So many people contact me who want the mass media, travel books,magazine write up trips.
In so doing this, they miss the essence of South Africa, and some of the nicer scenery .
Therfore I have created a Independant travel package that meets many of those needs.
Volunteer opportunites exist as well for you to share your time and skills with others.
By Indepentant I dont mean you do this totally on your own. You will have guides, and you will have free time, however it will be designed for your travel party only, small and intimate.
This trip is best experienced with at least 14 nights available to you..
Below is a examples of this South Africa package.
On these safari's, we host your group ie we can do this with just 2 people, and even with a single, single supplemant will apply.
On this trip we journey through the many different cultures of Southern Africa, as well as experiencing the Urban/Rural contrasts, and ending of with a Wildlife Safari.
Dates are on a tailormade basis, and the places visited are also subject to change.
For eg in South Africa my favourite trip combining urban/rural,people, places, Culture and Safari.
We start of in Cape Town(Cape Coloured/Cape Malays), visit Robben Island, District 6 musuem,walk in the Bo Kaap, eat lunch in the Bo Kaap, art and craft markets, and visit Table Mountain, winelands, Cape Point beautiful scenery...
Then head to the Eastern Cape (Xhosa),seeing villages, visitng schools, meeting local folks, visit Steve Bikos home, a creche he started, NelsonMandelas birth village, the Nelson Mandela Musuem, and you can volunteer to do some service work if you wish.
We visit the urban Johannesburg , we will see Soweto, visit the Apartheid Musuem, Cradle of Mankind,Pretoria,Alexandra township, wak the buzy street of Johannesburg, eat in local restaurants, etc...we can stay in Soweto at a local B and B or in sandton where most of the tourists stay just outside of the main city of Johannesburg.
Then we head North to visit the people of Venda, arts and crafts, ie pottery, drum makers, wood workers, local markets, maybe attend a local African style spiritual servces etc.
Along the way we may stop for a night and visit a colourful Ndebele village.
Possibly adding in a visit to the Tule area of Botswana for a Safari, then finish of with a Kruger National Park Safari.
