How did Secret Getaway start
All 3 founders spent many years abroad returning at similar times filled with an invigorating appreciation for South Africa and the experiences to enjoy right here.
Over the last 6 years we have weathered a drought; a pandemic; then the hard lock down of travel restrictions; riots and then an uncertain Europe. All of which cemented our commitment to inspire locals to travel where they live- to not believe that a holiday must include a visa and a plane ticket (although those are sometimes great!) but to truly experience the joy of being a tourist in our own towns.
Whilst the road ahead continues to be rocky, we know for sure it will always contain a love of being a local and a commitment to inspiring more South Africans to unlock the ultimate luxury: spontaneity.
Always simple. Always selected for stylishness, and ALWAYS passionately South African.
