What makes us unique?

When different generations in the same family travel together, there are multiple considerations to take into account, and it significantly changes the feel of the trip. When parents, children, and grandparents explore a foreign destination together, the experience becomes extraordinary and magical. It becomes less about seeing everything and more about sharing the time. New Zealand lends itself well to that kind of travel. The country has wide open spaces with breathtaking landscapes. An inevitable consequence is that families have more time for conversations when everyone is away from the routines of home. Over the years, I have seen many more families choosing to travel this way, and even though every generation approaches travel differently, they all appreciate the value of time together and a shared experience. One person may want to go exploring early in the morning, while someone else prefers a slower start to the day, but the rhythm of a new adventure brings people together in surprising ways. Rest assured, when a journey works well, there is room for all of those preferences. Allowing everyone space Families don’t have to spend every moment together; everyone can enjoy the vacation in their own way. This is why the

For decades, all-inclusive safaris have followed the same schedule. Pre-dawn wake-up calls. Game drives that leave on time whether you’re ready or not. Structured mealtimes. Planned downtime. Communal meals. It’s a structure most accept as part of the deal. But what if that’s not the way a safari is meant to be enjoyed? As a born and bred South African, the safari holiday isn’t once-in-a-lifetime for me. It’s something of a routine. An annual, or even more frequent, event. And to be honest I’d never really questioned its structure. But during a recent stay at an ultra-luxury private villa in South Africa’s Madikwe Game Reserve, I experienced something that felt fundamentally different from any safari I’d done before. It wasn’t just more exclusive or more indulgent, it was freer. Unscripted. Almost deliberately anti-safari in the way it dismantled everything I’d come to expect. A safari without a schedule Sure, at some of South Africa’s biggest game reserves, you can self-drive, self-cater and set your own safari schedule. But if you’re after the trimmings that the quintessential all-inclusive safari offers then you’re pretty much bound by a daily schedule that isn’t your own. In the past it was ideal, expected even,
