South Africa is one of the most exciting wine destinations in the world—stunning landscapes, beautiful tasting rooms, and exceptional food. And the wine? Truly top notch. Not just “good for the price,” but genuinely world-class—and I don’t say that lightly. We’re wine connoisseurs. From classic Stellenbosch to romantic Franschhoek and coastal Hemel-en-Aarde, each region has its own personality. Reach out if you want help planning the perfect itinerary.

When people say they “want to go on safari,” they usually mean one thing: animals. Lions. Elephants. Giraffes silhouetted at sunset. The kind of moments that make you forget your phone exists (if that’s even possible anymore). But safari isn’t one experience—it’s a whole spectrum. Beyond game drives or walking safaris, two choices shape your trip: private reserve or public park, and whether the camp is fenced or open. Those details define how wild it feels.

At Last Word Long Beach, thoughtful hospitality and coastal calm define the South African summer.
