#LTselects: la clé des montagnes
We’ve found our South African spirit animal, and it goes by the name of La Clé des Montagnes. The latest induction to our #LTselects series, this boutique hotel in South African wine country was most certainly love at first sight. Our first day of sightseeing in the Western Cape came to end in the town of Franschhoek, where our Hands Up Holidays guide, Janise, dropped us off at our accommodations for the evening: La Clé des Montagnes, a small collection of villas situated on a private estate. So, how much do we love La Clé des Montagnes? Let us count…

If you’ve been reading LT from its earliest days, then you may already know this. Going to Africa, and specifically South Africa, has been at the top of our list for-basically-ever. To be perfectly honest, though? Actually booking a trip felt overwhelming. How do you know that you’re doing such an expansive, incredible continent and country justice?! Finally, we pushed our laziness aside. Sort of. In just under four weeks, along with our friend Mrs. O, we’ll be jetting off to Cape Town. We’ve partnered with Hands Up Holidays, who arranges luxury voluntourism in regions all over the world. That’s…
