South Africa holidays have got to bring to mind adventure when you have such a backdrop to work with!  Each individual itinerary is special and is an adventure in itself.  Take one of the itineraries I am working on currently, staying at the magnificent Westcliff Hotel to unwind from your international flight you would never believe that you are in the heart of the city of Johannesburg - all those Jacaranda trees and views across to the zoological gardens where animals can be spotted beneath the trees!  This is a beautiful Mediterranean-pink villa-style hotel perched on the hillside overlooking the City of Gold

Two sets of dear friends have celebrated their 20th wedding anniversaries in the last couple of days and as I was looking through my lovely photos of South Africa, this photo stood out as a beautiful place to celebrate a wedding or anniversary in style!

Set on a wine estate outside of Robertson, about 2 hours north of Cape Town, this idyllic bower just conjured up warmth, colour, peace and joy.  We stopped for lunch on the way to the African Game Lodge at Montagu and had one of the most lovely lunches sitting outside on the verandah, or stoop as the South African's call them!
