Getting out and doing things is great – it allows you to enjoy new experiences, learn and get away from life for a bit. Do you know what is better than getting out and doing things? Getting out and doing them in style! It’s all good getting out, but if you’re not doing it in style, are you really doing it at all? This applies to your vacations as well. You need to holiday and vacation in style, because doing things big when you are abroad multiplies the fun that you’ll have – because you can access bigger and better experiences and do a lot more with your time and money. Save up and do things in style, get abroad with style and visit some fantastic luxury getaways.

Where will you head? Now South Africa might not be the top of your list when you think of luxury getaways, but you’d be wrong – dead wrong. It’s easy to come to certain conclusions about South Africa based on its history and some of the things going on within the country, but for a destination, it cannot be matched.

South Africa plays host to unique wildlife that you’ll struggle to find outside of the country. The Cape Springbok, for example, cannot be found outside of South Africa. This isn’t limited to animals, but all sorts of Fauna – like the Rhinoceros Bush and other plants. Wildlife is incredibly important to South Africa, and it’s a big reason why so many visit. If you’re into animals, you won’t want to head anywhere else. What’s more, the landscapes like Table Mountain are just as unique as the animals stampeding around. If you’ve got the money, you can also enjoy cosmopolitan life in Cape Town. This gem of South Africa plays hosts to a smorgasbord of restaurants like The Restaurant at Waterkloof, which serves up amazing French cuisine in the idyllic surrounds of Cape Town.

Speaking of Mountains, Kilimanjaro, in North-Eastern Tanzania highlights another great getaway destination. Kilimanjaro International Airport is where you’ll usually land if you want to take in the picturesque Kilimanjaro landscape. The African safari experience is legendary, and it can be found perfected in form across Africa. Including in Tanzania. Serengeti National Park is the most famous of the many parks within Tanzania and Africa at large and it is where most the luxury experiences in Africa are held, especially when we consider the Game Reserves. The Indian Ocean is also a bay of luxury in Tanzania. Enjoy paradise at this luxury private island, where you can snorkel and swim amongst the exotic aquatic life of the Indian Ocean. That’s if you’re not trekking up Kilimanjaro, of course.

The Segera Retreats within Kenya are known to be a hive of luxury as well. Set in a gorgeous 60k acres on the Laikipia Plateau, Segera Retreats is a real retreat in the heart of Africa. With jacuzzis, spa facilities, dining options and great food – this is a great place for a luxury safari. What’s more, it plays host to Africa’s biggest art collection. You can take to the air and the ground in private vehicles as well. This is a once in a lifetime experience.

Africa can be a luxury getaway, if you want it to be. Visit this gem of a continent  and visit it in style, you won’t regret it and you’ll make memories to last a lifetime.
