Is still on your “to-see” list?

Let’s give you some inspiration for why you should visit this amazing safari destination:

1. Fun & different ways to experience wildlife - traditional mokoro, boating & walking

2. Vastly varying environments - do the Kalahari Desert and the Okavango Delta to see unique species in each

3. Exclusivity. Camps are purposefully kept small, and we know the places to send our clients where you won’t run into anyone else (except maybe some lions, elephants and painted wolves, oh my!).

We sure ate and drank our fill of some of the best that South Africa has to offer during our most recent scouting trip!

This area of the world is exploding with culinary innovation, incredible vineyards and creative chefs who highlight local ingredients and putting a spin on traditional recipes.

If food + wine are some of your favorite things to try while traveling, we know where to point your compass next!

P.S. If there is fruit in the champagne, then it definitely counts as breakfast right?

What a magical stay it’s been in the Constantia Wine Valley at & spa!

This stunning historic landmark wine farm has been a peaceful oasis of relaxation, amazing dining and wine experiences, and incredible natural scenery and decor. Plus there is a 18-hole golf course, heated pool + sauna, and two amazing restaurants on the property just right outside Cape Town.

We’ve been blown away by how beautiful the private villas and one bedroom suites are and can see how this has become a long-stay favorite escape.

We are still reminiscing over this magical tasting menu dinner at

An intimate dining experience that has every five star element- impeccable service, a story behind every dish and decor choice, a top notch wine selection and every bite was fresh, new and delicious.

If you’re planning on spending any time in Cape Town we highly recommend getting a reservation at Curate at Ellerman House!
