South Africa is a vast land of overwhelming beauty and spectacular contrasts. A mere 10- hour flight from the UK, South Africa is closer than you think. Most international flights depart in the evening, arriving early morning – which means after a meal and drinks, you can snooze away the miles until breakfast and time to land. South Africa''''s accommodation is varied in character and style - so there is something for everyone from luxury safariexperiences to boutique city hotels.
SA is only an hour ahead during the UK summer and two hours during the winter – so there’s no jetlag to disorientate you on your arrival (or on your way home for that matter). Moreover, English is widely spoken and driving is on the left – ideal if you prefer to hit the open road and explore the country at your own pace. The country also has one of the highest daily sunshine rates in the world and is blessed with a wonderful climate.
Hospitable and comfortable, Fugitives’ Drift Lodge boasts six picturesque cottages secluded in the trees, all of which enjoy commanding views of one of Africa’s most historically resonant landscapes. The Mount Nelson opened its doors in 1899 to provide luxurious accommodation for passengers of the old Union and Castle shipping lines and was swiftly acknowledged as the place to see and be seen in - one of the original South Africa Hotels.
