Your South African adventure begins at one of our favorite eco-lodges, Grootbos Forest Lodge with 3 nights in a one bedroom suite. Lodge activities include nature walks and drives, cave visits, horse riding and if you happen to visit in August during peak whale season you can enjoy some of the world's best land based whale watching. Or simply relax and enjoy this beautiful lodge as you adjust to African time.
From the Garden Route, you continue onto to Cape Town to enjoy 4 nights at Ellerman House. This exclusive property offers spectacular views over the ocean. Art lovers will appreciate the private gallery on the grounds featuring a selection of African artists. It will be a delightful oasis to return to after three days of private touring in and around Cape Town with an expert guide covering highlights such as Table Mountain, City Center, Cape of Good Hope, Boulders Beach, the Cape Winelands and much more.
Your journey concludes as you travel to the Sabi Sands private reserve adjacent to Kruger National Park, arguably home to the best game viewing in South Africa, where you will spend 4 nights at Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge. This area is famed for its incredible leopard population. Enjoy twice daily game drives as you view a myriad of game including the Big 5 - lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo - as well as plains game. Other predators regularly spotted include cheetah and wild dog and, if you are lucky, you may catch a glimpse of more elusive species such as the endangered pangolin or fearless honey badger.
