Right on the ocean on edge of the old part of Stone Town so great location. Lovely airy public areas with good sized pool. Much more conventional than Jafferji House so it would appeal to broader cross section. The restaurant had windows overlooking the ocean so great views.
Great atmosphere, friendly staff, well-run, good food, spacious rooms – Breezes runs like a well-oiled machine. Recommended for families and for people on a mid-range budget.
Baraza Resort’s style is very Arabic set in lush tropical gardens. It looks truly amazing at night all lit up – very magical and straight out of Arabian nights… This five star resort has a choice of either one bedroom villa and two bedroom family villas.
However what is particularly nice about Palms is that each villa has its own private βbandaβ right on raised beach area behind the main beach, with steps directly down to the main beach. Here are two loungers, coffee table and a double day bed which is screened on three sides for privacy and also protection from the winds.
As I knew it would be, La Residence in the Cape Winelands is in a class of its own. The place is absolutely stunning even on a cold wettish, winterβs day β so I can just imagine how lovely it is in summer. The Singita Grumeti of the Cape Winelandsβ¦
I had a very strong sense of having emerged from a lost world, and couldnβt quite believe what we had just seen and done. Truly one of the most amazing things I have ever done.
Dulini is owner-managed by a second-generation manager-guide and this is what sets the place apart. The rooms are more classic but no less opulent than those at THE most lauded and awarded lodges and the guiding and hosting is on a par. It really was top notch as indeed was the wine, the food and even the singing and dancing around the fire.
Kanonkop is perched high above the town with views in all directions through wooded hillside. You can just drive in with easy parking and then walk through the very well-tended gardens, past the pool to the house. It is tempting to just stop at the pool…
My 12 day trip to Namibia in January was an unbelievable experience for all my family. We drove all the way through the country from the south (Fish River Canyon) to the north (Etosha National Park) with my two boys in our double cab 4×4.
Only the best African travel advice, tidbits and tours. No nonsense.
