Indulge in Africa I


by Simon Mayle


have to confess to being a bit of a philistine. Over 10 years ago I made my first trip to Africa, (pre- Madonna and Angelina) I headed to Malawi with no idea of what to do on arrival. What an eye-opening


experience it turned out to be…


Once-in-a-lifetime is an apt description - I loved it, although frankly not every minute. Subsequently, over the years my bucket list grew and grew, I still remained somewhat indifferent to Africa. That was until I met the rather chic Liz Biden. Liz is the art and design savvy accidental hotelier that transformed three of her holiday homes into three of South Africa’s most sensational hotels that now make up The Royal Portfolio.


One of The Royal Portfolio’s triumvirate is La Residence, located in the 30 acre estate in the valley of Franschhoek
