1. You'll be sitting in a hide with me, eyes at waterhole level, watching elephants play only metres away. We'll even need to take wipes in case they throw mud!

2. All over the world, the opening of the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art in Cape Town is being eagerly awaited. It's been created inside a waterfront grain silo complex! You'll come on an exclusive behind-the-scenes pre-opening visit with me.

3. On separate occasions, you'll enjoy with me the very special hospitality of real South Africans in their own homes - in Johannesburg, Cape Town and a former black township.
