Nice to meet you

Narina Exelby is a roaming writer who grew up on a nature reserve in KwaZulu-Natal. She shares a name with a shy forest-dwelling bird, and her default setting has always been to seek out quiet spaces ­– which is one of the reasons she lives in a bamboo “treehouse” in Bali, four hours away from the crowds. Africa is very much in her blood, however, and Narina regularly travels and writes about the continent for a variety of international publications. For Narina the words of poet Gcina Mhlophe will always ring true: there is no “Africa bug” – it is the umbilical cord remembering.

  • We spoke to numerous travel agents over the period we looked at booking our honeymoon and only hide and seek gave me the confidence I was looking for. Really pleased with our decision.

  • Hide and seek dealt with our last minute travel plans extremely well. Obviously, our accommodations shifted as availability diminished but ultimately they came up with a vacation that we will never forget.
