Escape!” is the inner call that impels us, sometimes, towards time out. It’s the call to some place secluded – perhaps with a splash of romance, where one can languish awhile shielded from the fast-track. We’ve selected three prime and delicious breakaways for you – one on the enchanting Wild Coast, one in the far north of Kruger, and one in the Drakensberg’s captivating Kamberg Valley.

PRANA LODGE

Secluded Lodge-in-a-Forest on the Wild Coast

This exclusive forest lodge is hidden away at Chintsa on the unexploited Wild Coast. It’s a hidden gem for sure, yet it takes little more than 30 minutes to reach by car from East London. The lodge is set in a forest, with exclusive access to a long private beach. As if that’s not enough, guests will probably also want to make the most of self-nurturing therapies at the onsite Thai Wellness Centre. Give yourself at least a couple of days to enjoy it all. See More.

THE OUTPOST

Remote Safari Spot in Kruger National Park

The Outpost is the sort of place you head for to escape – well and truly – the frenzy of the fast zone. It’s a rugged wilderness unto itself in the huge Makuleke Contractual Park in the far north of Kruger. The suites are large and very private, the views stretch on into eternity, and space is as abundant as anyone could wish for. Sublime bathrooms have snatched up awards, and the wildlife safari is superb. See More.
