Introduction

Your journey begins in Cape Town, one of our favorite cities, framed by the iconic Table Mountain and the sparkling Atlantic coastline. You’ll spend four nights at the Belmond Mount Nelson, an oasis of charm and history in the heart of the city. With three days of private touring, you’ll explore the highlights of Cape Town, ascend Table Mountain, discover the dramatic landscapes of the Cape Peninsula (including penguins!) and indulge in the celebrated food and wine of the Cape Winelands.

From there, your adventure continues to the pristine coastline of the Whale Coast, where you’ll spend three nights at Grootbos Forest Lodge. Nestled between ancient milkwood forests and sweeping ocean views, Grootbos is renowned for its luxury eco-lodges and commitment to conservation. Here, you can enjoy guided nature walks, marine safaris, and seasonal whale watching, while dining on gourmet meals inspired by fresh local ingredients.

Your safari concludes in the renowned Sabi Sand Game Reserve, adjacent to Kruger National Park, with three nights at Leopard Hills. This intimate lodge, perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking a natural waterhole, is famed for its exceptional game viewing and elegant suites with private plunge pools. Morning and afternoon game drives bring you close to Africa’s iconic wildlife, including the Big Five, while evenings are spent under the stars with fine cuisine and warm hospitality.

This itinerary combines cosmopolitan culture, coastal wilderness, and thrilling safari encounters for the ultimate South African experience.
