Hallo, Molweni, Molo, Sawubona, Dumela, Avuxeni, Ndaa, Howzit!

Whenever I've visited SA, it's not just the landscapes, the wildlife, or even the food that has left a lasting impression. Instead, it's the people of South Africa! This love affair began with my first trip during the FIFA 2010 World Cup (let's not discuss the England vs. Germany match!) and continues to this day.

I genuinely believe Cape Town is the best city in the world—where else can you find mountains, beaches, vineyards, wildlife, and people all in one place?

That's why we're thrilled to invite you to join us and experience South Africa, the Ikigai Camps way. Our promise to you is an authentic South African experience; whether it’s visiting the townships around Cape Town, enjoying a traditional braai (the best BBQ!), or walking alongside elephants, we’ll be doing it side by side with the locals.

Ready for a 'lekker' time?
