From August 5th to August 13th, Gulf Coast Connoisseur Club members will make a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Mashatu Game Reserve in Botswana and the Londolozi Game Reserve in South Africa. "Our first stop will be at Mashatu Game Reserve, tucked in the easternmost corner of Botswana. Located within a private 76,000 acre wildlife reserve, it is host to some of the finest predator viewing on the continent," says Michael Klauber. Africa holds a very special place in the hearts of your hosts, Michael and Terri Klauber, and like all of us, they're anxious to return to this amazing land of incredible safari adventures, enormously diverse people, and exceptional food & wine experiences. The Klauber's deep connection with this magical country began in 2005 on their first trip to South Africa, Cape Town, and the Cape Winelands with their travel partner Ryan Hilton of Admiral Travel International. 

"We have been fortunate to experience all the major parts of wild Africa, and of all the properties we have visited, there is one place that always brings us back – our home away from home – Londolozi Game Reserve," shared The Klaubers. "There is a rare connection between the almost 100 years of history, and the family behind this property, that has the rest of the African properties trying to match them. The connection with the wildlife and attention to detail in their special style of hospitality is truly magical!"
