Happy #FunFactMonday! We are all looking for that next big adventure. The once-in-a-lifetime trip that we will crow about for years to come. What better place to start looking than the heart of Africa? Did you know the Fish River Canyon is the largest canyon in Africa, as well as the second most visited tourist attraction in Namibia. It features a gigantic ravine, in total about 160 kilometres (100 mi) long, up to 27 km wide and in places almost 550 meters deep. Let’s be honest, if we are talking adventure, the Fish River Canyon is a destination not to be missed. 😉 #funfactmonday #discoverafrica #myamazingafrica #namibia #fishrivercanyon

Happy World Gin Day!🍹 World Gin Day is a global celebration of all things gin, on the second Saturday in June every year! The idea is simple: get people together all around the world with a legitimate excuse to drink some gin, whether it’s in a cocktail, G&T or neat (yes, some people do enjoy to drink gin neat😉). We are truly spoilt for choice when it comes to good quality gin in South Africa, and many of the the local gins in our Amazing Africa support conservation efforts, such as Indlovu Gin, which is created from elephant dung. Our very own Ndhula Luxury Tented Lodge uses the Lowveld Dollies Gin, a brand that has a variety of locally produced gins that pay homage to the bold and botanical flavors of South Africa. Why not try a Gin Tasting? You are bound to find a gin that suits you and learn how various tonics and additives drastically alter the flavor! All for gin, and gin for all!😃 #worldginday #gin #ginday #cocktails #WorldGinDay2022 #myamazingafrica

We've got your weekend reading covered! 😎 Our Ryan was fortunate enough to be hosted by SATSA for a familiarisation trip to Cape Town to gain a better understanding of the sustainable adventure offerings in the area. Read our latest blog to inspire your next getaway. (Link in bio)

It's #amazingafricaactivitytipday! A Serengeti Balloon Safari is the ultimate way to experience the vastness of the Serengeti National Park according to our Karo, and we couldn't agree more! 😉 At dawn, rise as the sun greets the day and float in whichever direction the winds of the morning take you. Your pilot can precisely control the altitude of your balloon: sometimes flying at treetop height, sometimes lower. A Serengeti balloon safari is an extraordinary opportunity to relish a bird’s eye-view of the phenomenal sweeping plains below and as you get closer you are spectator to the most magnificent view of dramatically striped black and white zebra, enormous grey elephants meandering to a waterhole, and warthogs foraging in the grassy scrub. Some things are worth getting up early for and this is certainly one of them! 😍 #myamazingafrica #discoverafrica #amazingafricaactivitytipday #serengeti

Happy #hoteltiphumpday! Today we'd like to introduce you to Labotessa Luxury Boutique Hotel, nestled in the vibrant city centre of Cape Town, surrounded by the cobbled historical area of Church Square. Our Sabine, Nadine and Carmen were blown-away by this five-star Luxury Boutique Hotel immersed in the elements of the area that dates back to the 17th century. High ceilings and generous proportions set the stage for the European-inspired but globally-aesthetic Signature Suites. The rich palette of colours is both modern and timeless, inviting sophisticated elegance. This is where we'd rather be this Wednesday! 😍 #myamazingafrica #discoverafrica #hoteltiphumpday #capetown

Greetings from East Africa! 👋 Our Karo is exploring Tanzania a country full of wildlife, vast savannah landscapes, the tallest mountains in Africa, and turquoise blue waters! Tanzania has become synonymous with Serengeti, Mount Kilimanjaro, and some of the best safaris in the world, and all of that holds true. In fact, it has all of that and then some. Whether you are a wildlife photographer or just love to capture nature’s essence with your phone to share on Instagram, every place to visit in Tanzania has amazing backdrops. You will be swept off your feet constantly: This is Africa at its best. 😍 #myamazingafrica #discoverafrica #tanzania

Happy #FunFactMonday! Our Sabine recently explored Oudtshoorn, the "ostrich capital of the world", and learned that although contrary to popular belief, ostriches do not bury their heads in the sand. 😉 In fact, when an ostrich senses danger and cannot run away, it will flop to the ground and remain still, attempting to blend in with the terrain. #myamazingafrica #FunFactMonday #discoverafrica #oudtshoorn

If our Amazing Africa isn't on your bucket list yet, we recommend adding it right away. 😉 #myamazingafrica #discoverafrica #fridayfeeling

