My name is Nadja Pumplün-Menken. I am a born and bred Capetonian with German roots. My father left Germany many years ago for South Africa. He landed in South Africa, and was quickly bitten by the 'South African bug'. My mother is South African so I have grown up with the best of both worlds. I have worked as a Hotel Manager in 5-Star Hotels around the world, and throughout my career I have been able to enrich my life with international experience and knowledge about Hotels, Restaurants and Wine Farms. My husband and I met in South Africa and we now have a family and have settled in Germany.
Due to my love and passion for my home country – South Africa – I soon came to realise how popular South Africa is as a holiday destination. South Africa is a magnificent, multicultural country with a rich heritage. We are known as the 'Rainbow Nation'. This bares reference to the various populations of Black, White, Indian and Coloured communities, each rich and diverse in their own culture. South Africa has become a phenominal holiday destination, as this unique country caters for all sorts of interests. South Africa offers wildlife viewing, great food & wines, golfing or water sports, a visit to The Karoo (our dessert) or even the opportunity to view one of the wonders of the world – Table Mountain! - and so much more.
Your trip will be customised to your requirements with all your personal needs and interests attended to. You simply tell me what your expectations are and I will put a proposal together for you. As I believe that your DREAM trip to South Africa should be – INDIVIDUALLY CUSTOMISED.
Every person has his own talents, strengths, skills and INTERESTS. This is what makes you unique. Just like the trip that I plan for you to South Africa- UNIQUE!
Your trip is your own personal tour around South Africa, all your personal needs will be attended to. I will cater to your every whim.
How can I guide you? What are you looking for? Food, wine, wild life, nature, adventure, sightseeing, relaxation? If you have something else in mind, please let me know.
There are opportunities to have a beach holiday, kids activites, relaxation, swimming, adventure with animals… all of this is available in South Africa.
South Africa offers over 100 wine farms. Many of these are award winning wine farms with Michelen Star restaurants, run by incredible chefs. These are hidden gems waiting for you to experience. Let the taste lead you to where you need to be...wanting more! Enjoy the wines along with a gourmet experience.. 'wine is sunlight held in a glass'
South Africa has over 50 golf courses, of all strengths and lengths, some of which are situated at the coastline. These offer majestic ocean views and breezes.
One can learn about the unbelievably friendly people and their cultures, and see the most beautiful sights of South Africa. South Africa offers culture, history, museums, Botanical gardens, Table Mountain, the Blyde River Canyon, The Cradle of Mankind, The Drankensberg and so much more…. There is something for everyone.
These two words form a large part of our vocabulary as this is exactly what South Africa offers! Adrenalin Junkies can find themselves bungy jumping (the highest jump in the Southern Hemisphere) white river rafting, absailing, crocodile or shark cage-diving, safari parks with the BIG 5, walking with Elephants and so much more.
Celebrate your wedding or honeymoon in the most magical surroundings in the world.
I would like to plan an unforgettable trip to my home country, South Africa, for you. In order to do this I require certain information from you, such as your budget, types of hotels, sport activities or other interests. Once I have received this , I will then start planning a preliminary trip for you. This will include investigating prices of rental cars, hotels/B&B's, restaurants, etc. I will then forward you a proposal in order to do the final reservations and bookings. In order to do the final reservations, bookings and deposits, I will require your credit card details. Please be assured that we will sign an agreement that ensures that these credit card details are safeguarded and will ONLY be used for these purposes.
My rates are variable and subject to your trip (time and work put into the planning of your individual trip).
For example, for a two week tour my costs are Euro 250.00 - this includes the reservations of all hotels, B&B's, restaurants, activities, vehicle hire, etc., of which 50% is payable as a deposit and the balance will be due on completion of your planning.
