28 Apr A Romantic Retreat For Couples In South Africa’s Waterberg
Fifty Seven Waterberg was where we chose to stay for a couple nights, back in 2020 and then again more recently. It is really unlike any Big 5 Game Reserve lodge we have ever visited. Situated three hours away from the hustle and bustle of Johannesburg, within the secluded Welgevonden Game Reserve, lies a gem of a romantic retreat for couples looking to celebrate their love, safari style.

Although we haven’t (technically) seen many in the flesh…hmmm, as I recall now, only four come to mind – the Namib in Namibia, the Sonoran in Arizona, most recently the tropical desert in Ica, Peru, and the sacred semi-arid desert in our home country South Africa – the Tankwa Karoo (which this post is dedicated to).

26 Jun Wine Farm Hopping In Franschhoek, South Africa
Our motto and motivation is to “collect experiences, not things”. Whilst on our journey, we’re aiming to spend our time and money on spectacular experiences, to be left with incredible learnings and memories, not tangible objects.
