Luxury versus experiences of value.
As a result of my knowledge,skill and experience I have come to see a new trend in travel.
Some travelers want to experience the luxury lodging that Southern Africa has to offer,examples can be seen in our page on the Sabi Sabi Camps.
Luxury generally refers to the size of the lodging,unique interior design features,plus the amenities and services offered in a hotel,guest house or Africa Safari lodge.
However there is a new kind of luxury that people are after,and its based on the value of the experience of local people,culture ways of living and unique locations.
Bespoke,boutique generally denotes luxury defined as a value in monetary terms ie the cost and expected services.
However those experiences that offer value based on human interaction/activity generally do not cost as much as a luxury item,yet they leave the individual with an enriched feeling and memory,the value of which money cannot buy.
Stephen has a specialty in the rural cultural village area of the Eastern Cape where Nelson Mandela came from.
Example of a custom design tour that has value in the experience, 11 N In the Footsteps of Nelson Mandela
The Eastern Cape is where you can experience a village immersion experience or text version here or do a guided walk down the gentle Wild Coast (the “wild” name does not describe the trail) with the golden sanded beach’s warmer waters of the Indian Ocean and rolling green hills as your companion.
We arrange for your luggage to be shuttled to the next nights lodging as you walk.
Other unknown hidden areas of South Africa that fit into this different experience of value would be the Venda area,north and north east of Kruger National Park.
Much unique art/craft’s ie drum makers,wood carvers,fabric’s,it has good birding with a local national bird guide,village cultural exposure,local African type religious/spiritual church services.
Venda combines well with a visit to the Northern sector of Kruger National Park which attract at certain types of the year large herds of Elephants,Buffalo and the ever present carnivores as well as offering walking safari options.
Another area is the Northern Cape area which is located within the Kalahari desert,yet it has a large green belt of wineries,small towns that make up the 2nd largest grape collective in the world due to a major river that meanders through this area.
Along with that are some bushman experiences,and one of my favorite Safari parks close by the Kgalagadi Transfrontier park.
These wild coast walks,village experiences,the Eastern Cape,Venda,and the Northern Cape is what I call luxury experiences that add a different value which along with the more well known South Africa tour activities.
Some,all,or none of these these hidden gems of the South Africa travel landscape can be included into your custom designed South Africa Tour Holiday thereby giving you a wider range of travel experiences.
In addition adding a component like the Eastern Cape,Venda or the Northern Cape to your South Africa Holiday experience gives you the opportunity to participate and contribute to sustainable tourism at its highs level.
The Colorful Bo Kaap area of Cape Town where we can arrange a local home Cape Malay cooking class.
This works well with a early Table Mountain visit followed by preparing then eating some local culinary dishes,followed by a Cape Town city tour that can include some walking or a coach driven tour.
