South Africa

We highly recommend South Africa as a safari destination. Not only is it home to Southern Africa's most diverse wilderness area - the Kruger National Park - but there are also a wealth of alternative safari destinations to choose from. 


The most popular South Africa safari areas include the Kruger National Park and the private game reserves which form part of it, like the Sabi Sand, Kapama and the Timbavati. The Eastern Cape also offers exceptional safaris at both the Addo Elephant National Park and Shamwari Private Game Reserve. The densely wooded Zululand can be experienced on safaris in Hluhluwe and Phinda. The malaria-free areas of northern South Africa, like Madikwe and Kgalagadi, have also become increasingly popular safari destinations in recent years. 


Or visit Cape Town, a coming together of cultures, cuisines and landscapes, there is nowhere quite like Cape Town, a singularly beautiful city and crowned by the magnificent Table Mountain National Park. A perfect starting point for a unique tour of South Africa's famous winelands.

Morukuru Owner's House

Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa

​

Tucked under the leafy canopy of an ancient Morukuru tree (Tamboti tree), on the banks of the Marico River, lies this perfectly decadent, ultra luxurious home away from home.

 

Owner’s House was built by the owners as their own private retreat, with two huge en-suite bedrooms and a choice of shared spaces. Nestled in between the Morukuru trees, surrounded by decks and balconies, Owner’s House offers plenty of peaceful nooks to hide off alone, or to gather for wonderful al fresco meals. Whether reclining together by your infinity pool or alone in your private elevated sala, the combination of dappled shade and the sound of nature is deeply restorative.

Dulini Lodge

Beneath the shade of ancient Ebony and Leadwood trees, the tranquil haven of Dulini is enigmatically embraced by its rich riverine setting. There is a restorative quality to the peaceful atmosphere of the camp, on the banks of the Mabrak River.

The lodge, resplendent with deep couches and contemporary African accents spills onto the cool veranda, with views to the wilderness beyond. A welcoming ambience of laid back luxury creates a place of conversation and laughter.