Happy #amazingafricaactivitytipday! In the spirit of "Throwback Thursday", we're taking a walk down memory lane with our Kerstin who hiked Rwanda’s lush Volcanoes National Park in search of mountain gorillas. Did you know Rwanda is home to some of the world's greatest primate tracking and over half of the world's surviving mountain gorilla population? It's no wonder that most wildlife-enthusiasts come to Rwanda to track and spend time with these critically endangered primates up-close. 🦍 #amazingafricaactivitytipday #discoverafrica #myamazingafrica #Rwandatourism #gorillatrekking

Happy #hoteltiphumpday! Today we'd like to introduce you to Manta Resort located on Pemba Island. 🏝 Folded into the edge of a lush green forest, overlooking crystal-clear turquoise waters, scattered with unspoilt coral reefs and fringed by delicate sandy white beaches, lies Manta Resort, a cherished space of timeless peace and serenity. The resort boasts a one-of-a-kind Underwater Room anchored 250 metres off shore, the floating Underwater Room is a private, three-storey timber structure featuring a sea level landing deck with lounge and bathroom below a stargazing, sun tanning bed. However its true appeal lies beneath: a double bed surrounded by panes of glass where endless shoals of reef fish swim by, with underwater night time spotlights attracting even more unusual species. This is arguably one of the most unique places to stay in our Amazing Africa. We’re dreaming of a weekend away at the gorgeous Manta Resort. 🤩 #hoteltiphumpday #discoverafrica #myamazingafrica #pembaisland

Our Mirjam and Kerstin recently spent time at Owls Rest Olive and Lavender farm. Located on Route 62 between Robertson and Ashton and nestled in the foothills of the Langeberg mountains in the Klaasvoogds River valley, lies this beautiful lavender and olive farm. Visitors also get the opportunity to experience a working farm where Lavender, Rosemary and Rose Geranium are harvested by hand and then steam distilled to extract the beautiful essential oils and floral water from these crops. This is lavender heaven! 😍 #myamazingafrica #discoverafrica #amazingafricactivitytipday

Happy #FunFactMonday Did you know although lion cubs are already interested in hunting at only one years old, these skills will only be proficient at around two years old? The cubs are often seen watching the adults as they hunt, and it's the females in the pride that teach these cubs this essential skill. Here is some lion cub cuteness to start your week right. 🦁 #funfactmonday #lioncub #discoverafrica #myamazingafrica

Initially for many of us to not have an itinerary before traveling is undoubtedly a challenge. In a culture where we are expected to organize our lives, multitask, and properly manage our days, it is not something we are used to. Our Vicky had to get used to just going with the flow, trusting the process, and opening up to new experiences (and many of them)😉! Read our latest blog to inspire your next getaway. (Link in bio) #myamazingafrica #discoverafrica #ccramazingrace2023 #CapeCountryRoutes

Happy World Africa Day!🌍 Today, we celebrate the rich culture, heritage and diversity of our people across the African continent. Apart from all the natural beauty our continent has to show, one of the most amazing things about Africa is it's people! From Cape to Cairo, we appreciate you! ❤️ #myamazingafrica #WorldAfricaDay #AfricaDay #AfricaDay2023

Happy #hoteltiphumpday! Today we'd like to introduce you to Highlands Lodge, a spectacular safari camp in the scenic Ngorongoro highlands of Tanzania. This spectacular lodge combines a cutting-edge, open design with an intimate setting within the lush forest that sprawls along the slopes of the Olmoti volcano. Guest areas include a well-stocked library, cosy bar area and luxuriously comfortable sitting areas that surround an indoor fireplace. Hearty gourmet meals are prepared with only the freshest organic ingredients and are served in a variety of dining areas. Is trekking down to the crater floor of the Empaki Crater to see flocks of pink flamingos part of your bucket list? Well, it’s part of ours! 😉 #myamazingafrica #discoverafrica #hoteltiphumpday

Greetings from #imexfrankfurt2023!👋 Our Kerstin is so excited to represent our Amazing Africa at Imex Frankfurt 2023 and to meet with new and familiar faces at stand C500. Be sure to stop by and say hi. 😉 IMEX is the must-attend event for anyone involved in the global meetings industry and what better place to host it than at Messe Frankfurt. One of the largest, most modern, and connected venues in the heart of Europe. 😍 #myamazingafrica #IMEX2023 #imexfrankfurt2023 #IMEX #discoverafrica #womenintourism

