There’s something really enchanting about arriving at Fairlawns Boutique Hotel & SPA. One moment you’re weaving through Joburg traffic and the next, you’re ensconced in an oasis of lush greenery!

Tracey and Laura had the pleasure of spending a night at Fairlawns pre-Indaba. To sum it up … it felt like “a gentle pause, wrapped in greenery, comfort and genuine hospitality”.

A visit to a local Maasai or Samburu village hits different at Ol Lentille. It's less about observation and more about participation, genuine immersion and interaction.

It's about getting a taste and insight into an ancient way of life in an authentic and respectful manner. And sometimes, getting your hands dirty...as Leanne and Laura experienced first hand when they chipped in to help some Maasai ladies build a new house.

Please note that Lush will be closed for from 1 June until 5 July 2026 for renovations in its main lodge areas to enhance the overall guest experience.

They will be reconfiguring and redesigning the outdoor dining area to better accommodate varying weather conditions and create more functional seating spaces.

The kitchen is being expanded for improved workflow and there will be enhancements to the food and beverage facilities.

Upgrades to certain roofing areas to provide better protection from the elements - as well as general maintenance and servicing.

We cannot wait to share the updates with you in July!

Zambia’s South Luangwa isn’t known as the “Valley of the Leopards” by chance 🐆

With its dense riverine forests, ancient ebony groves, and the life-giving Luangwa River weaving through the landscape, this is the perfect stage for Africa’s most elusive big cat.

Here, leopards thrive — draped over branches by day, melting into the shadows by night, and seen more frequently than almost anywhere else on the continent.

It’s not just luck — it’s habitat, prey density, and generations of expert guiding that make every sighting feel like a privilege, not a promise.

This is where the wild reveals its secrets… if you’re patient enough to look.

We cannot wait to welcome you to our new lodge and this wildlife hot spot when we open in mid July!

Indaba 2026 provided the perfect opportunity for our team to go an experience some of our partner properties first hand.

Tracey and Laura were lucky enough to visit The Old Rectory by Rare Earth Retreats - and explore a bit around Plett.

It is one of the town’s most historic buildings, dating back to 1777 - originally built by the Dutch East India Company as army barracks. Over the years, it has morphed many times over - from being troop accommodation to a rectory for Anglican clergy, and even a school before it became a private residence.

Careful restoration finally saw it converted into a boutique hotel that oozes heritage and character. As Plett’s oldest surviving building, it offers guests a rare chance to stay inside a living piece of South African history.
