I'm excited to share my first posting with you on one of my favorite destinations. As the site of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, South Africa hosted one of the largest world sporting events. Even though the sport goes almost unnoticed in the US, the event draws fans from all a host of nations. I was lucky enough to plan a group to this facinating destination this year. My distinguished client sponsored a small group of high-achieving winners to the final match and safari at one of the best game lodges in the country. I love South Africa because of the vast amount of once-in-a-lifetime experiences available to each lucky traveler.
I have been lucky enough to have experience this exotic mecca on seven occasions myself. Each of my industry related trips had wonderful scenery, heart-racing game viewing and new culinary experiences I will remember for a lifetime.
They say the sky is larger on safari, and I really think it is true. There is nothing like sipping a South African Shiraz at sundown, while nibbling on some tasty bits (as they call them) and looking out over the African bush that seems to go on forever. It's really difficult to discribe the 5-star accommodations and service you get at private game reserves around the Kruger National Park. Lodges like Sabi Sabi, Mala Mala, Londolozi, Lion Sands and Kapama are just a few. You know your in another world when you wake up in the morning and find an elephant has left you a not-so-small present next to your private plung pool.
Apart from the charm of the cities in South Africa, the game viewing is by far the highlight of the trip. The photos attached, along with the banner photo of this site, are examples of the scenes that await you on every visit. I hope to share many more with you in the future.