Happy #FunFactMonday! Did you know annually, from May to July, vast shoals of sardines migrate from their temperate-water home off South Africa’s southern coast and travel northeast into the sub-tropical coastal waters of the Wild Coast. 🐟 The Sardine Run along the South African coast is one of the largest marine-life migrations on earth and if the current doesn’t occur, the sardines don’t run. This is the most dramatic marine display on the South African Wild Coast! 🤩 #myamazingafrica #funfactmonday #sardinerun

READY, SET, IMEX! 🇩🇪 Our Kerstin is so excited to represent Amazing Africa at IMEX Frankfurt from the 23rd to the 25th of May 2023 in the MICE Impact Lounge, to reconnect with our industry partners, and catch up with new and familiar faces! Are you coming to IMEX Frankfurt 2023? 👀 #myamazingafrica #imexfrankfurt2023 #discoverafrica #imexfrankfurt

It's #amazingafricaactivitytipday and today we're taking to the skies for an exhilarating hot air balloon safari to revel in the seemingly endless views of Ruaha National Park. As you reach incredible heights, it's the perfect vantage point to explore the wild and untamed African plains. Heading closer to ground level, with the Ruaha River below, expect to see pods of hippo or herds of buffalo making their way to the water’s edge for a morning drink. Keep a lookout for predators that are likely to be wandering nearby. Is this on your safari bucket list? It should be, it's a must for your visit to southern Tanzania. 😉 #myamazingafrica #amazingafricaactivitytip #discoverafrica #tanzania

Happy #hoteltiphumpday! Our Krupa recently visited Mboma Island Expeditions, a piece of pristine paradise located at one of 3 remote camp sites on the tip of the game rich Moremi Game Reserve. Situated on the floodplains of the meeting point of the Delta’s fresh waters and the Moremi’s savannah terrain, means that Mboma is ideal for both land and water based safaris. An opportunity for guests to experience rustic luxury in a mobile camp that promises to deliver a wild experience in the Okavango Delta. Wednesdays are made that much better when staying at Mboma Island Expeditions! 😉 #myamazingafrica #hoteltiphumpday #discoverbotswana

Our Mirjam and Kerstin recently explored Zanzibar nestled off the coast of Tanzania. This island is steeped in culture and history and accessible from any safari region in Tanzania, within a matter of hours you can be relaxing on one of Zanzibar’s white sand beaches with a cocktail in hand.🍹 Zanzibar epitomises the Indian Ocean ideal. Colourful boutique hotels line white sands which stretch into glistening turquoise waters. The variety of hotels on Zanzibar means every budget is met with characterful charm; from private islands off the coast, to barefoot luxury beach shack chic, there is something for everyone. It would be a shame to go on a Tanzania safari without bookending your trip on this fabulous island. Island days are the best kind of days! 😍 #myamazingafrica #zanzibar #zanzibartourism

Happy #FunFactMonday! Did you know just like our fingerprints, every zebra’s stripe pattern is unique? Although to the human eye, these stripes seem the same, these unique stripes help other zebras tell them apart in the wild! The reason zebras even have stripes in the first place is for thermoregulation. The black stripes absorb heat from the sun and warm up zebras during the early morning, while the white stripes reflect more light and help them cool off while they stand and graze in the blazing sun of Africa all day. 🦓 #myamazingafrica #zebra #FunFactMonday

That's a wrap! 🥳 Thank you to all our industry partners for making Africa's Travel Indaba a success. Our Amazing Africa Team had a great time reconnecting with new and familiar faces, and building new relationships. If you couldn't make it, be sure to catch us at the following events: 📆IMEX Frankfurt in May 2023 📆Experience Africa in London in June 2023 📆WTM London in November 2023 More information to follow on our Social Media Platforms! #myamazingafrica #discoverafrica #AfricaTravelIndaba #indaba2023

It's #amazingafricaactivitytipday and according to our Krupa there is no better place to relax, unwind, and embrace the simple pleasures in life than at Mboma Island Expenditions where sunset boat cruises on the Okavango Delta are part of your daily routine. This wetland paradise is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it is a place where birds of every colour fill the reed beds, perch on the bare branches of trees, and nest in the leafy canopies of Mboma Island. Hippos and crocodiles submerge themselves in the cool water, or sun themselves on the emerald banks. Elephants pluck day-lillies from the water, and red lechwe tug at the grass with their grazing teeth. The modern day in which we live requires adventurers and solace-seekers to delve a little deeper to find the silence they search for, and to discover the undiscovered. 😍 #amazingafricaactivitytipday #myamazingafrica #discoverafrica #okavangodelta

