The train stops. The doors of Rovos Rail open onto the African bush. Safari vehicles are waiting. You step off and into the Nambiti Private Game Reserve — 20,000 acres of Big Five territory.
That is the ninth game drive on this journey.
The other eight are at Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi — Africa’s oldest proclaimed nature reserve. Two drives every day, dawn and dusk, through one of the most extraordinary landscapes in South Africa. Between drives, the terrace, the view — and needles in hand.
January is birthing season — lion cubs, elephant calves, baby wildebeest and impala just arrived into the world. And at Boulders Beach, a colony of African penguins goes about its business with complete indifference to us watching in quiet delight.
At Cowgirl Blues in Cape Town, you dye mohair with your own hands — colour drawn from the Cape itself. In the bush, Zulu basket weavers demonstrate a craft that has been alive in this landscape for centuries. In Durban, a specialist unpacks the story of Shweshwe cloth — where it came from, how it was claimed, what it became.
There is something about South Africa that gets into you.
Join us and a very small group of fellow creatives in South Africa, January 15–28, 2027. A few spots remain.

With Warmth from our studio,
ARNE & CARLOS
I came across Priest Alaska and decided to seek his guidance. I shared my story openly and explained how much I wanted my wife and our marriage back. He listened patiently and made me feel understood when I was at one of the lowest points in my life. With time. After Priest Alaska did his work. I started noticing changes in my situation. The distance between my wife and me began to fade, communication became more frequent, and the coldness that had existed between us gradually started to disappear. Then came the moment I had been hoping for my wife came back to me and was willing to give our marriage another chance. Having my wife back in my life means more to me than I can put into words. We are now taking things one step at a time, rebuilding our connection and creating a better future again. My experience reminded me that when a relationship is going through a difficult season, it is important not to lose hope. Seeking guidance and spiritual support can help you find a positive way forward. If you would like to contact Father Alaska, here is his information. Email: alaskaspellcaster44 @ gmail. com
I read about Priest Alaska online that he has helped a lot of people revive broken marriages and relationships. I decided to reach out and from the beginning I felt welcomed and a little bit calmness struck me again my nerves was so calm immediately I knew I was on with the right person who can help me turn my marriage around for the better. Following the guidance of Priest Alaska I noticed positive changes, communication between me and my husband gradually improved, misunderstanding was resolved. Today, I’ve reconnected with my husband and we are committed to moving forward together. For anyone going through a difficult period in their marriage or relationship, seeking trusted guidance and support can be an important step toward healing and reconciliation.
