African Secrets is a management and marketing company specialising in exclusive boutique destinations.
They represent three unique and beautiful properties in South Africa: Jaci’s Lodges in the Madikwe Game Reserve, Cheetah Plains in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, and the Grand Daddy Boutique Hotel in Cape Town.

African Secrets are owner-managed, run and marketed, with a passion for connecting people with Africa.
CiMSO was first installed at Jaci’s Lodges and Cheetah Plains. “The owners’ dedication is instilled in the staff,” says CiMSO’s Hanle van Niekerk.
We welcome African Secrets to the CiMSO fold.