Happy #hoteltiphumpday! Did you know Olakira is a mobile camp known for its superb game-viewing locations as it follows the wildebeest migration, around the Serengeti, throughout the year. After an unforgettable day out on safari, their friendly staff will roll your bed onto the meshed enclosed veranda of your tent, ready for you to drift off to sleep beneath a ceiling of stars with the sounds of the wildlife roaming nearby. Each of the nine canvas tents is perfectly designed to provide a 270-degree view of the sprawling plains, offering you a uniquely immersive outdoor experience with all the comforts of being indoors. Spending the night in a stargazing tent at Olakira Migration Camp is wildly magical! ✨ #myamazingafrica #hoteltiphumpday #discoverafrica

Happy #FunFactMonday! Did you know the teeth of African Wild Dogs are specially adapted and are unlike those of any other canid? After making a kill, wild dogs consume their prey as rapidly as possible before it is potentially stolen by other bigger predators, such as lions and hyenas. Unlike other types of dogs, their lower teeth are curved and blade-like. This special dental adaptation allows them to quickly tear apart and shred the carcass. Wild dogs do not fight among themselves when feeding and spoils are shared with the whole pack. After all success is best when shared. 😉 #myamazingafrica #discoverafrica #wilddog #africanwilddog

If you're looking for a sign that it's time to visit our Amazing Africa, here it is. 😉 We could watch our "Bush-TV" all day. #myamazingafrica #discoverafrica #africawildlife

Happy #hoteltiphumpday! Our Krupa recently visited Mankwe Tented Retreat tucked away in a grove of mopane trees and mysterious woodlands, this safari lodge sanctuary offers its visitors an unbeatable location close to both land and water-based safari activities. There are 10 tented suites each with a private viewing deck with views of the wilderness. The tranquil main area of the lodge houses a swimming pool, dining and lounge area, and small relaxation enclaves that effortlessly flow through the pool area. If that's not enough, there's a small spa treatment room, private lounge area, and a second pool section complete with a chill area, sun loungers and quintessential pool bar. To say we're a little obsessed would be an understatement. 🤩 #myamazingafrica #hoteltiphumpday #discoverbotswana #botswanatourism

7 DAYS TO GO! 😀💪 Our Amazing Africa Team are so excited to reconnect with new and familiar faces at this year's Africa Travel Indaba in Durban from 09 - 11 May 2023.

Greetings from Botswana. 👋 Our Krupa joined a game drive across the Moremi National Park, ideally located in the central and eastern region of the Okavango Delta. Moremi is home to the Moremi Tongue and Chief’s Island, featuring one of the most varied ecosystems in Africa. She witnessed the raw, untouched beauty of the open bush, widely acknowledged as the predator capital of the world. The region promises up-close views of unique wildlife and flourishing vegetation and is the only area in Botswana where the Big Five can be found. Where we would rather be this Friday!😍 #myamazingafrica #amazingafricaactivitytipday #moremi #Moremigamereserve

Happy #hoteltiphumpday! Today we'd like to introduce you to Governors' Mugie House. Our Mirjam and Kerstin were blown away by the breathtaking natural beauty of this lodge, nestled in a prime and unique location set on the private Mugie Conservancy. The charming stone cottages sit on a hill overlooking the rolling Laikipia plains and exude a warm, inviting air that feels as familiar and comfortable as your own place. Mugie House offers an exceptional African safari experience. No two days are the same and there is a variety of exciting activities to keep you entertained. Day and night drives take you through the conservancy in search of big game, time spent in the hide provides the opportunity to photograph visitors to the watering hole, while the Mugie Dam is the perfect spot to do some kayaking. To say we’re a little obsessed would be an understatement- I mean! 🤩 #hoteltiphumpday #myamazingafrica #discoverafrica #masaaimara

Happy #WorldPenguinDay! Today, marks World Penguin Day as it coincides with the Adelie penguin's yearly migration cycle. We are celebrating these flightless birds and all of the traits that make them unique (and pretty darn cute, too 😉). Here are a few facts about the African penguin that you might not have known: 1. African penguin's have pink glands above their eyelids to which they can transfer blood to help cool down in the hot summer months. The pinker a penguin's brow glands become, the hotter it is. 2. The African penguin's black and white coloring is a sort of counter-shading camouflage that also allows them to easily coordinate movement underwater. 3. African penguin's were once known as jackass penguins because they produce a donkey-like braying sound. We can watch them for hours, how about you? 😍 #myamazingafrica #southafrica #penguins #bouldersbeach #simonstown #WorldPenguinDay

