Buccara is a collection of travel experiences, a treasure of a moment, where people can find and define their own version of living fully.

THE MEANING OF BUCCARA
Our private collection of remote properties was created with the genuine wish of letting people once again reconnect with the beauty of nature and life. Buccara, meaning "secret place" in Swahili, is a travel experience boutique where the splendor of the world's most unique and different places makes for unforgettable, one-of-a-kind travel experiences. Sharing the joy of life is what we like to think of it as. Buccara has a collection of villas, penthouses, castles, yachts, and more to make your vacations memorable. We have been hosting getaways at these amazing locations for more than a decade, and every now and then, we stumble upon a newly discovered place that we find irresistible. There are no general rules. There is just a sense of comfort that can be best described as "home away from home". The breathtaking scenery, exciting stories, new friends, and the opportunity to enrich oneself. Discover the Buccara side of life.

Often called one of Africa’s most unusual-looking animals, the Blue Wildebeest proudly earns its place among the Ugly 5!

With its powerful build, shaggy mane, curved horns and distinctive face, the Blue Wildebeest may not win a beauty contest—but it is perfectly adapted to life on the African plains.

Despite its name, the Blue Wildebeest isn’t actually blue! Its coat has a beautiful silvery-grey sheen that can appear bluish in the right light.

Have you ever witnessed the magic of bioluminescence?

Along the beautiful coastline near Knysna, nature sometimes puts on a spectacular light show, as tiny marine organisms illuminate the water with an enchanting blue glow. Every wave, ripple and movement can create a moment of pure wonder beneath the night sky.

It’s a reminder that some of nature’s most extraordinary treasures appear when the world grows quiet and darkness falls.

*Please remember that bioluminescence is a natural, unpredictable phenomenon and sightings are never guaranteed.*
