Game experience aside (which is a given), a safari is made complete by its team of staff. By the end of this mobile, I left with a heavy heart feeling like we were family. The same team move with you from one camp to the other, so as we walked into our new camp set up the only thing that changed was the location. We were greeted by the same familiar smiles, my bags were already waiting for me in my tent, they knew my regular tipple, and we carried on with the same camaraderie we had shared in the previous camp. This kind of mobile works brilliantly for families with teenagers who are old enough to get out and explore this area by foot and game drives and helicopter and fully appreciate the adventure. It is totally private for just you and your family and friends. Thank you Simon and for a truly memorable four nights and I look forward to weaving in this experience into many of our clients itineraries to Botswana. Next stop the Makgadikgadi Pans …..

As our clients all start to return home after their summer safaris, we always love to catch up with them and hear how it all went. This lovely feedback is from some repeat American clients of ours that we sent to three different camps in Botswana combined with a few days in Victoria Falls. Scroll on to take a peek at the trip we put together for this wonderful family. Thank you for the lovely feedback 😊

Spring is here in the Cape - a glorious 10km hike with friends in the Berg River Valley just behind Franschhoek, followed by a delicious Sushi lunch under the trees at one of our favourite unspoilt haunts

We love to weave a bit of adventure into our clients itineraries, and nothing ticks this box more than peeling off for a few days on a camel walking safari in northern Kenya. We have just been sent these fabulous pictures from one family currently enjoying just that. The wild landscapes, the cultural interaction with their Masai guides, the freedom of camping in the middle of no where all helps to build wonderful memories. Thank you to the Matthews family for sharing these with us. Photo credit

We love nothing more than to hear from our clients whilst they are travelling. Here is one happy family enjoying their surprise bush breakfast on their first day on safari in Kenya. “At el karama and it’s gorgeous! Exceeded all expectations….kids blown away by everything”

About last night …. I was kindly invited to attend the launch of latest six bedroom boutique hotel that adjoins their already successful nine bedroom hotel next door. This is the brain child of a fabulous couple who have created this stylish and contemporary masterpiece in the heart of buzzy Cape Town, a stones throw away from the restaurants and bars of Sea Point. Funky fabrics, beautiful local art on the walls and modern amenities all help to create a warm and welcoming ambiance at the end of a full days sight seeing around the mother city. Not to mention the rather fabulous staff, that help to provide the 🍒 on the top. For those looking for a stylish bolt hole and to soak up the vibe of Cape Town - this one is a gem. (The six bedroom hotel also lends itself to two families travelling together and you get the whole place to yourselves along with private chef). Congratulations guys and look forward to weaving this into our clients itineraries. Get in touch and let us start creating your next trip to South Africa.

Good morning from Cape Town 🤩 Came into town for a launch of a new hotel last night (more about that later …) and managed to scoop a night at one of my most favourite hotels - it’s hard to beat a view like this on a ‘winters’ day. Got a busy morning planned checking out a handful of gorgeous places to stay here in the city in preparation for the busy season ahead

Happy new year! It’s been a wonderfully busy Christmas / new year celebration here in South Africa with family and friends visiting and lots of happy clients now returning home from their Africa holidays that we have organised. It feels good to turn the page and start a fresh new year. Sarah James Travel has just opened up a brand new office in the Winelands (pics to follow soon), we have expanded our team to cope with all the lovely new enquiries flooding in for this year and our daughter Florence has just begun a brand new school year in Grade 3. Excited for the new year ahead … and keep following us as we continue to tantalise your taste buds for what an adventure in Africa has to offer you. Love Sarah xx
