Beautiful Mauritius 🌸 - it’s been a while since I’ve been on this beautiful island, and it certainly still has the wow factor.
With direct flights from Perth (no transit), and onwards to Johannesburg, this really should be on your itinerary.
Time to reconsider Asian destinations and explore this stunning sub tropical African island - if not only for the stunning beaches, but also the food, the people, the fishing, snorkeling and rum!

Exciting news from Forage Safaris! We are thrilled to officially launch our brand-new Forage Safaris Africa website!

There is nothing better than sharing this with travellers. Beyond the signature local tours, I craft bespoke, luxury African safaris tailored to your exact travel dreams - from the untamed wilderness of the Okavango Delta to the iconic plains of the Serengeti, your safari is within reach.

Coming to a bottle near you!

2026 was another excellent vintage in Margaret River.

"Warm days, cool nights and an extended ripening period allowed fruit to develop excellent flavour, natural balance and strong varietal definition resulting in both white and red varieties performing strongly. Whites will shine in the glass – Chardonnay has been exceptional, showcasing true elegance and poise. The reds, and in particular Cabernet Sauvignon, are revealing great structure and ageing potential."
