An African safari is one of the most valuable investments that you can make. It is a physical journey that gathers spiritual and emotional wealth. At its completion, you are left with a brimming cache of wonderful memories. It is the 'portfolio of your life' that we are measuring.

A journey to Africa increases its real value by immense leaps and bounds. Africa, the cradle of civilization, entices all of your senses with the greatest treasures this planet has to offer. Watch the sleek leopard hunt its prey from the trees; Hear the rumble across the savanna of the Great Migration; Taste the sweet bouquet of South African wine off the vine; Smell the fresh rains as you trek across the mountain forests; Feel the mists from the 'Smoke That Thunders'.

The Townhouse is set in a surprisingly tranquil corner of the city center adjacent to the South African Parliamentary precinct and the historic oak-lined avenues of the famed Dutch East India Company Gardens. Though it offers 4-star comforts and amenities decidedly more 21st century, the Townhouse Hotel is still an intimate, individualized hotel experience, with just 106 selected en-suite rooms.

Nkomazi Private Game Reserve

With its towering ancient mountains to its broad river valleys, the reserve offers impressive grasslands containing countless animals and rare flora. This area is often referred to as the holy grail of geology with some of the oldest rock forma- tions. Stretching over 15,000 hectares, Nkomazi is a place where guests can experience tranquility, Nkomazi boasts 10 luxury tents with bathrooms en-suite.
