The Kruger National Park South Africa has long been the place to visit on a South Africa Safari Vacation. Then there is only one place to stay, and that is the Royal Malewane when you are on a South Africa Game Safari.

Yet having said that Game Drives are not the only reason to come here.

Royal Malewane will give you a range of activities from game drives to bush walks, spa treatments, and wonderful new gymnasium, and game watching from the verandah or the swimming pool. This is a real haven of peace and quiet whilst being completely surrounded by the African Bush. This is why people who value their privacy come here.

Seclusion is the best word to describe the suites at the Royal Malewane. They are simply enormous with canopied King size beds, window sized Victorian baths, and indoor and outdoor showers, with views to die for from the suites. In addition they are air conditioned, and yet have a fireplace. There are six one bedroomed suites, and the two bedroomed Royal and Malewane Suites with their own personal butlers. Each suite is unforgettably old colonial Africa in concept.

To sit on your veranda and watch the splendors of Africa unfold in front of you is bewitching, because the fact that all the suites are raised up on stilts gives you the elevation to improve your view no end. The plunge pool of the suite might even be used by passing elephants to sneak a drink from it is that close up and personal.

Elevated walkways link the suites to the main lodge continues the old colonial theme in its furnishings, and even dining is in keeping with the best china silver and crystal.

The service is exceptional, and the food is exceptional, with a great wine list It is extraordinary the first time you look up from the dinner table in the middle of a sumptuous feast to see a group of elephants walking by..

Royal Malewane is at once luxury, and then unforgettable, and thirdly almost without fault. Places don’t come much better than this, with a maximum of sixteen guests in the Thornybush Game Reserve area right next to the Kruger National Park. This is the home to lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhino amongst others, and to over 250 recorded birs species. This will give you one of the best game viewing experiences in South Africa if not all of Africa.

The Kruger National Park South Africa has many quality lodges but nothing like Royal Malewane which somehow manages to combine colonial splendour with the quality of hospitality and facilities associated with the best traditions of the 21st Century.

Of course you take a South Africa Game Safari to see game, and you will find that the staff do all in their power to ensure you see what you want to see, with great rangers and trackers to ensure this happens, and their enthusiasm and knowledge is huge.

The Royal Malewane has to be seen to be believed. It really is the place to stay for the Kruger National Park, and it will give you a totally memorable South Africa Game Safari Vacation.

Catch Some Rays Closer to Home This Autumn in North Africa

Many Brits who counted on this summer to be a repeat of last year are now regretting not planning their summer holidays abroad in warmer environs, but it is not too late to plan a trip for this autumn. Although many sun seekers may head to the Caribbean in the upcoming months for their essential dose of vitamin D, the countries of the Middle East provide just as much sunshine, are much closer and there are no hurricane threats. As well as practically non-stop sunshine, the Middle East also offers visitors a rich and varied history and culture to discover.

Sun drenched beaches, world class diving, superb snorkelling and all inclusive resorts may not come to mind when thinking about holidays in the Middle East and North Africa, but it should. Many parts of these countries are taking advantage of their hot climate, clear blue seas and their rich histories offering holidaymakers a variety of sports, activities and relaxation.

Visitors can take day trips to ancient cities such as Luxor in Egypt or Fes in Morocco, shop in the modern metropolises of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, or even take a luxurious Egyptian cruise down the Nile. Britons that feel cheated by the wash out UK summer can take their strong pound and plan a relaxing holiday in the region while having the option of seeing some of the greatest sights in the world.

Fes is the spiritual and cultural centre of Morocco and a great place to go if you have been enchanted by the Moorish style that Morocco exudes. Here you can visit the oldest medina in the country, visit mosques, dye pits and tanneries, and also dine at fantastic restaurants, shop in the open air markets and people watch at the cafes. Mint tea is the beverage of choice, a refreshing drink after strolling through the ancient city where you can explore the narrow streets and be glad you escaped the rain and lacklustre weather back home.

The great pyramids are emblematic of Egypt and are probably what first comes to mind when people think of a holiday there. The majority of visitors travelling to Egypt will most likely go and see this great wonder of the world, but there are other things in Egypt that should not be missed. Egypt has some of the highest class hotels and resorts in the world offering renowned dive centres and water sports as well, which employ experienced teachers to take on first timers or help the advanced improve.

If you are planning your autumn holiday in North Africa or the Middle East it may seem hard to choose but at least it is easy to find a place that has everything you require for your vacation.

