We adore South Africa......

We ADORE South Africa! It really has to be one of the most spectacular countries on the planet, with dramatic scenery at every turn - add in fabulous wildlife, great cities, a lovely climate (rarely too hot, rarely too cold) and some of the best food & wine (we’re easily swayed!) anywhere, and it’s easy to see why South Africa is one of our favourite places!


All South Africa trips should take in CapeTown at some point - talk about an incredible city! The setting is stunning, with Table Mountain as its backdrop, plus there’s loads to see and do. We love the hop-on hop-off buses that will take you to all of the main sights, including the beaches of Camps Bay and the seals of Hout Bay. Be sure to head down to the Cape Peninsula – dramatic scenery, incredible flora & fauna, and all just a short drive form the city. South Africa is perfect for a Fly-Drive holiday, or we can also arrange an Escorted Tour, or just a few days in a couple of locations with transfers included if you prefer not to drive. Driving is easy, though, and this is where South Africa really comes in to its own.



One of the most famous drives is the classic Garden Route, but there are many ways to take in this area - we love including a bit of the Karoo region with its barren landscapes and quirky towns. And don’t get us started on the Winelands – anywhere that has a hop-on hop-off tram for wine tasting is top of our list! 


South Africa is also home to some excellent wildlife too, with Kruger National Park leading the way plus numerous private game reserves offering easy game viewing coupled with impressive accommodation options - anyone for safari tents with private plunge pools?! All in all it’s the diversity and natural beauty that makes South Africa so special - plus it’s great value for money, and did we mention the wine?! It’s a big country so don't try to do too much in one go, but we’re sure that you’ll be planning your return trip to take in another area of the Country before you’ve even got home!

San Francisco, Yosemite, Death Valley & Vegas Fly-Drive

By
We love the USA and one of our favourite areas is between San Francisco and Las Vegas , via breathe taking Yosemite National Park and unworldly Death Valley. Mark recently did this trip with a hire car and had an amazing time. Mark suggests starting in vibrant San Francisco before collecting a car and driving to stunning Yosemite national Park. Continue to Death Valley and finish your USA fly-drive in Las Vegas. The best time to travel is from April to September, when the weather is best and Tioga Pass should be open. Day 1 - UK to San Francisco Fly from London to San Francisco , arriving later the same day. On arrival into this amazing city, make your way to your chosen hotel, for I would suggest a three night stay, this should give you plenty of time to enjoy this cosmopolitan city. Days 2-3 - San Francisco Spend the next few days exploring San Francisco. Perhaps prebook our San Francisco Helicopter tour, the ultimate San Francisco sightseeing trip - witness stunning vie...

#TravelTuesday - One of our fave places to visit on a USA fly drive holiday - Death Valley National Park.

#TravelTuesday - One of our fave places to visit on a USA 🇺🇸 fly drive holiday - Death Valley National Park. Classic USA road-trip 🚗 country, Death Valley National Park is harsh and barren yet full of natural beauty and stunning vistas, with the lowest point in the US along with the highest temperatures ever recorded. Furnace Creek 🥵 is at the heart of the park, with points such as Zabriskie Point and Mosaic Canyon offering spectacular scenery. As you head north from Death Valley the altitude increases and the temperatures drop, heading towards the massive Sierra Nevada mountains. To the south, the Mojave National Preserve is the epitome of ‘middle of nowhere’, dotted with Joshua trees, volcanic cones and desert wildlife. This region of the USA offers diverse landscapes and stunning scenery - beware of seriously high temperatures in the summer, but for a few days of open spaces and desert scenery, include Death Valley in to your driving itinerary. We have some great USA fly dri...