Happy #FunFactMonday! Did you know the Jozani Forest is the largest area of indigenous forest on Zanzibar Island? The area is famously home to populations of Zanzibar red colobus monkey (an endangered species found only in Zanzibar) and our Mirjam and Kerstin were lucky to enjoy an amazing sighting of this species followed by the impressive mangrove forest. There is so much to see in our Amazing Africa! 😍 #myamazingafrica #funfactmonday #discoverafrica #zanzibar

How did you spend your Thursday? Our Chrisna, Ryan and Phumi welcomed more than 400 MSC Cruises guests to what is renowned as South Africa's third-largest city, Durban! It goes to show what the power of teamwork and organizational skills can achieve! We are grateful to our incredible and knowledgeable staff (behind and in front of the scenes) and our Tour Guides, a warm and welcoming hospitality is a trait that just comes naturally for them. 😉 We look forward to welcoming the MSC Cruises to our Amazing Africa in the near future again! #myamazingafrica #msccruises #durbantourism

Happy #hoteltiphumpday everyone! Our Vicky recently visited Gonana Guesthouse with Cape Country Routes, Paternoster’s first sustainable guesthouse overlooking a setting of unbroken sunsets, dreamy corners and flourishing nature. Situated directly on Bekbaai beach, bordered by the Columbine Nature Reserve, Gonana Guesthouse follows the principle of ‘buy local, think global’ and their eight eco-friendly en-suite guest rooms are a study of calm and tranquillity with a neutral palette that encourages you to exhale, relax and reconnect with yourself and nature. This is a place where warm-hearted people, unspoiled white sandy beaches and enchanting restaurants welcome you to a beach holiday just two hours from Cape Town.😍 #myamazingafrica #hoteltiphumpday #capecountryroutes #ccramazingrace2023

Happy #FunFactMonday! Did you know a significant part of Cape Town's history is the King's Blockhouse located at the foot of Devil's Peak? The King's Blockhouse was built in 1796 by the British as a defensive and lookout position and it allows a complete view of False Bay and the Castle. The Blockhouse is on the Contour Path which continues in both directions towards Kirstenbosch and towards Table Mountain. There's no shortage of what the fascinating city of Cape Town has to offer. 😉 #myamazingafrica #FunFactMonday #capetown

Our Marika was invited to the reopening function of Okapuka Safari Lodge in Namibia! Following recent renovations, the lodge has partnered with the Gondwana Collection Namibia to manage its operations. We are delighted to announce that Okapuka is now fully operational and eagerly awaiting the return of guests to its refreshed premises. With spacious units and 7300 ha lof prime African savannah, there is certainly no shortage of incredible things to see and do when visiting Okapuka Safari Lodge. 🐾 #myamazingafrica #gondwanacollection #Namibia #okapukasafarilodge

It's #amazingafricaactivitytipday and as "Travel Experts" we know there are certain moments in life that are hard to describe and watching a pod of dolphins power through the deep blue water beneath a kayak, just centimetres from your awaiting fingertips, is one of them. 😉 Our Ryan ventured out into the open sea and paddle along the coastline with Waterfront Kayak – conveniently located at the V&A Waterfront. While dolphins are a bonus, they are not the sole reason to grab an oar and head out into the deep and cool waters, the unique view of Table Mountain and Lions Head is entirely different from a land-based view. Being out on the water and at sea level gives one a special sense of awe and is a wonderful opportunity to snap some unusual pics. This is a Cape Town bucket list must. 😍 #myamazingafrica #amazingafricaactivitytipday #kayaking #capetown

Happy #hoteltiphumpday! Our Vicky recently visited Montagu Country Hotel with Cape Country Routes an Art Deco gem that first opened its doors in 1875 and has been lovingly refurbished with original Art Deco and Victorian furniture. Montagu lies nestled between the beautiful Langeberg Mountains on Route 62, conveniently located halfway between the Cape Winelands and the Garden Route. Guests can also enjoy a thrilling spin through winding country lanes in a classic car of your choice, before retreating back to the hotel for an evening of fine dining and a restful night in a luxurious suite. Just imagine. The wind in your hair, with one hand resting on the steering wheel, and heads turning as you motor through a succession of picturesque villages. 😉 Elegant, intimate, and oh so dreamy! 😍 #myamazingafrica #hoteltiphumpday #ccramazingrace2023 #CapeCountryRoutes

