Q. Where in the world do summer holiday prices go down when, astonishingly, it is the best time of year to visit?

June 23rd, 2011

A. The Kruger National Park, South Africa

 

South Africa is one of few places in the world where the prices go down during the UK summer months – yet it is THE best time of year to visit the Kruger National Park, with hot but comfortable daytime temperatures of around 25º C and low rainfall so game is easier to spot as the vegetation is less dense.

 

Fleewinter is one of the UK’s leading operators and it has just created a special summer safari itinerary from just £1250 pp (2 sharing), including flights.

 

The 7 night Affordable Kruger & Panorama self-drive holiday provides a chance to explore the southern and northern Kruger regions, with accommodation located outside the park allowing you to not only enjoy day trips into Kruger, but also to explore the beautiful surrounding area.

 

The first three nights are spent at the Rissington Inn, a 4-star guest house with just 14 bedrooms and two family suites, on 10 acres of land and just 40 minutes from the southern section of the Kruger.  It is also an ideal base to explore the surrounding Panorama Route.

 

The second half of the week is spent with three nights staying at Sefapane Lodge in Limpopo Province which is just two minutes’ drive from the Phalaborwa Gate of the north section of the Kruger.   

 

The lodge is comprised of 31 fully-serviced rondavels (African huts) and 18 three and four star luxury self-catering safari houses.  There are also two swimming pools for a relaxing swim after a day on safari spotting the Kruger’s big game.

 

The final night is spent at Shivulari Lakeside Lodge en route back to Jo’burg.

 

The price includes international flights, car hire, 7 nights’ accommodation as detailed above, safari activities as per itinerary and some meals.

Fleewinter reveals two new Moroccan Gems

April 13th, 2011

Specialist villa holidays to Morocco operator Fleewinter has added two new properties to its portfolio – Kasbah Angour in the High Atlas Mountains and Riad Mumtaz on the Atlantic coast – taking the total number of riads and boutique hotels within its portfolio to over 200.

 

Kasbah Angour – which is only bookable through Fleewinter in the UK – is a converted Berber castle with 21 rooms and 4 suites – commanding panoramic views from its elevated position on a hill top, of the highest peaks in the Atlas including Toubkal Massiv, the highest mountain in North Africa.

 

The property, which is 30 minutes’ drive from Marrakech, has a large swimming pool and manicured gardens and is constructed from traditional Moroccan materials including red sandstone, clay tiles from Meknes and cedar wood from the Middle Atlas Mountains.

 

All bedrooms have under floor heating, air conditioning and large en suite bathrooms.  The restaurant, uses the best local produce from Berber villages plus vegetables and fruit from the hotel’s own gardens, and there are terraces for or a pre-dinner drink or to eat al fresco.

 

Local activities on offer include Marrakech tours, guided walks (half or full day), cycling and mule treks, all of which can be organised by the hotel or with Fleewinter at the time of booking.  Stays cost from £50 pp per night (two sharing) on a B&B basis.  

 

Riad Mumtaz Mahal is centrally located in the heart of Essaouira’s ancient Medina and just a short stroll from the beach and local fish restaurants.  The original building was constructed in 1880 and over the last 4 years has been carefully restored and converted into a stylish boutique hotel.

All of the riad’s 10 bedrooms are the same price but completely different in style – so much so that Fleewinter’s website has a picture of each so that people can choose the one they most like the design of.

 

Riad Mumtaz also has a spa, with a steam room and massage rooms plus there is a large atrium with a heated plunge pool and there is a roof terrace with views of the town and beach.  Rooms cost from £70 pp per night (two sharing) on a B&B basis.
