Greetings!

As winter draws to an end, South Africa is still experiencing some very cold temperatures and enjoying regular snowfalls in some of the inland areas. Hogsback has been a fantastic destination, and local South Africans have been visiting here over week-ends. 

The general feeling is that tourism seems to be picking up slowly and the summer season is looking promising. Cruise-liners are increasing along the South African coast. All the major ports in South Africa enjoy this benefit - ships stopping over to allow passengers to experience what the different regions of South Africa have to offer. 

Lyon Tours & Safaris is offering a number of tour itineraries through the Eastern Cape. The tours offered cover a variety of areas and experiences in the Eastern Cape. You can view a number of the tours that are on offer  HERE.

We would like to welcome one of our favourite establishments to our booking site, Mount Camdeboo Private Game Reserve. If you would like to experience true Karoo hospitality in a fantastic luxury Cape Dutch home with excellent service, this is the destination. They are still offering some amazing specials over the winter period, as well as great rates throughout the year. Mount Camdeboo has to be one of the best value for money destinations in the Eastern Cape. Book here now to enjoy this spectacular reserve.

Quartermains

 Quatermain's Camp is a classic 1920's style expedition camp situated on the Amakhala Private Game Reserve, just 45 minutes from Port Elizabeth. Seldom does one find an accommodation that gives guests the true feeling of an African safari camp. At Quatermain's Camp, this is exactly what guests will experience, the true 1900 safari experience that the old hunters and expiditioners enjoyed. The intimate 6-bed camp offers you the opportunity to experience "Africa under canvas", with 3 crisp white 1900's style safari tents fitted out with military campaign style furnishings, the choice of pioneers, hunters and explorers of that time.
