An African summer. Don’t those three words just evoke a host of associations? Unless you harbour a real aversion towards mosquitos or the sun, you would be hard-pressed to dismiss any of the no doubt glorious imagery that accompanies the phrase as romanticized or (God forbid) trite. Summer on our continent really is THAT spectacular.
Feel like supping gin and tonics on a plain surrounded by zebra and other curious wildlife? Perhaps you’d prefer to float around an infinity pool
overlooking a pristine landscape of mountains and beaches, or spot a whale from the comfort of your hotel bed? These can all be arranged.
If you’re one for the more subtle pleasures of life, we bring you the greatest destinations that will cater for your desire for breath-taking views, an abundance of wild life and adventure we’ve experienced this month.
Go ahead – join the great migration. Your mind, body and spirit will thank you for it for years to come.
