I wish to thank you for your patience while I was out of the office attending International Luxury Travel Market – Africa, held in Cape Town, South Africa. This is a specialist invitation-only event, where the very best travel agents and advisors from across the world meet Africa’s most spectacular luxury travel providers. I met and
networked with local and international experts and was introduced to an unrivaled collection of high-end African travel experiences. I was among 81 attendees and only 16 from the United States. Once thought of as a largely wild and unexplored land, Africa is rapidly becoming the most coveted destination on the planet. Development continues to gain pace as travelers seek more and more ways to
experience it’s magic.

In the days leading up to my event, I had the pleasure of experiencing two private game reserves, Singita Ebony, a member of Relais & Chateau as well as Royal Malewane. Then in the wine lands of South Africa, located outside of Cape Town. I enjoyed several nights at the vineyard property La Residence in Franschook.

For those who have been on safari in East Africa, whether the Masi Mara or the Serengheti, the South Africa game reserves were different as the vegetation is dense and hilly. Every day we had a game ranger-driver and a separate tracker who work very hard and it is their skill and teamwork that results in game viewing. I was fortunate to go on my game drives with a master tracker, Wilson, who is one of only two working master trackers in Africa.

Please enjoy a few photos from my trip. If you have any interest in Africa, I would be delighted to help you plan your dream trip.
