The new 2025 Land Rover Defender 110 on off-road tyres isn’t a car so much as a mobile announcement that you fully intend to conquer whatever lies ahead.

As I sit in sheer admiration of the women shaping their own futures, smile in total delight at the wildlife that dances to their own tune, and laugh alongside the vibrant people who bring the magic of the Maasai Mara to life, I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. This is a constant reminder of the extraordinary tapestry of nature, culture, and humanity that makes being on safari so profoundly special – and Collection in the Wild is a powerful embodiment of how these elements can coexist harmoniously.
This is an innovative hotel with attitude and is impressive. It is the place you want to be when visiting Cape Town.
When I arrived at the Radisson RED, I realised that it is not just a place to stay – it is a vibe, where bold design meets social energy.

The best stories unfold in moments slow – In people, in details, in hearts that glow.
When Ahnasa Luxury Travel set out to craft my ultimate safari, they didn’t just look for luxury – they sought a narrative. A place where conservation and sustainability is not an afterthought but the beating heart of the experience. That’s why they brought me here – to El Karama Lodge, a safari written not just across the golden landscapes of Laikipia but in the warmth of its people, the pulse of its wildlife, and the thoughtful touches that make every moment feel both intentional and effortless.
In Cape Town, light is never still. It slides and fractures, sharpens and softens — bending on the cliffs, glazing the sea, spilling through fynbos and over the façades of whitewashed homes. On the slopes of Lion’s Head, above the turquoise inlets of Clifton, stands 21 Nettleton Boutique Hotel, a mansion seemingly suspended between sea and sky. From its terraces, the horizon unfurls in an infinite shimmer.
The drive to the property winds along Nettleton Road, one of Clifton’s most exclusive addresses, where palms rise like sentinels and the mountain presses close behind. The hotel appears with quiet confidence — stone pillars, arched windows, soft neutral tones that let light perform its quiet magic. It does not boast; it beckons.

Land Rover’s Discovery D350 HSE, the luxury SUV that proves you can mix muscle, manners, and muddy boots — without losing your British accent.
Let’s get one thing straight — this isn’t some polite suburban crossover pretending it’s an explorer. The Land Rover Discovery Dynamic HSE is the real deal: a 2.5-tonne, six-cylinder diesel steamroller that can climb a mountain, can tow a yacht, and still waft you home in quilted silence.
From behind the wheel, the Discovery has presence — the sort that parts traffic and terrifies shopping trolleys. It’s tall, imposing, and unapologetically square-jawed. You feel every kilo of its mass, yet somehow it wears it with poise.

A quiet revelation in the Winelands…
I felt a deep sense of respect for the generations who had walked the floors before me. Imagine entering a 330-year-old barn, yet now a beautifully appointed modern, fine dining restaurant on a working wine farm. Located on the Vergenoegd Löw wine estate just outside Stellenbosch, it is one of South Africa’s oldest working farms, dating back to 1696 and is just 30 minutes from Cape Town.

There’s something about the Cederberg that gets under your skin. Here, the elements of nature aren’t just a backdrop; they breathe life into the experience, shaping every moment. The earth, ancient and wise, stretches out in ochre-hued rock formations and fynbos-covered valleys. The air, crisp and scented with wild herbs, fills your lungs as you mountain bike through untouched wilderness. The fire of the sun ignites the sky in a blaze of gold at sunset, only to be echoed later in the flickering flames of the boma. And the water, cool and restorative, offers a welcome retreat in the heat of the day, whether in the lodge’s pools or a refreshing sip of locally sourced rooibos tea.

Step into a world where refreshing ocean breezes and elegant charm converge…
Arriving to the warmest of welcomes by an enthusiastic team, this small boutique hotel with just nine rooms feels as if we have arrived at someone’s country home. We are led to a deck overlooking the ocean, and that created such an inviting arrival experience that it made us feel valued and comfortable from the moment we stepped through the door.
So exquisite was the elegant entrance and lounge area with generous vases of fresh flowers, inviting plush sofas with deep cushions, that they beckoned me to sink into them and relax. The unique pieces of antique furnishings and soft, muted lighting created an atmosphere of refined comfort that blends coastal chic with laid-back luxury in the best possible way.
