Exploring Southern Africa & The Garden Route - 4 PLACES REMAINING!

Departing Friday 7 August 2026, this tour will be escorted by Maree McClelland who invites you to answer the "Call of the African Wild".

YOUR INVITATION TO TOUR

I am regularly asked where my favourite place is! My standard response is always, where I am at the time. However, when pressed for a “but where”, I always find myself coming back to Africa! It’s an amazing place and should be visited by all at least once in a lifetime!

One of the first things we learn as children is the African animals: Lion, leopard, giraffe, elephant, hippopotamus, zebra and more! The first time I found myself surrounded by these amazing beasts in the wild, it was an emotional experience. An experience I now hope to share with you on our Lifestyle – Exploring Africa & The Garden Route 2026 Tour.

The itinerary we have designed will take us to South Africa, Zimbabwe for the Victoria Falls, Botswana and back to South Africa to tour the famous Garden Route. These destinations will offer us a variety of Safari experiences – Chobe National Park in Botswana offers open plains and river flats abundant in Elephants and Water Buffalo. At Pilanesberg National Park, situated in a crater near Kruger, lions reign supreme. Our tour will conclude amongst the “Big Five” at KARIEGA, a private Game Reserve. Three quite different but equally amazing experiences.

There is of course more to Africa than Game Parks and animals. We will also take you there! Just 18 participants will have the opportunity to join this tour so answer the call and book early to avoid disappointment.
