"Through travel I first became aware of the outside world; it was through travel that I found my own introspective way into becoming a part of it."
- Eudora Welty

This month we have dedicated to the beauty of love ...
With exciting offers for February, March and April, you and your loved one can indulge in a romantic break at some truly memorable properties.
Celebrate your love in the luxury of some of Africa's most exclusive destinations.
Those looking for a fabulous way to spend the 14th of February should look no further.

We have a beautiful selection of romantic ways for you to indulge your loved ones:

Johannesburg Hot Air Ballooning - Your adventure begins shortly before sunrise, where upon arrival at the launch site, tea and coffee will be served. Watch or participate in the process of rigging the balloon and inflating it in preparation for you flight. The flight will last approximately one hour. Upon landing, you'll celebrate in true ballooning tradition with champagne and orange juice, followed by a delicious breakfast. Each passenger will receive a commemorative flight certificate, honoring the ballooning custom practiced worldwide.

Cape Winelands Hot Air Ballooning - This is a unique adventure in the beautiful area of the Boland. Hot air balloon flights are taking place in the scenic Berg River Valley outside of Paarl, towards Malmesbury. A gentle ascent takes you well above tree top level and with a light breeze you fly away over fields, vineyards and orchards. All maneuvers are smooth and silent with the exception of the short bursts of the burner.

Champagne Sunset Cruise - A half an hour Champagne Sunset Cruise cruising the rugged Chapman's Peak and the Sentinel before you make your way to either Seal Island and the shipwreck in Maori Bay or to Noordhoek beach and Kommetjie to watch the sunset. Experience exquisite sunsets whilst sipping Bubbly and snacking on platters of Paté and dry snacks. Contact us to find out more...

The Cape Town Pride - Carnival of Love Festival = 15/25 February 2007 - This year's Pride Street Party on Saturday, the17th of Feb. promises to be the best ever! Cape Town's top electronics band Goldfish will be supported by Coda, the latest sensation in the city's live performance scene. You can also enjoy an exciting erotic fashion show and performances from some of Cape Town's most popular drag artistes. Apart from the action on stage, there will be a street market, a shaded side walk café and wine bar, and hundreds of fabulous people around. Contact us to find out more...

Lastly I leave you with this thought:

Luxury isn't found in things, but in experiences...

As a dedicated traveler, I have always felt that what matters in life is not what you possess but what you do. And that is why Africa is one of the ultimate luxury holiday destinations in the world.

Kind Regards
