Sometimes, having your own space makes all the difference when travelling.

Especially when you're spending several days exploring a city like Cape Town.

I've always appreciated accommodation that gives travellers the freedom to enjoy their holiday at their own pace.

That's what makes Romney Park Aparthotel Luxury Apartments in Green Point an interesting option.

There are one-, two- and three-bedroom options, making it worth considering for couples, families or groups travelling together.

You have your own kitchen and living space, while still having access to reception, housekeeping, breakfast facilities and an outdoor pool.

And the location is a definite advantage.

Green Point puts you close to the V&A Waterfront, with the Atlantic Seaboard and many of Cape Town's attractions within easy reach.

For someone combining a Cape Town visit with an African safari, having a comfortable base for a few days can make the overall journey much more enjoyable.

We'll be sharing Phillip's walkthrough of the property on Wednesday, taking a closer look at what it's actually like inside.

If you're planning time in Cape Town as part of your African holiday, we'd be happy to help you explore accommodation options that suit your trip.

Three nights in Madikwe. Two people. R52,576.

There's something particularly special about having enough time to enjoy a safari without constantly thinking about your next destination.

Rhulani Safari Lodge in Madikwe Game Reserve has announced a December offer that makes a longer stay worth considering.

Stay three nights and pay for two.

For two adults sharing a Luxury Private Chalet, the published package price is R52,576 instead of R78,864.

Here's what that includes:

- Your own luxury chalet with a heated plunge pool.
- Morning and afternoon guided game drives.
- All meals, snacks and selected drinks.
- A stocked minibar and in-room refreshments.
- Access to Rhulani's underground wildlife-viewing hide.

What appeals to me is having that extra day.

More time in the bush, more opportunities to enjoy the lodge, and perhaps an afternoon spent quietly watching the waterhole instead of rushing somewhere else.

The offer applies to new reservations with check-in between 1 and 20 December 2026, subject to availability.

The example price applies before the 20 December rate increase and excludes conservation contributions, reserve entry fees, travel to Madikwe and optional extras.

Sometimes it's the little things that make a hotel stay memorable.

I recently visited La Fontaine in Franschhoek, part of The Oyster Collection, and decided to take you along for a look around.

I've always enjoyed exploring the smaller boutique hotels in the Cape Winelands. They have so much character, and there's often quite a difference between looking at photographs and actually walking through a room.

What I particularly enjoy is checking the practical details.

Is there enough space for your luggage? Are the plugs conveniently positioned? Is the bathroom comfortable? And after a long day exploring, is this somewhere you'd be happy to put your feet up?

La Fontaine has another advantage I appreciate. You're right in the heart of Franschhoek, close to the village's restaurants, galleries and shops.

I've included my walkthrough so you can see the room for yourself.

These are the sorts of visits I enjoy most. Getting to know a place properly and discovering what makes it worth considering for different travellers.

One of my favourite parts of exploring the Cape Winelands is discovering the smaller boutique hotels tucked away in its beautiful towns.

I recently visited Franschhoek Country House & Villas.

I decided to film a little walkthrough of one of their rooms to show you what it's actually like inside.

And I mean the practical things too. The bedroom, bathroom, refreshments, room layout and all those details you don't necessarily notice when scrolling through hotel photographs.

I've always believed that getting to know a property in person makes a difference.

Sometimes it's the smallest details that help you decide whether somewhere is right for you.

Have a look around with me and enjoy a little taste of Franschhoek

I've never understood why people travel halfway around the world to Africa, only to rush through it.

There's so much excitement around an African safari. The early morning game drives, tracking wildlife, that incredible feeling when something unexpected happens right in front of you.

And I absolutely love all of it.

But I've come to appreciate the quieter side just as much.

You can be out in the bush before sunrise, following tracks with your guide and a few hours later you're sitting overlooking the Sand River with a cup of coffee.

Perhaps you spend the afternoon relaxing by the pool. Perhaps you book a yoga session or visit Londolozi's Healing House.

Or perhaps you do absolutely nothing.

That's the beauty of giving yourself enough time in one place.

It's why I often encourage people to consider four or five nights at a lodge rather than rushing off to the next destination after two.

You have more opportunities to enjoy the wildlife, but you also have time to appreciate everything else that makes being in the African bush so special.

Some of my favourite safari memories have happened when there was absolutely nothing on the itinerary.

And I wouldn't change that for anything.

Planning a safari for the whole family can be quite a challenge. Especially when three generations are travelling together!

The grandparents might dream of peaceful afternoons overlooking the river.

The parents want somewhere beautiful where they can finally switch off.

And the children? Well, they want adventure, excitement and stories to tell when they get home.

I've always believed that the best family safaris give everyone a little of what they love.

And that's one of the reasons I find Londolozi Pioneer Camp in the Sabi Sand so interesting.

At first glance, it looks like a wonderfully secluded retreat for couples. Just three suites, surrounded by ancient ebony trees, overlooking the Sand River.

But here's the clever part.

Those same suites can be arranged as a private family homestead for up to 12 guests, with connecting glass walkways allowing family members to move between suites.

Imagine returning from a morning in the bush and gathering around the breakfast table, laughing about the elephant that wandered across the road or the leopard that appeared when nobody expected it.

Then everyone goes off to enjoy the afternoon at their own pace.

Some might relax by the pool. Others might sit quietly watching the river.

And by evening, everyone comes together again, with another day's stories to share.

To me, those shared moments are what make a family safari so special.

But getting the accommodation right matters just as much as choosing where to go.

It's why we take the time to understand each family and personally get to know the properties we recommend.

At African Wildlife Plains, we believe the best family holidays are the ones where everyone feels considered.
