Africa

The African continent encompasses so many cultures and customs, many of which are so much different from the rest of the world. The differences in culture, wildlife, terrain and weather make an African vacation a striking contrast to the world most of us are used to.

From endless desert to lush jungle, pristine beaches and dry savannah, Africa holds all sorts of charms for vacationers. There are plenty of options when it comes to travel and accommodations, making Africa a destination that many people return to again and again.

Franschhoek, South Africa, is squarely in the middle of South Africa’s wine region, just a short distance from Cape Town. On a residential street in Franschhoek sits Koko House, an elegant private residence that’s a short walk from the town’s restaurants, shops and galleries. Koko House’s four bedrooms can comfortably host eight guests; this lovingly-appointed home has a pool, pool house and loungers for relaxing in the South African sun. There’s an outdoor garden for dinner (complete with Weber BBQ) and a fully-equipped kitchen with dishwasher, should you decide to self-cater. Make yourself at home at Koko House.

Tucked away in one of the oldest parts of the Medina, Riad Farnatchi is a spectacular destination in the ancient city of Marrakech. This vacation rental is one of a series of Riads (some 400 years old) that have been restored to near-palatial status, yet connected with the past with traditional Moroccan decor that includes intricate carvings and tiles. Step into Riad Farnatchi’s stunning interior; you’ll love the ten bedrooms, each with a handmade bed and Egyptian-cotton sheets. At the nearby spa, there are private marble hammams and treatment rooms for a spa experience tailored to your needs. Enjoy homemade breakfast daily, canapes before dinner, complimentary tea, coffee, fruit and snacks and even a fez and djeleba you can take home. A stay at Riad Farnatchi will be a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience.
