Rhino Notching in Pilanesberg: Conservation in Action
Our journey began in the captivating Pilanesberg National Park, a gem nestled in the Bojanala Region of the North West Province. Pilanesberg, renowned for its dramatic landscapes and abundant wildlife, offered our clients a rare and exhilarating opportunity: rhino notching.

Our clients stayed at the Winchester Hotel in Sea Point, an exquisite blend of historic charm and modern luxury. Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the Winchester Hotel provided a serene and stylish base for exploring the vibrant city.
Wine Tasting in the Cape Winelands: Savouring South Africa’s Finest
