This journey through South Africa is designed for travelers who value sophistication, comfort, and a sense of place. Each destination offers something unique – the energy of the city, the rugged wilderness, the beauty of the Winelands, and the culture of the coast.
Across the journey, you’ll stay at some of the country’s most prestigious properties, including The Saxon Hotel, Singita Lebombo Lodge, Delaire Graff Estate, and the iconic Mount Nelson. Each stay offers its own expression of South African sophistication – from contemporary urban glamour to serene wilderness immersion.
Private jet transfers, exclusive excursions, and Michelin-level dining elevate the experience at every stage, ensuring your time in South Africa is as effortless as it is unforgettable.
Arrive in Johannesburg by private jet, where a chauffeur-driven transfer brings you to The Saxon Hotel, Villas & Spa, an address synonymous with the very best of luxury stays. Unwind in the Nelson Mandela Platinum Suite, surrounded by curated art, private terraces, and exceptional service. Take to the skies on a private helicopter tour, admiring Johannesburg’s skyline and historical landmarks before enjoying a gourmet lunch at Cube Tasting Kitchen, paired with premium South African wines.
The next day begins with an indulgent breakfast and time to relax in the Saxon Spa. Later, enjoy a private tour of the city’s thriving art scene, including exclusive access to a local gallery. In the evening, experience a multi-course tasting at DW Eleven-13, where the menu celebrates South Africa’s finest ingredients with international flair.
Fly privately to Kruger National Park, where a short transfer brings you to Singita Lebombo Lodge, an architectural masterpiece overlooking the N’wanetsi River. Your glass-walled suite places you at the heart of the wilderness without compromising on comfort.
Begin your Kruger experience with a private game drive, led by expert guides who bring the bush to life. Encounter lions, elephants, rhinos, and perhaps a stealthy leopard as the sun sets over the savannah. Evenings are for elegant bush dinners beneath the stars, with fine wines from Singita’s renowned cellar.
The following day offers various opportunities – perhaps a private walking safari, a photography masterclass, or a bespoke spa ritual inspired by the surrounding landscape. Every detail is tailored to you, ensuring an experience that is both personal and unforgettable.
Board your private jet for the Cape Winelands and check into Delaire Graff Estate, a haven of art, design, and natural beauty. Your villa overlooks sunlit vineyards, with a private pool and butler service ensuring complete privacy. Begin with a private art tour and wine tasting, followed by a leisurely lunch at Delaire Graff Restaurant. Later, soar over the vineyards on a private helicopter tour, landing for exclusive cellar visits and tastings.
The next morning, wake to panoramic views of the Simonsberg Mountains before a rejuvenating spa treatment. Visit the Dylan Lewis Sculpture Garden, where art and landscape merge, or drift silently above the vineyards in a private hot air balloon flight. As evening falls, dine at Rust en Vrede, one of South Africa’s most acclaimed wine estate restaurants.
Your final destination is Cape Town, where a private transfer takes you to the legendary Mount Nelson, an icon of South African hospitality. A privately guided tour introduces you to the city’s highlights – from Table Mountain to the Cape of Good Hope and the penguin colonies of Boulders Beach. Lunch is a fine-dining affair at La Colombe, set among the Constantia vineyards, followed by an exclusive visit to Robben Island, exploring areas not usually open to the public.
Your last day begins with a tranquil stroll through Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, accompanied by a private naturalist guide, before a gourmet picnic on the lawns. The afternoon invites rest – perhaps a final spa treatment or a glass of sparkling wine by the pool. As the sun sets, step aboard a private yacht for a champagne cruise around Table Bay, the city skyline glowing behind you – a perfect finale to your South African journey.
