City and Bush Breaks
Looking for short City and Bush breaks? A break with something different for a weekend or a week? Whether you’re a local or international traveler, escape your daily routine and feel the vibe of the city – or the tranquility of the bush.
Need a break?
Everybody needs a short break away from daily life now and then. Whether it’s for a long weekend, mid-week or even a week, the perfect break should do more than take you away from your daily life. It’s not just about relaxing, it is about feeding and freeing your soul. Our City and Bush Breaks are carefully crafted to combine relaxation with a bit of a challenge to your mind or your body. Challenge yourself to do something different than other people, see more than the usual highlights. Discover our country in a new way. Challenge yourself to not just visit a game reserve, but to actually help in conserving it.
Do this and you’ll not only get away from your daily routine, more than that, you’ll start seeing the world in a fresh, different way. There’s no better way to relax your body, your mind, your soul! Yes, it can be a bit of a challenge. The question is, are you up for it?
