African Holiday Destination | Travel Experience

“Another travel blog?” you ask. Well, yes. Because – for most of us, our favourite memories happen while on holiday. Perhaps it is because we forget the rat race, the job, the responsibilities & the dog at home (of course you got a sitter), & we focus on the things that really matter. People. You’ll hear us talk about people often, because – if we are truly honest with ourselves – life revolves around doing things together. Sure, travel is always fun, but sharing an adventure with someone is even better! Have you ever sat around a dinner table & listened to someone’s amazing (& often funny) travel stories? “The day we missed our flight & got upgraded to first class.” “That time we couldn’t get to our chalet, because a hippo was blocking the door.” “Remember when we slept in the treehouse & got woken up by the roar of a lion?”

Bucket List

What is a bucket list? Simply put, it is a collection of dreams & aspirations that we would like to accomplish within our lifetime. It is no surprise that when it comes to travel goals, Africa is usually on top of the list. Our beautiful continent dominates all bucket list destinations because of the spectacular memories & moments it promises! Africa offers its visitors a variety of experiences, including action-packed wildlife encounters, spectacular scenery, pristine beaches & exciting activities.

CITIES

While many people love to get away from the hustle & bustle of city life while on holiday, they often realize that visiting a city in another part of the world can be just as relaxing as a safari or a beach holiday. We believe that the best African cities promise excitement & relaxation in equal measure. You don’t have to worry about meals, because everything is available around the clock – from high end restaurants & cafes to cocktail bars & markets.

Our Story

HI, I’M LISELLE RAATH. Like many people, I knew what I wanted to do with my life when I was just 10 years old. A Hollywood actress. And like many of those people, life turned out a little different…But ‘different’ is what I have learned to embrace. See, ‘different’ also means ‘out of the ordinary’ - & this is exactly what I have found on my first-ever trip to another country. At the age of 19, I hopped on a plane, left my world & my ways behind & stepped into a different world where people spoke a different language, ate different food & showed me that ‘different’ is pretty special.

SAFARIS
