After morning breakfast we will be collected by James Fernie, a passionate and driven man that works with
NGO’s helping to build impoverished communities in the Cape. We will visit some of the projects that are
dear to his heart and will surely warm your heart too. His NGO is called ‘Uthando’ which means love, and
that is clearly emulated in the work he does. We return to the Villa before heading to Hout Bay for lunch on
the dockside. The afternoon will be taken up by visiting a local lady by the name of Gamidah, she lives in an
area of Cape Town known as the ‘Bo-Kaap’, a slave descendant community that settled there after slavery
was abolished in 1806. Muslim by faith and nurturing by nature, she will take us around her area by foot
before ending the experience with dinner cooked in her house using age old recipes pasted down through
generations. This culinary treat shows how the mother is the backbone of these communities. Because this
is a Muslim household, no alcohol will be enjoyed with dinner, but we will return home afterwards to a drink
on our private deck overlooking Camps Bay & The Twelve Apostles, with time to reflect on the days
happenings

Luxury Tented Lodge Accommodation
Settlers Drift *****
Kariega Game Reserve
Eastern Cape
Located in a remote and untouched part of the Kariega
wilderness, Settlers Drift offers a unique tented safari
combined with 5-star luxury. The lodge consists of 9 spacious
tented suites, each with stunning views and secluded viewing
decks. Gazing down from the decks overlooking the
Bushman’s River, it feels as if time has stood still since the last
feet to have touched this remote valley were those of the 1820
Settlers as they guided their wagons across the river. The
luxuriously appointed and perfectly positioned tented lodge
delivers the ultimate guest experience.
