This is a safari with a difference – a wildlife conservation safari in the company of world renowned game ranger Gerrie Camacho, allowing you to really experience African wildlife rather than just view animals. There’s a chance to get involved in conservation work at the Ingwe Leopard Project, go wildlife tracking, take part in bush walks plus a visit to the Kruger National Park. Accommodation is at the Paperbark Bush Retreat designed with a mixture of African and colonial styles, dominated by an ancient Paperbark tree. You’ll also stay at the exclusive Sabi Sands Game Reserve.

Situated in a beautiful olive grove by a Berber village high up in the mountains, this relaxing guesthouse of 21 rooms has everything you need – a swimming pool, spa and hammam and fantastic restaurant as well as trips to local villages, mule rides and hikes in the mountains. Its traditional authentic Berber cottages offer cosy rooms decorated in typical Moroccan style with traditional furniture and warm relaxing colours.
