Day 1-3: Cape Town, South Africa
Arrive in Cape Town where you will be met for transfer to More Quarters for overnight.
Step through a gateway into the vibrant soul of Cape Town at More Quarters. Combining the benefits of a hotel with the
independence of a luxury apartment, More Quarters is charming and full of character. Its desirable location amongst the popular restaurants, street cafes and stylish boutique shops of the vibrant Kloof Street is also a fabulous attraction of this hotel.
Privacy in apartment style living is coupled with the convenience of a luxury hotel’s services and amenities. There are 18 apartments; 1 and 2 units each with unique décor and layout. Children of all ages welcome! Our 18 fully equipped hotel
apartment suites are spacious and stylish and exude a feeling of arriving “home” after spending a long day exploring.
Another option is the Radcliff House. This is the perfect place for families or groups of friends. With 4 bedrooms (two are
en-suite), a lounge (with wood burning fireplace), private balcony looking onto table mountain and a small pool area, all creature comforts are met. A dining room with 10-seater table and open plan kitchen make for meal times that are sociable affairs.
More Quarters accommodates guests on a Bed & Breakfast basis as there are countless restaurants in the vicinity. For those who choose to stay in, stock your fridge from one of the local markets just a short walk away. Should you wish to venture out from your private apartment, you may enjoy sitting quietly in the lounge by the fire with a coffee or glass of port. Or, if you're looking to travel farther afield, Table Mountain, the iconic Clifton beaches and the famous Victoria & Alfred Waterfront are all just around the corner. The management team love nothing better than to share their insights on the best places to visit
and help to plan your days or hear about your adventures.
Over the next two days, you will have the opportunity to relax and explore the city with all of its exciting attractions including a scheduled half day city tour and a Peninsula Tour.
Day 4-6: Marakele National Park
This morning, transfer to Marakele National park where you will meet your guide who will escort you to Marataba Safari Lodge.
Marataba is a malaria-free 23,000 hectare private concession within the Big 5 Marakele National Park (Limpopo, South Africa). Just four hours from Johannesburg, this is a sanctuary where busy people can find themselves again by connecting with nature. We were rendered breathless by the dramatic Waterberg mountains, vast plains, rich animal diversity and winding rivers cutting through the landscape of the Marakele National Park.
Rich red mountain rock meets lush green plains (where you will find yellowwood and cedar trees, 5m high cycads and tree ferns). All of the large game species from elephant and rhino to the big cats, as well as an amazing variety of birds (including the largest colony of endangered Cape vultures in the world, with more than 800 breeding pairs) have settled here.
Marataba Safari Lodge is a simple extension of the natural environment beyond its walls – rich, bold, organic and patently magnificent. If you sit quietly for long enough, you can feel the energy of the countless people who have made this place home since The Stone Age.
Each of the 15 canvas-and-stone Tented Suites is tastefully furnished and decorated with a contemporary twist. Whether sharing it with lover, friend or family (or keeping it all to yourself), the interior is ample, and the attention to detail impeccable.
The next few days will be spent discovering the diverse flora and fauna that the area has to offer.
Day 7 & 8: Victoria Falls, Zambia
After breakfast, transfer back to the airstrip and make your way to the incredible Victoria Falls. You will be met on arrival and transferred to the Stanley & Livingstone Boutique Hotel.
A quiet retreat in one of the continent’s most loved destinations, when you stay at the Hotel, Victoria Falls is yours to explore – or to pause in on an active Southern African itinerary. The Hotel’s thoughtful comforts, attentive service, and excellent food enhance your experience by ensuring you are very well taken care of – a hallmark of Stanley & Livingstone. And it is for you to decide how much or little to do… The hotel's Private Travel Concierge is available to assist and complimentary shared transfers link you to Victoria Falls, promising views to take your breath away – if its adventures haven’t already!
Walkways lead to just 16 Suites – set apart in tranquil gardens and fronted by furnished terraces – which make up the hotel's luxury accommodation. Each is private and elegantly appointed – no one better than the last – with a fresh approach to colonial style that encourages you to make yourself at home. Settle back against your pillows or pad outside to enjoy a MORE coffee and contemplate the day ahead.
There is no sense in needing a holiday after a holiday, which is why we recommend taking any opportunity to relax. You will be close enough to Victoria Falls to enjoy her many wonders, but a comfortable distance away so you can take time out, and simply just be. The poolside, with its umbrella-shaded loungers, invites you to put your feet up and sun hat down. There’s little reason to move from this position – other than for a refreshing dip – with light lunches, snacks, and any refreshment you fancy served to you by the bar and restaurant. The hours between outings are also an ideal time to spend being pampered. The hotel's therapists offer full-body massages in the peace and quiet of your Suite to relieve any leftover tension. And you can relax knowing that the Africology spa products used are ethically formulated with the finest organic ingredients.
Over the next two days, the Victoria Falls and its surrounding areas will be at your fingertips. Whether you are looking for adventure, family time, romance, relaxation, or the chance to give back… The friendly staff takes great pleasure in creating enriching experiences that reconnect you with the ‘wonder-fulness’ of life. And Victoria Falls is never short on wonder!
Day 9: Departure
