A Rooftop Safari, Grand Daddy Style

We are African travel obsessed¸ which means we’ll chase after any safari opportunity within our arms reach. When we heard about a “Rooftop Safari” at our client, the Grand Daddy Boutique Hotel, you could say confusion and excitement were the first reactions that came to mind.

Let me rewind…

[highlight] The Grand Daddy Boutique Hotel [/highlight] has an Airstream Rooftop Trailer Park on top of their playful and luxurious Cape Town hotel. This winter the rooftop trailer park received a full treatment makeover, the result of which is “outside vintage Americano and inside 100% South African.” That’s right; those unmistakable South African vistas have climbed right inside the trailers and our favourite themed silver beauty is the “Rooftop Safari” trailer. (Naturally!)

A recent guest had this to say about their stay: “The Safari Trailer had a quirky feel to it, with luminous stars, a wild animal scene and even an outdoor Shower”

I’ve personally been to the Grand Daddy Boutique Hotel, and visited when the rooftop was under construction with the aid of equipment such as the ones on this listing. When I took the grand tour to the top, during the hustle and bustle of working hour renovations, I couldn’t help but think:

Being realistic is the most commonly travelled road to mediocrity.

You could say creating an Airstream Rooftop Trailer Park is a bit optimistic, but that’s the beauty of it all. It’s funky, unique, and anything but mediocre. It’s hotel genius!

The “Rooftop Safari” trailer is a creative extension showcasing the character of [highlight] Jaci’s Lodges [/highlight] in the Madikwe Game Reserve and [highlight] Cheetah Plains Private Game Reserve [/highlight] of Sabi Sands fame. Both these safari properties are sister establishments of the Grand Daddy and it’s only natural that the Grand Daddy’s trailers would celebrate the charisma of its partners. Don’t they make a charismatic trio?

Kim Stephens says it best:

“Jaci’s Lodges and Cheetah Plains offer differing, exceptional wildlife experiences, both capturing the unique wilderness that only Mother Africa can offer and now a “rooftop safari” adds to your special South African adventure. Think images of sweeping plains, showering beneath the stars in an outdoor safari shower, and enough inspiration that you might just hear the roar of a lion as you drift off to sleep in your queen-sized bed. With Long street below, the hustle and bustle of city life disappears as the sun dips, and your soul sours above the beautiful African bush, surrounded by vibrant colours and African textures.”

The Grand Daddy’s Airstream Rooftop Trailer Park is a housing spot for 6 other South African themed trailers, which makes this quirky establishment a one-stop spot for an inclusive SA road trip. For locals and internationals alike, this is an effortlessly cool hotel to rest your head at night.
