Sereni Travel has partnered with Jan Ernst, offering you the opportunity to wander into his world of bridging the gap between nature and the human experience. This curated itinerary has been designed by Jan, taking you back to his roots in the Karoo, a lived inner city experience by the ocean and making a deeper connection by stepping into the wild.
Slow down, immerse yourself in nature, open yourself to connection, lean into learning and embrace your senses; feel, touch, see, smell and taste. This unique trip will allow you to see with “new” eyes and take a meaningful piece of South Africa home with you.

The landscape offers Jan a celebration of his deep relationship with nature, where he is able to observe and digest the daily rituals of animals and how they influence his creations. Equally, he is fascinated and intrigued by the forests surrounding the city of Cape Town, places that celebrate tactility and fragility, rich with myth, wonder, and stories—an untapped resource of endless inspiration. Further afield, the town of Montagu echoes Jan’s childhood home in the Karoo, where candyfloss sunrises and sunsets bring joy to his heart, and the flora and fauna reflect the endurance and fragility of nature in its purest form.
