Magreth is back from Cape Town, and on this episode, she shares the experiences that stood out most from her trip.
From the views of Table Mountain and a morning among the vineyards of Stellenbosch to seafood, oysters, the V&A Waterfront, and time by the beach, Magreth takes us through some of her favorite moments in Cape Town.
She also talks about what surprised her, what she wishes she had known before visiting, how weather can affect your plans, staying aware while exploring the city, and the experiences she didn't have time to fit in.

The 4 Ways to Explore the African Bush on Foot (And Where to Do Each One)
"Walking safari" isn't one activity, it's four completely different experiences, and most travelers only ever hear about one of them.
In this episode, Baraka breaks down the guided nature walk, the tracking safari (built for guests 16 and up), the rare Big Five walking safari with specialist guides, and fly camping, where you spend the night out in the bush instead of heading back to camp.
Baraka and Magreth also cover where each version happens on the ground: Tanzania's Ngorongoro Highlands, Tarangire, Nyerere and Ruaha, the conservancies bordering Kenya's Maasai Mara, South Luangwa in Zambia (where walking safaris got their start), and the Makgadikgadi Pans in Botswana for a walk built around landscape rather than wildlife.
If one of these sounds like the trip you actually want, use our Safari Builder tool to start shaping it yourself, or book a free discovery call with one of our planners and tell them exactly which walk you're drawn to.

Why September Decides Your December Safari and Your 2027 Trip #africansafari #safaritips
It sounds like a contradiction. ..
Some people email asking if it's too early to plan a safari for 2027. Others email the same week asking if it's too late to book for this December.
Baraka explains why both are true at once, and why September is the month that actually matters for each.
Calving season in Ndutu runs December through March, and the small camps positioned right in that zone (some with only six or eight tents) are already tightening up. That's a near-term clock, and it moves in weeks, not months.
Peak migration season for 2027 is a different clock entirely. The camps near the classic July through October corridor book out 12 to 18 months ahead, which means September 2026 isn't early. It's exactly on schedule.
Baraka also breaks down "strategic splurging," how to build a genuinely great safari on a real budget without the six or seven most in-demand camps during their busiest weeks.
