Here's my Card
Kerry Collins, Managing Director or tailored travel company 'Here's my Card' tells us where the hot spots are to go in Southern Africa this season.
Southern Africa has quite rightly been termed “a world in one country” and as such, offers a rich choice for people seeking a luxury getaway in spring/summer. Kerry & Clare Collins from boutique travel consultancy, Here's My Card, which specialises in tailor-made itineraries to Southern Africa remind us that this time of year is the reverse over there but as such, still ideal for a luxurious beach/bush combo.
It is also sufficiently warm to enjoy a spell at a beautiful Mozambican beach with its clear aqua water, untouched coral reefs, and pristine white sandy beaches. We recommend Vamazi Island, with is 2,000 mile coastline, and Quirimbus Archipelego, consisting of 32 tropical coral islands. 10 luxurious sea facing villas are spacious and designed to ensure total privacy and are superbly decorated. Enjoy deep sea fly or shore fishing, scuba diving and snorkelling in the pristine coral reefs, romantic Dhow sunset or sip cocktails in the old Portguese light house. Vamizi, with its clear waters, abundant marine life and thick untouched corak reefs is a traveller's paradise and epitomises the phrase 'barefoot luxury'.
We also highly recommend Branson's stunning camp, Ulusaba, deep in the Kruger, where besides excellent “Big 5” guided game drives, 5 star accommodation and food, you can ride elephants close by, watch the African dawn with a champagne breakfast as you glide gently over the beautiful bushveld in a hot air balloon, be spell bound by the big skies and huge canopy of stars and replenish your soul by walking quietly through the bush with your ranger, experiencing nature first hand.
