You’ve never been one to follow the crowd. You seek the unique and crave new
experiences. Beyond the borders of South Africa, there are so many places to explore
on our home continent for the intrepid traveller. Cruise the Nile as Egyptian pharaohs
did centuries ago. Navigate your way through the sights and sounds of ancient Moroccan
markets. Climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Unwind on a secluded beach in Mauritius or Mozambique.
Soak in the mineral rich waters of the Dead Sea, and revive your body with luxurious
spa treatments.
City Breaks
view
Each corner of Australia is so vastly different -- ancient rainforest in one, famous
wine producing regions in another, dusty desert adjacent to that, and ski-worthy
mountains and the Great Barrier Reef. It’s like you can travel through a world
of varying climates in one country. Geographically stunning and culturally fascinated,
Australia is also home to sophisticated, stylish cities like Brisbane, Sydney and
Melbourne, and the rugged, unspoiled beauty of Tasmania.
Experience Holidays view
A holiday in Asia transports you to another time, another place, different from
your own country, yet somehow similar. Asian people value the same things we do
– family, hospitality, and tradition. It’s a complex, intriguing continent
that dares you to unravel its mysteries and rewards you generously when you do.
Family Holidays

South Africans enjoy the simple pleasures of life – a ribbon of white sandy
beach stretched along a tranquil coastline, the colours of an African sunset, the
feel of the sun on our faces, and warm hospitality that begins with a smile. The
Caribbean is more than just islands. It’s a way of life and an attitude that
says, “Let’s enjoy ourselves here and now.” It’s no wonder
why the Caribbean draws visitors from all over the world.
Local Holidays

Its history helped to shape the world. It continues to impact our lives in this
global melting pot. Slip back in time in Europe to see how their history is linked
to our history both in big and small ways, from politics to food. Visit the parliament
buildings in London, then enjoy afternoon tea at Harrods. Nibble on authentic Italian
pizza at a café in Florence, or wander through the Louvre in Paris to gaze
at the world’s most famous masterpieces, like the Mona Lisa or the Venus de
Milo.
Luxury Holidays
view
Discover the splendours of North America, from the Rocky Mountains to the Grand
Canyon. Its scenery and cities offer the best of both worlds. Be dazzled by the
lights and bustle of New York City, or take a surf lesson along the California coast,
or visit Mickey Mouse at Walt Disney World in Florida. To the north, Canada is a
friendly, multicultural country that rolls out the red carpet for its visitors,
from the rustic quaintness of the Atlantic Maritime provinces to the cosmopolitan
sophistication of Montreal, and the picturesque rainforests of Vancouver Island.
Romance Holidays
view
The secret is out. South America has plenty to offer its visitors, and over the
last decade, the world has learned that fact. Argentina’s capital, Buenos
Aires, dances its way into the hearts of travellers with the tango, pristine scenery,
and local people that are anxious to show you what there is to love about their
country.

Lombok Adventure!
Tuesday 1st April 2008

Travel Counsellor: Jeanette Peace
Let me take you on a little journey to the Island of Lombok, off the south coast of Bali.
I started my journey in Legian, Bali and made my way up the south coast to a small fishing village and port called Padang Bai. This took about 2 hours through some beautiful lush countryside. It is far quieter than other parts of Bali and if not for the port, there would not be much happening here.
The ferries to Lombok are in and out all day and all night. Something is always happening around the port.
I was lucky enough to be there during a festival. All the locals dressed in bright and colourful ceremonial clothing looked wonderful. On their way to the temple to pray they played their drums and bells, sang and talked like one big happy family. It was quite a spectacle!
After a couple of days I was ready for my adventure to Lombok. The ferries to Lombok carry trucks, cars and motor bikes as well as the local people, food and fuel.
The ferries can take between 3 to 5 hours depending on the... view full story
