<\/a><\/p>\nThe journey began with the South African Airways flight which the Nigerian and Ghanaian group boarded from Lagos and Accra respectively.

On their last day in the beautiful city of\u00a0George,\u00a0the guests visited the\u00a0Elephant Sanctuary\u00a0located at\u00a0Crags, Plettenberg Bay!\u00a0 The guests enjoyed a very intimate experience with the elephants as they got to ride the elephants taking in the view once again at an extended height. This time around, at the height of over 3,3m which is the height of an African elephant. Some of the guests also went on walks with the elephants leading them by their trunks.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Then, it was spa time at the\u00a0Simola Golf & Country Estate\u00a0set in high hills above Knysna. Here, they indulged in specialized body therapies and massages.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On their last night in George, the guests got treated to dinner on a boat cruise where they set sail on the calm\u00a0Knysna Lagoon.

The anticipation for what was to come was built on the 50mins flight to Capetown from George and the guests looked on in anticipation to what Cape Town had to offer. The first activity the guests embarked upon was to explore\u00a0Robben Island! Guests got the opportunity to intimately experience a segment in the life of one of Africa\u2019s biggest legends and Nobel Peace prize Laureate,\u00a0Nelson Mandela. They got the privilege of being inside what was his prison cell for 18 of his 21year sentence. They got to see the tally marks he made inside the cell as that was his way of keeping record of his time in prison. He counted the days stroke by stroke for all his 18 years of imprisonment in the cell.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Outside the cell, they were introduced to the limestone quarry where Mandela and the other cell mates had to break cement manually with sledge hammers every day for the duration of his imprisonment. It was a bittersweet moment as the guests gained increased respect and admiration for the African Icon.<\/p>\n
Vroom vroom! It was adventure time once more for the crew. In grand style, they rode on\u00a0Harley Davidson\u00a0bikes from\u00a0Signal Hill\u00a0to the wine lands located in Groot Constantia Landgoed Estate. Here, they were introduced to the process of wine making. Founded in 1685, It Groot Constantia is one of South Africa\u2019s oldest wine farms and a part of Cape Town\u2019s big 7 top attractions! Here, the guests enjoyed the offerings of history, culture and of course, the unique blend of centuries old, ultra-premium cool climate wines.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
No visit to Capetown is complete without a visit to the iconic landmark which also serves as one of the World\u2019s seven wonders. If you guessed\u00a0Table Mountain,\u00a0you certainly guessed right. Sitting at a height of over 3,653ft, the guests were treated to cable rides to the top of mountain as they watched on in amazement at the breath taking view of the entire city of Capetown! From the infinitely laid green landscape to the vineyards and surrounding mountains and hill tops the guests were held spell-bound.<\/p>\n

The 2-day\u00a0Cape Town Jazz Festival\u00a0was in session while the guests were in the mother city of Cape Town so they got the privilege of attending the festival. This festival plays host to thousands of Jazz lovers across the globe every year with world class acts performing on stage. The smooth rhythm and blues from renowned acts such as\u00a0Nomfundo Xaluva, Mango groove, Digable planets, Andra day, Camillo Lombard\u00a0and a host of many more ended their last night in the Western Cape Province.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It was a bitter-sweet exit as the guests ended their tour knowing that this was only the beginning of more adventures to come. From family visits to bringing friends and spouses, they all vowed to return with their loved ones as there are so many more activities available in the beautiful country. The accessibility and affordability that South Africa presents also helped seal the deal!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
