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.
The idea of setting up Pumulani was to offer a really good beach option post Zambia safari without the need to go to Mozambique/ East Africa. Pumulani’s main lodge building is at the top of a granite outcrop, from where the views of the Lake are breath-taking. 4 or 5 days here would be fantastic; I certainly didn’t want to leave!
Ethiopia does not disappoint. It’s the mysterious, exotic destination of my imagination and really does feel as though you are stepping back to the 12th century at times
Kariega River Lodge is a place where you can kick off your shoes and really relax. I liked the fact that there are so many different places to curl up with a good book, away from other people. Its also a great option for people who like to be on the go: with fly-fishing from the jetty, canoeing and even beach visits to the golden sandy beaches of Kenton.
Only the best African travel advice, tidbits and tours. No nonsense.
