Holiday to South Africa & Mauritius
Nicolette Qubain, 29th October 2025This was truly the best trip of my life. Every detail was seamless, perfectly balanced between adventure, rest, and luxury. From the incredible accommodations and attentive staff to the breathtaking scenery and thoughtfully planned itinerary, everything exceeded my expectations. Beyond just travel, this experience was deeply healing for me after a difficult year. I came back feeling grounded, inspired, and like a completely different person. Africa has easily become my favorite destination, and I’m already planning my return for 2026 - next stop, Kenya!
Accommodation Visited
The Clarendon Bantry Bay
“The Clarendon Bantry Bay felt so homey and personal, the perfect place to unwind after long days exploring Cape Town. The staff were incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable; by the end of my stay, they truly felt like friends. The atmosphere had a relaxed, boutique charm that made it feel more like staying in someone’s beautiful coastal home than a hotel.
If I had to note one thing, the rooms could use a slight update to match the high level of service and ambiance, but overall, it was such a special and welcoming experience that I’d absolutely stay here again.”
Dulini River Lodge
“Absolutely incredible in every aspect, a true 10/10 experience. The lodge itself is breathtaking, with beautifully designed rooms that perfectly blend luxury and comfort. The staff were beyond amazing - so warm, genuine, and attentive that they made every moment feel special.
The food was exceptional, easily some of the best I’ve ever had while travelling, and every detail of the stay was handled with such care. From the game drives to the personalised touches throughout, Dulini exceeded every expectation. Truly unforgettable, I can’t wait to return one day.”
InterContinental Johannesburg O.R. Tambo Airport
LUX* Grand Baie Mauritius
“A stunning resort with exceptional food and beautiful design throughout. Every detail felt modern, vibrant, and thoughtfully curated — from the dining experiences to the serene beach views. The service was excellent, and the overall atmosphere perfectly balanced relaxation and luxury.
Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Mauritius - it’s the ideal mix of elegance, comfort, and island beauty.”
Staff Review
“Jessica Maybery and the entire Mahlatini team were absolutely exceptional from start to finish. Jessica went above and beyond to understand what I needed, crafting a trip that was not only seamless and well-balanced but also deeply meaningful on a personal level. Every detail was perfectly handled, communication was always timely and clear, and I felt fully supported before, during, and after my travels.
It was the most effortless and stress-free travel experience I’ve ever had, and I can’t thank Jessica and the team enough for creating something so special. I’ve already referred several friends to Mahlatini after sharing my trip, and I’ll absolutely be booking my next Africa adventure through you.”