It's #amazingafricaactivitytipday and as a beachy city, surfing has always been a favourite pastime amongst the locals of Cape Town. Yet did you know you can enjoy the same exhilarating rush of surfing throughout the whole year but on the dunes of Atlantis? Our Ryan joined Jeep Tours for a sandboarding adventure she will not soon forget! You get the best of both worlds, with Jeep Tours giving 2 options to adventure seekers. You can either walk up the slopes and slide down, or you can get a ride up the slopes in a 4×4. Both of these options offer the ultimate sandboarding experience for all participants. Seeing these pictures gives us all those Thursday Feels! 😍 #myamazingafrica #amazingafricaactivitytipday #atlantisdunes #capetown

Happy #HotelTipHumpDay everyone! A road trip is a great way to experience the Western Cape's small-town hospitality. Our Vicky recently visited the Karoo Art Hotel in Barrydale with Cape Country Routes and if art galleries are at the top of your travel itinerary, then the Karoo Art Hotel offers an interesting way to get your culture fix and add some colour to your road trip. Offering a thoughtful, quirky alternative to the sterile, minimalist design of many modern hotels, this Hotel boasts captivating collections right at your fingertips. From burgeoning local artists to renowned names, the hotel basically doubles as an art gallery and museum. The best part? The artwork rotates throughout the year, so there’s always something new to indulge in. 😉 #hoteltiphumpday #myamazingafrica #Barrydale

Greetings from WTM Africa!👋 Our team is so excited to represent our Amazing Africa at WTM Africa in Cape Town and to reconnect with industry partners, and catch up with new and familiar faces. The show officially opened its doors yesterday bringing the world to Africa and promoting Africa to the world. A time to explore travel and tourism opportunities, all under one roof! This is what #WTMAfrica2023 is all about, where the heart of the travel industry beats! 😉 #myamazingafrica #WTM2023 #CapeTown #WTMAfrica2023 #CapeTownSouthAfrica #TravelAndTourism

Happy #FunFactMonday! Did you know the rocky headland of Cape Agulhas is the place where two oceans – the Indian and Atlantic – meet? 🤝 Early Portuguese seafarers rounding the most southern tip of Africa called it Capo du Agulhas, which means Cape of Needles (referring to the jagged rocks of the coastline). It is estimated that almost 200 ships have sunk off the shore of Cape Agulhas in the past 200 years. Most notably, the Japanese ship Meisho Maru’s wreckage is still visible just offshore. If the winds aren’t too strong, you can visit the marker like our Vicky indicating the official dividing line where the oceans meet. 😉 #myamazingafrica #FunFactMonday #capeagulhas

It's #amazingafricaactivitytipday and our Ryan took 'hanging out’ to the next level with Africa Abseil abseiling down one of the 7 Wonders of Nature, the iconic Table Mountain. At 1 000 metres above sea level, this is the world’s highest commercial abseil, making for an exhilarating experience. As you are lowered into the vortex, the vast blue ocean stretches out before you, and Camps Bay, Lion’s Head and The Twelve Apostles form a panorama of splendour. The views, and the memories, of dangling 3,200 feet above the beautiful city of Cape Town are not to be missed. If it's not on your bucket list yet we highly recommend adding it for an adrenaline rush second to none. 😉 #myamazingafrica #amazingafricaactivitytipday #tablemountain #abseiling

Happy #hoteltiphumpday! Today we'd like to introduce you to Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge. Our Mirjam, Kerstin, Chrisna and Karo were blown away by the breathtaking natural beauty of this lodge, exquisitely sculpted into a hillside almost invisible in its surrounding landscapes. The superlative Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge is also known as one of Africa’s most environmentally sensitive lodges. Designed to blend in with its surroundings, this five-star lodge provides panoramic views of the surrounding bush. Each game drive takes you through a wide variety of habitats, allowing you to view the vast interactions of the wild. Back at the lodge be pampered at the Earth Nature Spa, visit the well-equipped library, unwind in the meditation garden or work out in the gym. In some ways the property is futuristic and in others, a stone-age cave. If you’re looking for a sign that it’s time to visit our amazing South Africa, here it is. 😉 #myamazingafrica #hoteltiphumpday #discoverafrica

