You’ll be shown around the city’s historic and cultural landmarks before heading up the iconic Table Mountain for unforgettable views. And on a day out exploring the Cape Peninsula’s dramatic coastline, share a beach with penguins and get a chance to spot whales from the shore.
A boutique townhouse perfectly positioned to explore Cape Town and nearby Kloof Street area's foodie scene.
Days 4 — 6
Taste the Winelands
South Africa’s Winelands are a beautiful area of combed green vineyards dotted with Cape Dutch farmhouses backed by rugged mountains and blue skies.
Join a passionate local oenologist to indulge in the best local produce visiting a blend of historic wineries with centuries of history and with new upstarts pioneering biodynamic and organic winemaking. There are some fine restaurants, hikes and bike rides in the valleys too.
Days 6 — 10
Luxury Kruger safari
Spot South Africa’s most iconic wildlife on a safari in a private reserve bordering the legendary Kruger National Park. Morning and afternoon game drives are a staple and the best way to see elephants, lions, rhinos and more up close while leopards are a particular highlight of the area.
Immersive walking safaris led by expert trackers and exciting night drives get you closer to nature and more unusual species, while unique dining experiences out in the bush under the stars will stay with you for years to come. For something extra-special, spend a night under the twinkling night sky on a star bed surrounded by the wilderness.
Days 10 — 15
Seychelles island getaway
Spend one night in Mahé before travelling to a remote tropical island surrounded by warm Indian Ocean waters. Shared only with a handful of the other guests – and resident giant tortoises lumbering through the interior – here you can disconnect from the world and do as much or as little as you feel like.
Indulge in the spa and laze on coral sands that ring the island. You can learn about conservation efforts on land and sea, kayak on rainbow reefs vibrant with life, paddle board or brush up on your diving. We can also arrange completely private moments for you both, such as dining experiences and sunset cruises.
