Southern Africa
Big wildlife. Big landscapes. And a little rugby along the way.
More than pins on a map.
South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana brought together cities, safari, Victoria Falls and Chobe. Cape Town and Johannesburg were part of the journey, with wildlife and rugby among the experiences. It’s the kind of travel that asks you to think beyond a single hotel and an airport transfer.
These are places and experiences from our founder’s travel history. They aren’t a fixed tour, and they don’t all necessarily belong to one journey.
The bits that make
the journey.
Safari & wildlife
Time for wildlife was central to the journey, including seeing the Big Five.
Victoria Falls & Chobe
Two very different settings within a wider Southern Africa adventure.
Cape Town & Johannesburg
City experiences alongside the wildlife-focused parts of the trip.
Rugby
A personal interest that belongs in the itinerary, not on the sidelines.
Good journeys
need good joins.
That’s our bit.
Flights, stays, trains, transfers and the time to actually enjoy being there.
Real travels.

The homework
worth doing.
Planning lessons drawn from journeys like these — without pretending your trip should be identical to ours.
Plan the joins first
City stays, safari bases and cross-border stops need to make sense together. We consider the complete transfer, not just a flight time.
Let the experience set the pace
Safari and city days have different rhythms. We build room around the activities rather than filling every gap.
Make it personal
Rugby, food or a particular wildlife interest can shape the journey as much as the headline sights.
These stories draw on our founder’s firsthand travels. Your itinerary is researched for your own dates and needs, with current details checked during planning. Destination photography is credited separately.
