About Us
Lifetree Escapes was born out of a desire to unearth hidden gems in South Africa that are accessible to the South African wallet. Pivoting off of our expertise in video production and digital storytelling, we believe we can bring extraordinary spaces to life with a focus on emotive content. We are all about telling stories, and telling them well.
With a combined experience of over 30 years in the industry and an immense passion for travel in Southern Africa, we have chosen to partner only with properties that have something truly magical about them.
Meet The Team
Hello, Hi from Cape Town! For what our team lacks in size, we definitely make up for in our collective passion for travel in South Africa. With a history of experience in both travel and marketing between us, we decided to ditch the corporate gig and go on a hunt to unearth some extraordinary local getaways all over South Africa.

Our Community
We are committed to giving back. A percentage of our fee goes towards Oscars Arc | WOOF Project based Woodstock, Cape Town. Oscars Arc is an inspired dog adoption centre, connecting abandoned dogs with new homes.
If the pandemic has taught us anything, it is the importance of nurturing a community spirit and supporting local businesses and community initiatives that make a lasting difference.
Our Purpose
RAW.ROOTED.REAL. Values we hold close to our heart. We cannot preach the diversity and beauty of South Africa enough. South Africans are exploring their country more than ever before and we want to lead your charge on discovering what is out there. This website, and how you experience it, has been carefully thought out because we understand that you travel with specifics in mind. Why have to sift through thousands of options to find the right fit for you and your crew.
