		<description><![CDATA[Set in seclusion on the side of a hill overlooking a valley, the uniquely private nature of Lalibela Game Reserve’s Inzolo Lodge proved to be its undoing after much-needed rains arrived on the reserve and blocked access to the lodge. But, with a bit of ingenuity and teamwork, Inzolo Lodge is ready once again to welcome guests. In October 2023, Lalibela Game Reserve experienced a massive downpour that ended an almost-seven-year drought in the region, flooding rivers and washing away the roads offering accessibility to Inzolo Lodge. Its distinctive hillside location made it impossible for the Lalibela team to use alternative routes to get guests to and from the lodge, and Inzolo had to be closed until repairs could be carried out. In the period that followed the flood devastation, while guests were accommodated at the reserve’s five other luxury accommodation offerings, the Lalibela team set out rebuilding the roads and constructing a series of small bridges over the rivers. Within a month, access had been restored, and guests are now being welcomed back in time for the peak season. ‘We’re excited to welcome our guests back to Inzolo Lodge to share the beauty of the space,’ said Johann Lombard, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There’s something entirely mesmerizing about sitting quietly hidden inside a hide at a waterhole, even if you’re not a professional photographer or twitcher. Today’s hide tends to be more luxurious with eminently more comfortable seating – and in Molori’s case, a gin tasting if you wish. What more could you want? Game viewing from vehicles at waterholes is one thing, but sitting safely inside a hidden hide where animals drift by unawares is a completely different and thoroughly enriching experience. Positioned to take advantage of morning and evening light, Molori Safari’s new sunken hide in Madikwe has been so popular that it now offers gin and whiskey tastings. It’s a smart move, given that guests love to stay on and wet their own whistles when the game is there to have a drink. Molori’s hidden glass-lined dining and tasting area has beautiful views over the distant Dwarsberg mountain range and a muddy wallow nearby – often attracting animals who splash, play and roll, coating their skins in protective mud. It&#8217;s so popular that photographers or seasoned safari visitors to Africa will sometimes skip a drive in favour of some quiet time at the waterhole. May to August and even early [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cape Town’s latest foodie hotspot, Eye Bar at Vïb Cape Town, has added exciting, contemporary-style fresh sushi to its offering. Eye Bar opened in late December 2020 and is now serving patrons in its ground-floor bar, lounge, restaurant and open-air terrace, as well as on its scintillating pool deck that affords epic views over Green Point and the ocean. The newly introduced sushi menu at Eye Bar has been conceptualised by the popular sushi go-to known as Maaya. A modern and vibrant Japanese/Peruvian restaurant and venue, Maaya is located on Loop St in Cape Town and has become known for serving unexpected yet delicious fusion-style sushi. Maaya and Eye Bar have collaborated to bring you the freshest of flavours, whether it&#8217;s your favorite standard roll or an exciting new combination. &#160; In consultation with Maaya’s team, Eye Bar’s new contemporary sushi menu was finalized by the hotel’s Culinary Operations Manager, chef Johann Breedt. Introduced recently on 20 January 2021, the new sushi menu includes all-time favorites such as salmon and tuna rolls with avocado and Japanese mayonnaise, and the ever-classic panko prawn rolls. But from there it gets much more exciting. If you have a taste for adventure, explore a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The opening of the new Jaffer Modern art gallery in Green Point, Cape Town comes at a time when human connection and congregation are sought after but limited due to social distancing. The gallery has responded to the times by mounting an inaugural exhibition entitled GATHERING: A Community of Portraits and offering visitors the option of private, one-on-one guided walkabouts that are free of charge. GATHERING: A Community of Portraits was curated with the intention of exploring our deep desire to commune and to showcase the diversity, cultures and commonalities of the African continent. Expect to be captivated by a plethora of intriguing portraits selected by guest curator, Margie Murgatroyd. The multiplicity and diversity of artistic voices creates a variety of avenues and perspectives to be explored and discovered. Private gallery tours will offer insight into these perspectives while allowing for personal interpretation of the works and interaction with the guest curator. It is a wonderful opportunity to delve into the alchemy of curating an exhibition and simultaneously see the concept realised. The private walkabouts offer the opportunity to uncover the narrative of the exhibition through its various themes. From the importance of cattle to humans, to gender, identity, belonging [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Summer in Cape Town is all about soaking up the warm beach weather and lazing into long evenings when the sun lingers in the sky. It’s a time to relax, enjoy good food and appreciate life. With the sun and sea on our brains, it’s always been a favourite time to enjoy seafood. With this in mind, Eye Bar is catering to summer tastes. This new foodie hotspot in Green Point is great for “fast fine” dining, where you can enjoy a laidback meal knowing that it’s been prepared by a Michelin-trained chef.

		<description><![CDATA[After the traditional festive season splurge, household budgets are usually stretched come January &#8211; hence the nickname “Janu-worry”. The first month of the year always welcomes measures that offer relief from those all-too-tight purse strings, especially with February’s Valentine’s Day plans on the horizon. In addition to those typical start-of-a-new-year woes, January and February 2021 will be spent with lockdown level 3 restrictions in place until 15 February 2021 (and possibly beyond), which came into play from late December 2020. This means that we can’t enjoy the same recreational activities that we usually would, because all public beaches, pools and parks are closed and a curfew is enforced. This, combined with pandemic stress and concern for loved ones, means that many of us are still in need of a holiday! Good news, is that it’s still possible. If you’d like your partner to feel like the fairy king or queen from Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream, then treat your Oberon or Titiania to a budget-busting staycation at Cape Town’s vibiest new Atlantic seaboard hotel. Vïb Cape Town is welcoming guests with a dinner-bed-and-breakfast special offer that&#8217;s so incredible you&#8217;d be forgiven for thinking you were dreaming!

Situated on the stunning Overberg coast of the Western Cape, Hermanus offers much-needed respite from the world. Escape to nature and breathe the crisp, bubbly, “champagne” air along the spectacular Cliff Path &#8211; sure to revitalize the spirits. Hermanus has long been known as a destination for those needing health recuperating holidays.
