The largest cultural extravaganza in Africa, this annual extravaganza transforms the ordinarily quiet streets of Grahamstown into a colorful hub of activity, attracting local and international stars alike. In addition to performances, every park or sports field becomes a flea market or a venue for over 600 different acts, ranging from music to stand-up comedy and everything in between! |

Africa has a Safari for everyone. Take a look! |
Tsavo East and West National Parks are perfect for Couples |
The Tsavo East National Park is one of Kenya’s largest and oldest parks with an area of over 13,000 square kilometers. A wide variety of wildlife can be seen in the Tsavo, from the “Big Five” to smaller mammals and many African birds. Aside from the rich biodiversity, prepare yourself for the most stunning sunsets and night skies you have ever seen. Whenever you aren’t on a thrilling safari with your lover, you can relax in the pool overlooking the pridelands. |
Rhino Tracking in Damaraland, Namibia is perfect for Thrill Seekers |
The experience of seeing a rhino on foot and in the wild is on the bucket lists of more and more travelers. In north-west Namibia, Daraland’s Desert Rhino Camp offers rhino tracking in the largest free-roaming black rhino population in Africa. It works closely with the Save the Rhino Trust, which has been single-handedly responsible for the preservation of desert-adapted black rhinoceros in the area. Tracking excursions can either be done on foot or in an open safari vehicle with a ranger nearby at all times. You might also get a chance to see the African wild horse as well. |
Botswana is ideal for Family Safaris |
A family safari adventure starts on the banks of Boteti River, where you experience the magnificent wilderness of Botswana. Enjoy morning, afternoon, and night game drives, as well as cultural excursions and water-based activities. Each camp provides a new environment and an opportunity to learn about vegetation, different cultures, types of birds, and fun facts about wildlife. The Savute region of Botswana offers water-based game viewing on the Chobe River. Here you can show your children how to fish and watch them reel in their first catch. |
