create a truly bespoke honeymoon journey. Many couples combine their safari with cosmopolitan stays in Cape Town, exploring Table Mountain and the Winelands, or extend their trip to the breathtaking Victoria Falls or pristine beaches of Mozambique.
