    Destinations 

    Durban

    A buzzing and colourful prime property destination known for its sparkling warm waters and golden sandy beaches.

    Being a coastal city, Durban is constantly affected by the warm Mozambique current flowing down its coastline, making surfing, yachting and fishing some of the primary activities on the many sparkling beaches. Partly metropolitan, mostly tropical, Durban is home to a plethora of multicultural (OR multiethnic) magic and boasts a charming clash of colonial and post-modern architecture alike. 

    This coastal Zulu kingdom of giant palms, crystalline waters and sun-kissed golden sands is a holiday resort all year round. This makes Durban a never-ending summer utopia for the luxury property buyer with the thirst for sun, surf and multicultural zest.

     

    Johannesburg

    The second largest city in Africa, with more than 3 million people calling this bustling metropolis home, Joburg - or Jozi - as some prefer to call it, offers visitors an experience as unique and diverse as the city itself.

    Whether you’re looking to call it home, in search of a cultural encounter, an adrenaline rush or simply want an escape, the city of Johannesburg has everything you’re looking for and more.

    Mpumalanga

    Known as the land of the rising sun, also home to the Kruger National Park - one of Africa's largest game reserves.

    The home of the Big Five and the second largest reserve in Africa, this area of the wild, unspoiled by humans, has become a destination for travellers across the globe. Located in one of the most ecologically heterogeneous regions of Southern Africa, the vastly shifting landscapes of the park connect expanses of grassy planes, traverse thorny woodland thickets that encircle rugged koppies, and culminate in the imposing Lebombo Mountains of the east.
