Cape Town a vibrant cultural capital
Frequently voted as one of the world’s top travel destinations, Cape Town is a stunningly beautiful city on the southwestern tip of the African continent. With a diverse array of sights and attractions, there’s something for everyone in the Mother City, as Cape Town locals call their hometown. From the gorgeous white sand beaches that hug the city’s mountainous coastline to the vibrant shopping mecca at the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront and the world-class wine farms in Stellenbosch and Franschoek, your time in Cape Town will undoubtedly leave you with countless fond memories.
Home to abundant species of wildlife, the Etosha National Park is an African destination like no other. Characterised by the massive Etosha salt pan, an impressive natural feature that is so large it is visible from space, the park is one of Namibia’s most famous and most popular tourist attractions. The hundreds of animal and bird species that call the Etosha National Park home tend to frequent the park’s many watering holes, thereby providing visitors with unsurpassed opportunities to view these animals in their natural habitat. As one of Southern Africa’s most accessible game reserves, you will be undoubtedly left with amazing memories and a camera full of incredible photos to show your friends and family back home.

"Exceptional Service, Patient & Problem Solver"
Jonny provides personalized service, and goes the extra mile. We travelled to CT as a group of 14 over the Easter break and he really went above and beyond to make sure our trip went smoothly...coming up with solutions when we had hiccups around visas and payments, and ensuring that we were happy. He also supported us in getting a house and organizing transport. He was patient and friendly, especially when we needed to sort out visas and payments. Thanks Jonny, and we look forward to working with you on our next trip!
