Dynamic, Vivacious Songstresses

It’s no coincidence that the all-female band’s first single was a hit that aims to inspire women and make them stronger even after facing the toughest situations. These are women, seriously intent on music but even more concerned about empowering fellow women.

BlackByrd made waves throughout South Africa when their first chart-topping single off the album, “All For Me”, was aired extensively during Women’s Month of August in 2012, and again during the Sixteen Days of Activism Campaign against the Abuse of Women and Children!

Knowing that there are over 2 000 game reserves in sub-Saharan Africa, he believed this pristine setting would be well defined by a destination spa. Since its transformation, the most popular appeal that Karkloof holds is its spa which offers unlimited treatments for guests, with the most popular being the Thai aroma and de-stress massage.
