South African Wine & Garden Safari!

“After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.” Nelson Mandela

Africa…the very name conjures up powerful images of savannas, rainforests, jungles, wildlife and adventure. On this small group wine, garden & safari adventure you’ll explore the lush gardens of Johannesburg, South Africa’s stunning national parks and visit the “spring time” gardens of Cape Town. In addition you’ll see first hand the dramatic landscape of the Cape of Good Hope and visit Mandela’s prison on Robben Island. Sip velvety smooth wines in South Africa’s premier wine region and stay in the Dutch colonial town of Stellenbosch. Your journey will culminate at the Bakubung Bush Lodge where you’ll ride in an open 4X4 safari vehicle into the bush with African rangers for an intimate viewing of South Africa’s lions, leopards, rhinos and elephants. A breathtaking post- tour adventure to game packed Botswana and thundering Victoria Falls is also available. Join local experts for the ultimate garden, wine and safari adventure and discover the best of South Africa!

Literary London with Gabriel Fawcett

“I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.” Oscar Wilde

Literary London for connoisseurs of the word! For Christmas 2011 why not wander through the streets of the imagination, linger in cozy taverns and ancient church halls, where some of the English language’s greatest writers lived, drank, ate and composed. You’ll be delighted by the unending connections between people, places and culture, and the insights we’ll have into great chapters of our heritage. For lovers of the word this will be an intoxicating start to the holiday season. London hotels are famously unaffordable, but this special literary trip will see you staying in small hotels right next door to Dickens and the Bloomsbury Group – an affordable literary treat, in the very heart of one of the world’s greatest cities!