Have you ever wanted to compete on the Amazing Race? Our Vicky is following any intrepid travelers dream of exploring the beautiful routes of the Western Cape and competing to prove she's the savviest wanderer of the #CCRAmazingRace2023.😎 What attracts many people to these types of mystery trips is that often times when we travel, we are looking to maximize every single possible day – squeezing every last ounce of what we can fit in to feed our FOMO (fear of missing out). The competition is not nearly as important as enjoying the people, the destinations, and the experience. We can't wait to see where Cape Country's Routes next clue will take her!😉 #myamazingafrica #ccramazingrace2023 #discoversouthafrica #adventureawaits #CapeCountryRoutes

Happy #FunFactMonday! Our Ryan's recent journey to Robben Island began from the moment she stepped foot into the Nelson Mandela Gateway situated in the Clock Tower precinct, at the V&A Waterfront. This Gateway isn’t just another ticket office or loading dock but a museum itself – one housing exhibitions tracing local political history and is much more than meets the eye from the outside. Robben Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and many know it as the place where South Africa’s first democratically elected president, Nelson Mandela, spent 18 years of his 27 years in prison along with many others who fought for South Africa’s freedom. But the island is rich in history that spans further than any history books have ever told. Our Ryan believes a trip to Robben Island should remain at the top of everyone’s itinerary and we couldn't agree more. 😉 #myamazingafrica #FunFactMonday #robbenısland

Happy #hoteltiphumpday. Today we'd like to introduce you to @kagga_kamma Far away from the city lights, in a vast open space where rock formations frame the horizon, there is a place where lovers of nature can experience the environment in the lap of luxury.

Kagga Kamma is equally unique in that it offers guests experiences and facilities you will not find anywhere else. Marvel at the Southern night skies on a Star Gazing Tour, facilitated by an expert guide. The clear, dark skies of the Cederberg make this the perfect star-gazing spot and guests can enjoy spectacular views of the Moon, stars, satellites and planets, along with deep sky objects like the Whirlpool Galaxy. If South Africa isn't on your bucket list yet, we recommend adding it right away! 😉 #hoteltiphumpday #myamazingafrica #discoverafrica #ceres

Happy Humans Right Day, South Africa!🇿🇦 For Human Rights Day, we decided to take a look at some of SA’s tourism destinations that hold historical importance in the nation’s quest for equal rights. Which one have you visited before? #myamazingafrica #humanrights #HumansRightsDay

Happy #FunFactMonday, this is your Monday reminder that you can handle whatever this week throws at you. Did you know the Freedom Charter Monument located on Walter Sisulu Square symbolises freedom and democracy and was built where the Freedom Charter was adopted by the Congress of the People in 1955 and is made from bricks from destroyed Sophiatown. Looking at the Freedom Charter Monument through the eyes of different visitors, you can definitely see and learn something new every single time. Our Chrisna captured a group of acapella singers who spontaneously started singing and got carried away by their beautiful voices in song. Moments like these keep us going. ♫ #FunFactMonday #myamazingafrica #discoverafrica #FreedomCharter

Our Mirjam, Kerstin, Nadine and Karo recently visited @kwandwe_ translated as 'place of the blue crane' in isiXhosa, that flanks both the north and south banks of the Great Fish River, near Grahamstown and roughly two hours' from Gqeberha.

Happy #FunFactMonday! Our Karo recently visited Swazi Candles a manufacturing company established in 1982, based in Malkerns in the beautiful Kingdom of Eswatini in Southern Africa. From humble beginnings in an old dairy cowshed, Swazi Candles has gained a reputation for producing unique candles, attracting visitors from far and wide. However the best thing about these bright and striking candles is that when they’re lit, the flame will make a small hole in the body that doesn’t melt the entire candle – meaning you can keep it and put a tea light inside, in order to enjoy the candle without it dying.🕯️ #FunFactMonday #myamazingafrica #EswatiniTourism

Greetings from the Eastern Cape!👋 Our Mirjam, Kerstin, Nadine and Karo are currently exploring the Cafe Recife Lighthouse located in the 366 hectare Cape Recife Nature Reserve at the southern tip of Algoa Bay, and also climbed the 87 steps to the top of the lighthouse to experience not only the magnificent view but also the light which delivers an effective guidance system to ships in and around Algoa Bay.

