"Kusafiri" is the Swahili word for JOURNEY

After meeting on their annual African Safaris, Klaas Coetzee and Sandro Bertuol became steadfast friends. Their journey into wines was as natural and organic as the sun-drenched landscape they explored together.

"Kusafiri Wines" is the result of a Swiss's search for authenticity and the superb skill of a South African winemaker. Their voyageu vin showcases one of the most fascinating plants of Africa, the "Koekemakranka", a rare and sought-after species, much like the quality wine they produce.

What is a Koekemakranka?

Gethyllis (probably from Greek "gethyon", bulb), commonly called Kukumakranka, Koekemakranka, or Kroekemakrank, is a genus of bulbous plant in the Amaryllid family with some 33 accepted species..

It is native to the Sandveld of the Cape Province, the Transvaal and Orange Free State of South Africa, as well as Botswana and Namibia

"All Kusafiri's wines are as endemic, authentic and natural as the Gethyllis that you can find in nature."