The Caribbean may conjure up images of white sands and palm trees, but the sunshine of North Africa clearly rivals even the sunniest spots of these islands while having no threat of hurricane season. If the rainy wet miserable weather of the British summer is giving you itchy feet to get out and catch some rays, don’t pass up the hot sun closer to home in the ancient cities or warm beaches of North Africa and the Middle East.

Planning Your Trip to South Africa – From Cape Town to Pretoria

South Africa is known as the “Rainbow Nation” and with a tainted past, it has emerged as one of the fastest growing and most popular vacation destinations in the world. A trip to South Africa is like no other vacation. This is mainly due to the fine weather, the diversity of the areas and the appeal of the New South Africa. There are hundreds of amazing places to visit when you come to South Africa, but there are some that stand out above the rest and must be mentioned as places you need to put on your to do list for when you travel the country.

The first place, which is on the list as one of the top cities in the world, is Cape Town. There is a lot to do here and a vast range of activities and styles to suit just about everyone. You will find the best hotels in the country in Cape Town, the top three accommodation venues being the Cape Grace Hotel (1st), the Arabella Sheraton Grand Hotel (2nd) and the Table Bay Hotel (3rd). Cape Town is a great place for relaxing or partying and from the hub of city life you can travel a mere 45 minutes to reach the peaceful seaside towns and oldest wine estates in the country at Constantia. Everything you can imagine is found in Cape Town like the stylish V&A Waterfront, Two Oceans Aquarium, Planetarium, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, museums, art galleries, theatres, night clubs, sports stadiums, zoos, farms, adventure sports, marine activities, beach activities, Cape Point, Stellenbosch, Hermanus, and much, much more. With stunning weather all year round, it is the number one choice when you decide to make trip to South Africa.

The second best place when you want an exotic African escape is the Kruger National Park. This is a world renowned park that houses all of the Big Five (Lion, Leopard, Rhinoceros, Buffalo, and Elephant), hundreds of interesting and unique bird and insect life as well as amazing resorts and luxury lodges. Most the best accommodation resorts in South Africa are located in this area just outside the park boundaries. The top 7 resorts are Singita Game Reserve for Ebony and Boulders Lodges (1st), MalaMala Game Reserve (2nd), Singita Game Reserve for the Lebombo and Sweni Lodges (3rd), Sabi Sabi Private Game Lodge (5th), Londolozi Private Game Reserve (6th), and Phinda Forest Lodge (7th).

The next place that is a must for every visitor to South Africa is Sun City and The Lost City entertainment complexes. You can relax and do everything in these complexes that are situated in the North West Province. They are close to a game reserve called Pilansburg, so you basically get the best of both worlds – luxury urban style and the African bush experience. The culmination is perhaps most evident in the top quality Gary Player Championship golf course that has live crocodiles roaming around on it. At Sun City there is a world class theater called the Super Bowl where tons of international artists perform. There is a massive casino, luxury accommodation, restaurants, shopping, fun for the kids, adventure activities, and sports. The Lost City is a Skull Island, King Kong inspired theme park and water world which is great fun for the whole family. There are interesting places to go and things to see as well as top class eateries and accommodation.

For sun, sand and amazing surf there is no better place than Durban and the other resort towns along the Sunshine Coast of KwaZulu-Natal. You can enjoy many things in this part of the country, mostly in the water sports category, but also fishing, hiking, bird watching and more. These towns are reminiscent of seaside resort towns in perhaps Spain or Italy and with a fresh and fun vibrancy; you will really have a blast when you come here. In Durban itself, there are lots of interesting places to visit and see and one of the highlights of your trip will be the regular Zulu dancers that welcome you to the city. Durban is also famous for its Marine conservation and the recently built uShaka Marine World. Here you can have fun in the water based adventure theme park and even swim up close to real Great White Sharks! This place is something you cannot miss when traveling to this part of the country.

Gauteng is the hub of South African business and considered to the best place to earn money. The gold rush in the 1800s proclaimed this area to be “Egoli” the place of gold and since then the dusty gold mines and shafts have cleared away to a large extent to reveal a mega-city. There are plenty of interesting things to see when visiting the leading city in South Africa, like the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site, Gold Reef City, Soweto and the nearby capital city of Pretoria.

All of these places stand out as top destinations within South Africa and will show you the diversity and unique cultures of this land.
