Marula Hill
Start here
If you're new, start here.
Six pieces from the journal. The ones we'd hand you if you walked into the office and asked what kind of safari company we actually are.
They aren't a checklist. They are how we think.
Read in order, or wander.
Vikki & Sian
These are the six we keep sending to first-time visitors. Not necessarily our most-read.
Lodges aren't hotels.
A lodge doesn't sell you a room. It sells you access to the wilderness around it.
Cape Town, after.
The bush gives you a piece of South Africa. Cape Town gives you the rest.
The whole family, one address.
One villa, one vehicle, one guide. The seventy-five-year-old and the seven-year-old, both at home.
A safari for one.
Why a safari is the easiest way to travel alone, especially as a woman.
A safari by birdsong.
Seven hundred and fifty bird species. Carmine bee-eaters in their thousands. A different way to read the bush.
Yours, for the week.
When the vehicle waits for you and the chef knows your name.
Start a conversation.
When you are ready to plan something specific, or want to talk it through. No deck. No pressure.
Stay in touch, slowly.
One letter a month. The bush as it stands. No marketing.
