A day to remember in Johannesburg & Soweto! 🇿🇦

On 30 October, I had the pleasure of welcoming 13 travellers from the USA and showing them the beauty, history, culture and vibrant spirit of Johannesburg and Soweto.

Sharing our city’s stories, heritage and hidden gems with visitors from across the world is always special. But knowing that you’ve helped create memories that will last a lifetime makes it even more rewarding. 🥰

One of the lovely messages I received afterwards:

“We had a great time, thanks for the tour. This was an experience of a lifetime and you helped to make it happen.💕”

Feedback like this makes everything worthwhile! ❤️

Thank you to all 13 travellers for allowing me to be part of your South African adventure. I hope you take a little piece of Johannesburg and Soweto home with you! 🇿🇦

Come as visitors, leave with memories! ✨

Three unforgettable days exploring the beauty of South Africa! 🇿🇦

What a wonderful three days Lucille had with Suzanne, visiting all the way from Napa, California, USA! We packed so many special experiences, beautiful moments, and plenty of laughter into one incredible weekend.

*Friday – Culture & Wildlife*
We started our adventure at Lesedi Cultural Village, where Suzanne discovered the richness of South Africa’s diverse cultures. The highlight of her visit? The traditional dancing! 💃🏽 She absolutely loved it! From there, we made our way to Glen Afric for their unforgettable elephant experience. 🐘 Suzanne was completely in awe, and it was so special to see her excitement!

🛍️ *Saturday – Shopping & Soweto*
Saturday was all about exploring, shopping, and soaking up the local atmosphere at Victoria Yards, before heading off to the vibrant and historic streets of Soweto. A perfect mix of local creativity, culture, and South African spirit!

*Sunday – Five-Star Hospitality & Local Treasures*
Suzanne treated me to the most amazing breakfast at her hotel, African Pride, Melrose Arch. She had been singing their praises, and now I completely understand why! The staff were absolutely incredible, providing exceptional service and going above and beyond to make the experience special. Hospitality at its finest! 👏

We rounded off our weekend with even more local retail therapy at the Rosebank Roof Market, supporting local traders and discovering some beautiful South African treasures. 🇿🇦🛍️

Three days filled with culture, wildlife, shopping, delicious food, exceptional hospitality, and wonderful memories. It was such a pleasure sharing a little piece of our beautiful country with Suzanne!

Thank you, Suzanne, for the lovely memories, the laughter, and such a special weekend!
Here’s to many more adventures and friendships that cross borders! 🌍🥂

A beautiful Tuesday exploring the best of South Africa! 🇿🇦

On Tuesday, Lucille had the pleasure of taking Tuyet and Christopher, visiting from Florida, USA 🇺🇸, shopping for beautiful local quilting fabrics. They were absolutely in awe of the stunning variety of fabrics we have here in South Africa! 🧵

We then spent the afternoon at the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden, where Chris was truly in his element! As a hobbyist who grows cycads, he was fascinated by the beautiful plant life and the opportunity to explore such a special place.

A wonderful day filled with local treasures, nature, and sharing the beauty of our country with visitors from abroad. ❤️🇿🇦

Earlier this week Lucille had the pleasure of taking a wonderful group of American travellers on the Classic Cradle Tour, and they thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

From exploring South Africa’s rich history and beautiful landscapes to getting a special glimpse of a film set for Shaka 🎬 — it was a day full of memorable moments and unique experiences.

It’s always a pleasure sharing the beauty, history, and culture of South Africa with visitors from around the world. ❤️🇿🇦

Thank you for joining me on this adventure!

Last week Lucille took clients to the Apartheid Museum today, and they were fortunate enough to see the new temporary exhibition, John Kani: A Living Legend.

Celebrating six decades of performance, playwriting and social justice, the exhibition honours Dr John Kani’s remarkable career and his contribution to South African theatre and beyond.

It’s a fascinating and moving exhibition that highlights not only his extraordinary body of work, but also the role of theatre in reflecting our history and helping us make sense of it.

We can highly recommend popping into the Apartheid Museum to see it while the exhibition is on. A really worthwhile experience.

🐆 A Day with the Cheetahs!

On Monday we had the pleasure of taking four American guests to the Ann van Dyk Cheetah Centre — and they absolutely loved it!

From getting up close to these incredible animals to seeing the wild dogs and also learning more about the centre’s conservation work, it was a wonderful experience and a memorable day out.

It’s always special seeing South Africa through the eyes of our international guests! 🇿🇦

Last week, we had the pleasure of taking two wonderful groups on tour, each with its own unique experience.

🍽️ Group One – A Night at Carnivore
On Tuesday evening, we treated our clients to an unforgettable dining experience at Carnivore Restaurant. They absolutely loved the atmosphere, the food, and the experience! They stayed at the Falstaff Hotel, where Manager Barbra and her team went above and beyond to make their stay special. 🌟
A huge thank you to the entire team for the phenomenal hospitality!

🦴 Group Two – Exploring Our Heritage at Sterkfontein Caves
Last weekend, our second group visited the Sterkfontein Caves, where we had the privilege of meeting Sipho.
Sipho shared his knowledge and passion for palaeoanthropology, explaining his findings and the incredible work involved in carefully uncovering fossils from the rock. His passion for preserving and sharing our history was truly inspiring.
Even more special was hearing that his son is following in his footsteps, continuing the family’s connection to this fascinating work. ❤️

Two groups, two very different experiences, but one common thread — creating memorable moments and connecting our clients with the people, places and stories that make South Africa so special. 🇿🇦✨
