Eight Work Integrated Learning (WIL) student.
Eight graduates.
Eight full-time NFT team members. 🎉

Last month we watched our people walk across the stage at DUT — two with Diplomas in Business Information Management, six with Diplomas in Tourism.

And Fortunate? She graduated cm laude, top of her class, with the Dean’s Merit Award. We are super proud of all of them. 🌟

These young people balanced real jobs with full-time studies, and they did it with heart. NFT was also honoured at the Durban University of Technology (DUT) Employer Awards by Director Dr Themba Msukwini - recognised for our commitment to developing young talent in the tourism industry.

But honestly, looking at these faces is the only award we need. 💛

Sanelisiwe, Gcina, Fortunate, Shameel, Mhlengi, Lindokuhle, Sthembele and Kwandakomusa — the future is yours. We’re just glad we get to watch it unfold.

Cape Town, you delivered. 🙌

A few days of back-to-back conversations, familiar faces and plenty of new ones — We Are Africa never disappoints. From packed meeting diaries, rolling into networking and social evenings at the DHL Stadium with the whole industry under one roof.

Always proud to fly the NFT flag here. Now we’re packing up and heading up the coast.

Durban, we’re coming. See you at Indaba. ✈️

There are safaris — and then there are the ones that stay with you.

Daka Plains sits in one of those beautifully remote corners, within a private concession in Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe, where the experience feels raw, immersive, and deeply connected to the landscape. Fewer vehicles, more space, and a strong focus on being in the environment rather than just observing it.

This is where walking safaris come into their own. Tracking on foot, reading the land, slowing everything down — it’s a more immersive, more instinctive way to experience the bush.

For honeymooners in particular, there’s a meaningful opportunity here right now. One partner receives 50% off the accommodation rate (for travel through to mid-December), making it a compelling way to experience a safari that feels deeply personal and far removed from the usual.

And it suits the moment perfectly — long, unhurried days, wildlife moving quietly through camp, and that rare sense of space and stillness that stays with you long after you leave.

For those looking to begin a new chapter somewhere truly wild — this is one to lean into.

Not all Cape escapes are about wine farms and busy valleys.

Just a few hours out of Cape Town, the Cederberg opens up into something entirely different — vast, quiet, and beautifully raw. Think rugged mountains, big skies, and that rare sense of stillness that’s harder to come by these days.

Cederberg Ridge sits right in the middle of it all — a place to slow things down, breathe a little deeper, and reconnect with a wilder side of the Western Cape.

And, what makes it particularly compelling right now is the way the current offers encourage you to linger a little longer. Whether it’s a third night at reduced rates or extended stay value, it shifts this from a quick stop into a more immersive pause — which is exactly how this part of the world is best experienced.

Because here, it’s not about ticking boxes. It’s about slowing down, settling in, and letting the landscape do its thing.

It’s the kind of stay that works beautifully into a broader journey — especially for travellers wanting contrast, space, and something that feels a little more off the beaten track.

✨ 20 years of Caz at New Frontiers ✨

Today we’re celebrating a big milestone – Caz’s 20-year workaversary with New Frontiers Tours 🥂

Two decades. One incredible human. Endless contribution behind the scenes.

We marked the moment with a celebratory lunch and officially started a new NFT tradition: honouring every 20-year milestone as it comes along. Because loyalty like this deserves to be celebrated.

As Faith said, “Caz is part of the DNA of New Frontiers.”
We couldn’t agree more 💛

Here’s to you, Caz – and to many more memories made around the table.

Speakeasy Sip & Savour | Cape Town After Dark 🍸

There’s something rather delicious about seeing Cape Town through a different lens — not Table Mountain at sunset or Camps Bay with a glass of rosé, but slipping quietly through unmarked doors, secret passages and back entrances… password required.

Recently, a few of our Cape Town team (they are a tough crowd to please) joined Matt from Natural Wanders on his Cocktail & Speakeasy Tour — and the verdict was unanimous: this is not your average bar hop.

From our team

- “An amazing tour filled with historical facts, funky bars and lovely cocktails.”
- “The thrill of not knowing where you’re going, but feeling completely safe and guided.”
- “A mystery tour into decadent, hidden venues with seriously delicious cocktails.”
- “The ultimate way to explore some of Cape Town’s best cocktail bars.”

Think hidden entrances, Prohibition-era vibes, secret passwords, world-class cocktails and stories that reveal a side of the city most visitors would never uncover on their own. The venues shift, the mood builds, and the city’s after-dark personality comes alive — layered, playful and full of character.

It’s social, immersive and brilliantly curated — the kind of evening that feels spontaneous, but runs effortlessly.

Cape Town after dark has rhythm and edge. With the right storyteller, it becomes theatre. Reach out to your NF Consultant for more info.

✨ First Look: Lion Sands Ivory Lodge, Reimagined ✨

We were recently invited to a quiet first look at the reimagined Lion Sands Ivory Lodge, with Faith, spending 24 hours on site to see what’s changed and what still feels reassuringly familiar — and it’s nothing short of extraordinary.

Soft, soulful, and layered with detail, the reimagined lodge blends modern African luxury with an unmistakable sense of calm and connection to the Sabie River.

The bones of Ivory Lodge are the same, but the mood has shifted. The new look leans into soft, natural tones and layered textures, with small, thoughtful touches doing a lot of the talking— from in-suite smoothie deliveries, to interactive kitchen encounters, shared-style dinners, and a more curated wine experience… it all adds to that sense of relaxed, contemporary lodge living. An inspired Artist in Residence programme and beautifully curated spaces invite stillness and connection.

“The layering really is in the detail — the lodge is impeccable, the experience luxurious, but it feels soulful, not stuffy.” — Faith, CEO, New Frontiers Tour

We’re super excited to bring this back on line - and big congratulations to the MORE Collection team!

✨ Wellness Days ✨

We pressed pause to recharge, reconnect, and show a little love to the people who make New Frontiers shine.

From health checks and massages to yoga, sound baths, and an empowering chat on women’s hormonal balance — this year’s Wellness Days had us feeling grounded, grateful, and totally re-energised. 🌿

Because wellness isn’t a moment — it’s a mindset. 💛
