The sweetest little elephants walking near the lodge with their mother. 🐘
They even gave us a friendly wave of their trunks.

Thanks to the team at Last Word Madikwe for capturing this cute family stroll.

Welcome to the era of Sleep Tourism. 🌌
For years, travel meant packed itineraries, 6:00 AM alarms, and returning home needing a vacation from your vacation. But a new travel movement has taken root: trading non-stop sightseeing for deep, uninterrupted rest.

"Sleep Tourism" isn't just about spending extra hours in bed; it's about giving your body and mind the environment they need to truly heal.

Away from city noise, surrounded only by the gentle rustle of leaves or the soothing sound of ocean waves.

Pure dark skies untouched by light pollution, helping your body fall back into its natural night-and-day rhythm.

"A hidden gem
Arrived at night driving from the airport and was a bit wary at the unassuming entrance. The suite was very large and comfy, but the magic started in the morning. We woke to the sound of birds, overlooking a beautiful garden and light streaming in. Then a lovely breakfast with a table facing the garden.

We had a car and were on a first leg of a golf trip later to Fancourt. Steenberg golf club is nearby and was a lovely day out. Other vineyards and the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden were also close.

Loved our 3-night stay which was in the largest suite - which was really very spacious and comfortable. Staff are amazing, and very well stocked drinks bar (honesty system) was a welcome relief after a long day out. This was a wonderful boutique hotel which we will come back to. Highly recommended."

Watching this pack of Wild Dog running in an almost synchronized line was pretty thrilling!
Driving alongside them, we felt a little bit like we were part of the pack for a second there.

Thanks for capturing this Matthew Wilson at Last Word Kitara.
