African Beach Getaways

THREE ISLAND TOURS

As 2020 begins to draw to a close, collectively we are feeling the strain of the unexpectedness difficulty and sadness this year has brought. As with any new year, there comes a sense of renewed hope and new possibilities. By no means, will the clock strike midnight on 31 December and coronavirus will disappear along the with the year (although we wish it would). However, we believe that we will breathe a sigh of relief and begin looking for moments of positivity in 2021.

Included in this, will be the increased availability and safety of travel. There is not much else that brings as much excitement as that of planning and looking forward to a holiday. As we head into summer here in Southern Africa, our mind keeps drifting off to long beach days, warm clear waters and sunset cocktails.

Here are three island tours that we will be dreaming of as we head into 2021.

1. Tammy’s Ultra Luxurious KwaZulu Natal Safari & Seychelles Beach Break 

Destinations:

• Thanda Game Reserve
• Phinda Game Reserve
• The Seychelles

Highlights:

• Big Five Game Viewing
• Abundant Birdlife
• Ultimate Luxury Accommodation
• A Beach Getaway

If you cannot decide between a safari and a beach getaway, this is the tour for you! You begin your vacation with three nights at Thanda Game Reserve in South Africa. Here you will enjoy an authentic African safari with game drives, Zulu cultural and community experiences and exposure to wildlife conservation.

You then continue the safari leg of your journey to Phinda Game Reserve. Phinda is referred to as “Seven Worlds of Wonder” because it is home to seven unique ecosystems that you will explore with twice-daily game drives, walking safaris and river cruises. Here, the Big Five game viewing is exceptional and sightings of the elusive cheetah are spectacular.

Get ready to swap the bush for the beach as you continue on your African adventure. You arrive in the tropical islands of the Seychelles where you get to soak up the sun for 5 blissful days. You can spend your days snorkeling in the azure blue waters, doing a yoga class, or exploring the island on a scenic hike. In the evenings, watch the sunset with a cocktail in hand before enjoying delicious fresh seafood dishes.

This 8-day tour offers the chance to completely relax and put all the stress and worries of life on hold. You spend all your time on this idyllic island which is surrounded by more than 150km of palm-fringed sugar-white sandy beaches and lagoons.

While away the days moving between the warm azure waters and warm sand. Explore protected nature reserves, swim among bright, multi-coloured fish, observe the coral gardens from a glass-bottomed boat – there is always something to do. But if you just want to lie on the beach and soak up the sun, that is a perfectly acceptable way to spend a beach holiday!