Happy #FunFactMonday! Lakes are nothing new for an experienced traveler. Some are frozen, some a stunning shade of turquoise blue and others might vary from light blue to dark green BUT what if we tell you that there is a pink lake on the edge of the Namib Desert in the town of Walvis Bay?😲 The Pink Salt Lakes of Walvis Bay are one of the most Instagrammed locations on Earth and the lakes are also said to be inhabited by microorganisms that release a reddish-pink substance called beta-carotene as a part of their photosynthesis process. I don't think we will ever get tired of Mother Nature's color palette. 🎨 #myamazingafrica #FunFactMonday #Namibia #pinksaltlake

Bourke's Luck Potholes is a magnificent natural attraction located along the Panorama Route, and marks the beginning of the Blyde River Canyon, the greenest canyon in the world, and has been formed by years and years of swirling whirlpools eroding holes into the bedrock of the Treur River. The potholes were named after Tom Burke, a gold digger who staked a claim nearby. Although his land did not produce any gold at all, he correctly predicted that large gold deposits would be found in the area. #FunFactMonday #myamazingafrica #panoramaroute #bourkesluckpotholes

Happy #amazingafricaactivitytip day. Did you know in 2011, a new art project route known as Route 67 was opened to the public. Nelson Mandela Bay has used this art journey as a way to celebrate Nelson Mandela's 67 years of public life and his contribution to the freedom struggle in South Africa. Each art piece represents a specific period during the 67 years and comes accompanied by quotes, media articles and historic events. The impetus behind all of this is to demonstrate how public art can create an interactive urban space, and to elicit a feeling of pride in the city. The long walk to freedom is indeed a beautiful display! 🥰 #amazingafricaactivitytip #longwalktofreedom #nelsonmandela #myamazingafrica

Our Karo, Vicky and Lize recently visited Ngwenya Glass in Eswatini. 🇸🇿 What’s not to love about the Ngwenya Glass story; new life breathed into a dilapidated factory and an age-old craft by the Prettejohn Family. Plus, proof that business success and commitment to protecting the environment and uplifting the local community can, indeed, be a winning combination. The reason why Ngwenya Glass is so special is that only recycled glass is used to make their unique products – mainly old drink bottles. Each and every piece is totally handmade and mouth blown. People from all over Swaziland collect bottles and are paid per kilo for clean glass. Isn’t it great to know that those beautiful glasses on your dining table have done all that? 😉 #myamazingafrica #EswatiniTourism #ngwenyaglass

Happy #FunFactMonday! This is your Monday reminder that difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations and sometimes it's a dirt road to the most scenic route in Madagascar.

This road has a row of about 20 – 25 impressive Baobab trees along a stretch of 260 m.

Happy #FunFactMonday everyone! Nature never fails to amaze us with its never-ending surprises. Zebras are known to be striped black and white animals who live in the wild. But have you ever met or seen a zebra with spots instead of stripes? Well, neither have we! 😉 Born in Kenya's Mara Reserve, this baby zebra has a unique polka dot appearance.

Where is he today, and is he still alive? 🤔 #FunFactMonday #myamazingafrica #discoverafrica

We’ve all heard of the term “sustainable tourism,” but just how much do we understand about the more recent concept of regenerative tourism? When you think of the words “regenerate” and “regenerative,” concepts of renewal and restoration tend to come to mind, and this is just what regenerative tourism encourages – for visitors, rather than just maintaining an area, activity or community, instead actively seeking for ways in which to revitalise the areas and communities impacted by tourism. Here are a few simple ideas on how to look out for regenerative tourism opportunities: 🌍When you contribute to a local economy, you enable the community to exist, thrive, and give back to their community. Stop and explore rather than just aiming for quick and easy. 🌍Next time you head out the door while visiting a new area, take a bag with you to pick up litter as you explore. It might seem menial, but every bit of litter collected contributes to the regeneration of the environment. 🌍Is the country or the destination you’re visiting running any social projects? For example, a lodge or hotel might contribute a percentage of your accommodation fee towards helping to send local children to school or to help construct buildings in the local community. #myamazingafrica #regnerativetourism #traveltrends

Some sentinels take their job more seriously than others, the higher the lookout the better. 😉 Did you know there are few animals on Earth who work as well together as meerkats.

The pearl of the Indian Ocean, Mozambique boasts 2,500 km (1,550 miles) of pristine beachfront on the mainland, with a string of beautiful and idyllic tropical islands, glittering like jewels in the warm, azure waters of the Indian Ocean.

The unspoiled natural beauty and rich marine life have pushed this country to the top of the list for honeymooners, scuba divers and water sports fanatics. #myamazingafrica #mozambique #mozambiquetourism #discoverafrica
