About Cape Town
Our Colorful Pre-Retreat Stay
"Everything about my first experience in Cape Town can best be described as 'colorful.' A palette for the senses and the most incredible array of different landscapes - from a hike at the top of the majestic Table Top Mountain, one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World, to the rainbow rooftops and streets in Bo Kaap and De Waterkant areas. We will feast on South African delicacies during a delicious food tour, meeting the local legend Marco of Marco's place. Dining on traditional dishes and learning about the culture through the Cape Malay spices, you will see how vastly diverse Cape Town really is. And then the poignant and moving moment of taking a boat ride to Robben Island for a tour of where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned, led by one of his cellmates. Finally, a fun night out at Gold, the vibrant and percussive Africa restaurant that will have you moving your feet.
We will be staying at AC Hotel by Marriott Waterfront.
Suffice it it say, you too will fall in love with Cape Town. I didn't want to leave... and I can't wait to go back." - Chaz
ACCOMODATIONS:
Didima Resort
Located in the Drakensberg mountain range, Cathedral Peak borders the upper region of Thukela to the north and east, Lesotho to the west and Monk's Cowl to the south and covers 32,000 hectares. There is the magnificent Didima Valley with its many examples of rock art and its many trails.
Didima Resort with its unique style symbolizes the dwellings of the San people who once lived in these mountains. All chalets have an en-suite bedroom and a sitting area. All linen, towels and blankets are provided. The chalets have satellite television and fireplace. Tennis court and swimming pool available
Springbok Safari Lodge
Springbok Safari Lodge is an ultra luxurious safari experience in the Nambiti Big 5 Private Game Reserve, (a malaria-free game reserve in South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province.) Nambiti Private Game Reserve is home to the majestic Big 5, along with 40 other animal species, and close to 300 resident bird species.
Amenities:
- Each of their luxury tents have their own viewing deck with chairs, a king-size bed (also available as twin beds), a hospitality tray, complimentary sherry, safety deposit box, hairdryer and complimentary toiletries. All tents have an open plan bathroom with a double basin, indoor bath tub with hand shower, and a private open air outdoor shower.
The "tents" are beyond your expectations and provide the most relaxing comfort and rest after a long game drive. The culinary offerings will leave all "foodies" pinching themselves. Prepare yourself to wake in a dream.
Pumula Retreat
In Isizulu, (the provincial language) Pumula means “place of rest” and you’ll definitely experience this feeling as soon as you enter the gated property. Overlooking the Indian Ocean, stroll around the 5 acres of well wooded garden and find peace among the trees... and laugh with the cheeky monkeys. :) The garden blooms different colorful flowers every season.
Homey, warm, and inviting, Pumula Retreat offers a large lounge for one to relax, unwind, read books, or even play one of the music instruments. The upstairs area has a covered balcony overlooking the valley, sea views, and a large back terrace to enjoy the afternoon sun. The nearby Umzumbe and Pumula beaches are beautiful and untouched. The bedrooms are spacious with ample cupboard space and have magnificent valley and sea views. All the rooms have a kettle with tea, filtered water, ceiling fans, organic soap and fresh towels.
The owners Lucie and Scott couldn't be more gracious or accommodating. Yummy vegetarian meals will be prepared with so much love by Lucie, and her husband Scott will be firing up the grill for a BBQ. :) They will also serve as our knowledgeable guides as we journey together through the many beautiful areas of Kwazulu Natal. Chaz can't wait to hug these two friends again. :)
"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."
