Take it from us: jet lagged and grumpy from a crooked neck is not the way to start the adventure of a lifetime. Taking a day or two to acclimatise first will probably be one of the best decisions you ever make. And we think one of the best places to do that is at The Saxon. Tucked away in Joburg’s leafy northern suburbs, where the heady scent of jacarandas hangs in the air, you’ll find everything you need to feel like yourself again. Sip on a rooibos in the magnificent gardens, muddy up in the rasul chamber, float in the infinity pool, or just flick over that Do Not Disturb sign and sleep it off.
