New From Wilderness Safaris: Bisate Lodge in Rwanda. Luxury Travel Advisor. Craig Beal and Jeanie Fundora of Travel Beyond, a luxury tour operator that specializes in Africa, feel that a luxury visit to Botswana should always include time in the Okavango Delta or the Moremi Game Reserve.

Luxury Travel Advisor

The Okavango Delta is an ecosystem that almost completely surrounds the Moremi Game Reserve. (For the record, most of the Moremi is the Okavango Delta, but there are also private areas.) Beal adds that he almost always recommends an additional stay in the private Linyanti Concession or Selinda Reserve, and, weather permitting, a stay in the Kalahari Desert at the Makgadikgadi Pans. Leslee Hall, North American representative of the Botswana Tourism Board, says that Botswana is working hard to position itself as a model of sustainable tourism, and the luxury properties are at the forefront of this movement. Luxury Travel Advisor. Now that KLM is offering direct flights from Amsterdam, Netherlands, to Lusaka, Zambia, the country’s exclusive and private safari camps are easier than ever to reach.

I can sell these two countries to the same affluent clients I send to Kenya and Tanzania. The quality our clients want is there. Just Back from Southern Africa. It is said that “You can leave Africa, but Africa will never leave you.”

Just Back from Southern Africa

Its majesty captures your eye and your soul, starting in the cosmopolitan cities and extending to the vast wild of the bush. Upon arrival on my favorite continent, I checked into the posh and contemporary One&Only Cape Town. Situated on a small private island, its spa is my private heaven. My jet lag was quickly vanquished by two vitality pools with submerged, air massage recliners and I was ready for my adventure in Africa. After a good night’s sleep, my travel companions and I—we call ourselves Friends that FAM—made the 20-minute drive to The Cellars-Hohenort in Constantia Valley.

Family Activities in South Africa’s Cities. While South Africa’s camps and lodges are quite rightly famous for top-notch accommodations and wildlife, the country’s cities also have some wonderful activities and attractions for families.

Family Activities in South Africa’s Cities

We checked in with two luxury Africa specialists to get their insights on what to see and do in and around Johannesburg and Cape Town. Here’s what they had to say: Family Travel to Africa. THE RESIDENCE ZANZIBAR features a glass-walled swimming pool overlooking the ocean.

Family Travel to Africa

Here’s a way to explore two different countries with plenty to offer children, parents and grandparents alike. Start off from New York’s JFK International Airport or Washington Dulles and fly South African Airways to Johannesburg, South Africa. From there, it’s a two-hour flight to Nelspruit, the nearest public airport to the massive Kruger National Park in the northeastern part of the country.

Singita Sabi Sand, South Africa. Africa’s New Luxury Camps. MARA PLAINS has seven tents with large lounge areas.

Africa’s New Luxury Camps

As Sub-Saharan Africa becomes easier to reach, more high-end camps are opening in a range of environments. Here are three new properties (and major overhauls of existing lodges and camps) that are perfect for getting close to nature in style. Namiri Plains Namiri Plains opened under the Asilia Africa portfolio on July 1 in a section of Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park that has been closed to the public for cheetah research for the last 20 years. As such, the camp (which is 45 miles from any other development) has a great population of big cats, and one of the highest density of cheetah in East Africa. Luxury Travel Advisor. Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff, Johannesburg From the posh cliffside perch of South Africa’s first Four Seasons Hotel, everything is green as far as the eye can see; palm tree-lined streets give way to the largest human-made forest in the world, seven million trees deep, a verdant landscape that dazzles even longtime city residents.

“It’s so beautiful here,” a waiter at the hotel’s Flames restaurant confides, “you’d think it was Cape Town.” Johannesburg, the economic center of South Africa, always seems to be cast as ugly stepsister to cosmopolitan Cape Town, but with the opening of this international luxury hotel and a newly revitalized downtown, Jo’burg is writing its own Cinderella story. And the Four Seasons is acting in the role of fairy godmother, a revitalized crystal palace crowning the city. When booking clients, note that rooms in the Melville residences have the best views, called “Zoo” views since they face the Jo’burg Zoo located in the city forest.
