South Africa

We are concluding Jack and Jane's safari adventure with one post that sums up the magic of the Sabi Sands private reserve. Over the last 4 days, we've seen the most beautiful animals up close and were able to enjoy the most epic sunsets, sunrises and natural beauty of the Kruger. Thanks to my travel buddy @isaywhynot for making this trip one of the most epic adventures! I hope everyone has a wonderful new year ahead. 

This is the time of year we rack our brains about what to gift our loved ones. Just a reminder, the travel industry was hit really hard in 2020 and could use some support. I realize it may still be a little while until we can safely travel again but In my opinion, it’s fun to look forward to something and there is no better gift than an experience that will create lifelong memories. p.s. I tagged a few of my favorite travel companies in this photo!

We yearn for that which we cannot have. The freedom to travel safely and to explore new destinations.

Roughly a year ago, we were in Botswana, in a dugout boat on the Okavango delta, watching the natural hierarchy of the animal kingdom, being in areas where there were no other humans for miles and miles, watching hippos wade while the sun set behind us, and returning to a tented camp under a bright moon. 

Hi Yessa! Omg we had an AMAZING time!! Especially loved the safari. Can’t wait to bring our kids next time. Tobi and I were saying we can even do safari when we arrive, and safari again before leaving. Haha! With Capetown in between. Loved everything. Thank you so much for the great planning. Lucija, our Capetown guide, was especially good, too. She had so much knowledge to share.

YES !! We suspected you were behind the upgrade. Double thank you, Binky! 

Our Itinerary was very well planned. The experiences and exposure were unique and special in each stop. Everything has been smooth since Manila. 
Thanks so much! We’re in good, professional hands.

Big thank you to the whole Marataba team for making our experience a wonderful and memorable one. We and our boys enjoyed it immensely and didn’t want to leave - the boys had tears in their eyes as they had to farewell all the guides and friends they made in your staff. Special mention to Kim and JJ - not only for our memorable safari experience but also for the patience and attentiveness they afforded our boys and the passion and lessons they instilled in them. As parents, these are priceless lessons outside the classroom!

It is our first time in Botswana and Capetown & A2A made it so easy for us.

We are busy parents and this is the first trip that we did not plan anything and just let the experts do what they do best- to give us a well planned, relaxing and enjoyable trip. Their guides are the best, food is superb and itineraries are flexible and relaxing...  my husband and I really had a great time and for our next trip to South Africa, we will definitely contact A2A again.
