Weekend Warrior: 3 Locally Produced Looks for an African-Luxe Weekend Away

The pandemic has brought many things along with it. Some good and some bad. One of the not so nice consequences, has been the effects on our local tourism industry - which relies so heavily on a constant flow of visitors throughout the year. Although things are set to be in this VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) state for some time (and yes that is a thing) we still need to show our support for local tourism wherever we can!

Plus, our sense of wanderlust is stronger than ever and is itching to whisk us away in a dream-like African escape. You know, something that leaves you with memories that will last into your golden years. Yep! Africa just has that effect on people!

Now, with a luxurious escape comes luxurious style - of course! And my do we have a few day-dreamy travel and style recipes for you!
