Thanks to Amalinda Collection for hosting Laurina on an educational visit to Matopos and Hwange
Laurina de la Rouvière, a Contracting & Product Development Specialist at Sense of Africa, was inspired by Amalinda Lodge’s unique Bushman’s Shelter structure and connection with nature. Exploring Cecil John Rhodes’ grave offered breathtaking views, while tracking rhinos on foot was unforgettable. At Sable Valley in Hwange, she cherished a magical moment in an underground hide surrounded by majestic elephants.

UPDATE: Full Day Cape Point Tour – TICP
In order to constantly improve our offering, we have modified our tour to exclude the Hout Bay Harbour, including the optional Seal Island boat cruise. This element of the tour no longer aligns with the standards and quality of experience we aim to deliver.
With this improved version, our guests will have more quality time at the truly breathtaking highlights along the Cape Peninsula. This adjustment allows guests to slow down, soak up the dramatic coastal scenery, and fully immerse themselves in the natural wonder of Cape Point — one of the most iconic and awe-inspiring landscapes in South Africa.
