Comments Relais & Chateaux Director Annie-Claude Bergonzoli, “The diversity of our region is inspiring and there is so much to see and do in our region which encapsulates not only South Africa but Namibia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Madagascar, Seychelles and Mauritius.

“By offering the suggested Route du Bonheur to guests they can enjoy a truly unique holiday which encapsulates nature, health, food and wine, culture and community initiatives. Guests may of course choose their own Route du Bonheur and even travel on Silversea cruises to get the best of both worlds.”
