South Africa: Our touch of luxury African adventure
So many OTS adventurers had requested a Africa trip with a touch of ''Hemingway style'' luxury. It ran first in 2019 and was a stand out success. For many of our group, Africa is a ''once in a lifetime'' travel destination, and as such they want to experience it in a little bit of style. South Africa has it all, the vistas of Table Mountain and the wild Cape coast, the Wine-lands around Stellenbosch, the expanses of the Karoo, the accessible game viewing of the Kruger National Park, and all with great roads, superb food and wine, and comfortable luxury accommodation. Day 1-6 I am planning a great few days exploring the Cape region, the wineries of Stellenbosch, and the many dramatic landscapes towards Cape point. Each day we will head off in a different direction using our lovely ''Heritage'' style hotel as our city base. Cape Town is very Gay friendly, and there are a couple of nice evening bars and venues that we can visit, prior to heading north on our ''Out of Africa'' safari. Day 7-8 One of the great rail journeys of the world, we board Rovos Rail for 2 nights of "old world" luxury, winding our way north through the very heart of the country en-route to Pretoria. This ''Orient Express of Africa'' train journey has a couple of interesting stops along the way. Accommodation is twin share compartments with private bathroom, and the trip includes all meals on board. Day 9 On arrival in Pretoria we will pick up our hire van and drive west, with a chance to view the spectacular Blyde River Canyon where we overnight en-route to our private lodge bordering the Kruger park. Day 10-12 We spend the next 3 days exploring one of Africa's great national wildlife areas .Here we will stay in a wonderful tented camp on the very edge of the park on a ''full board'' basis, with morning and evening game drives included each day. Here we search for the ''big five'' and experience the African bush. ''Glamping'' in stylish permanent tents, each with en-suite bathrooms, great food and evenings around the fire under the African sky. Day 13 Today, after our morning game drive and a late breakfast, it's time to leave the game park and drive back to our final night's accommodation in Nelspruit. Day 14 It's time to say goodbye but not before some free time for last minute shopping or relaxing before your transfer to the airport. South Africa remains one of my all time favorite destinations. A fantastic South Africa Tourism destinations. It is unrivaled in its scenic beauty, the game parks are accessible. The people are warm and friendly, and Gay rights are written into the constitution. This adventure combines the great value our trips are known for, but at a higher end, with some great treats, excellent food and delightful accommodation. As with all OTS gay friendly trips you have to let go of the concept you're signing up for a tour, you're not, you're coming on an adventure , yes its a semi structured adventure with all the hard work done but it is nevertheless a adventure, things will go wrong some days, and changes need to be adapted too, you will need your wits about you, and to expect to do some exploring on your own. Andrew made a videos of our last trip and has said I can share it with you all. Thanks Andrew see below for Rovos rail and Capetown videos. Capetown VICTORIA FALLS ADDON For many people a once in a lifetime trip to Africa would not be complete without the inclusion of a chance to see the mighty Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.
