Located on South Africa’s Highveld plateau, Johannesburg is a fast-paced, creative city shaped by gold-rush history, cultural diversity and constant reinvention. Its atmosphere is energetic and urban, with contemporary galleries, rooftop bars and leafy suburbs existing alongside powerful reminders of the country’s past. Visitors can explore the Apartheid Museum, tour Soweto’s historic streets or browse vibrant markets and design spaces in neighbourhoods such as Maboneng. The city’s soundtrack shifts from lively jazz and amapiano beats to the hum of busy streets, while the scent of grilled street food drifts through open-air cafés and market stalls. Johannesburg rewards travellers who engage with its complexity and culture, though its size, traffic and contrasts mean it is best experienced with some planning and local insight.
NG12 Concession lies in the northern Okavango Delta of Botswana, forming a remote mosaic of seasonal floodplains, palm-studded islands, waterways and mopane woodland. As a private wilderness area, it offers an intimate safari atmosphere with limited camps and few vehicles, creating a sense of seclusion between land and water. Visitors experience game drives, mokoro journeys in season, and guided encounters with elephants, lions, wild dogs and rich birdlife across changing floodplains. Sunlight flickers across still channels, papyrus rustles in the breeze, and evenings bring the calls of frogs and distant predators. Camps are typically small and rustic, shaped by the shifting moods of the floodplains and the rhythm of the Delta itself.
