Why South Africa in Style: From Cape Town to Victoria Falls

In detail

  • Days 1–2: Cape Town

    Days 1–2: Cape Town

    Arrive in Cape Town, where you’ll be met airside by a representative and fast-tracked through immigration before being whisked to your stunning accommodation at Four Rosmead Guest House, hidden in the leafy Oranjezicht suburb. From your doorstep, the city’s charms unfold – Table Mountain looms above, and the vibrant V&A Waterfront lies just a short drive away.

    Spend your first evening at leisure, perhaps dining in one of Cape Town’s acclaimed restaurants or unwinding on the terrace as the city’s lights flicker to life.

  • Days 3-5: Exploring Cape Town

    Days 3-5: Exploring Cape Town

    Your discovery of Cape Town begins with a private walking tour that reveals the city’s creative and culinary heart. With your guide, sample local delicacies, explore artisan coffee houses, and hear the stories that shaped the city’s rich history.

    The next day, embark on a private tour of the Cape Peninsula, a spectacular coastal route lined with dramatic cliffs and pristine beaches. Visit the penguin colony at Boulders Beach, stroll through the lush Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, and take in the rugged beauty of the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve.

    On your final day, conquer the iconic Table Mountain on a guided hike. Ascend along rocky paths to panoramic views stretching across the ocean and city below, before descending by cable car. The rest of the day is yours – perhaps to relax at your boutique hotel or explore Cape Town’s art galleries and wining scene.

    Stay at Four Rosmead Guest House, a tranquil sanctuary blending Cape heritage with contemporary style.

  • Days 6-8: Sabi Sands Game Reserve

    Days 6-8: Sabi Sands Game Reserve

    Fly north to the Kruger region and transfer to your luxury safari retreat in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, one of Africa’s most celebrated wildlife sanctuaries. En route, the landscape shifts from lush plantations to open savanna, where the adventure begins even before you arrive.

    Over the next three days, immerse yourself in safari life. Set out at dawn and dusk on expertly guided game drives, tracking the Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo – across the vast wilderness. Between drives, relax on your private deck, take a dip in the pool, or join a guided bush walk, uncovering the smaller wonders of the African bush, from vibrant birdlife to intricate animal tracks.

    As night falls, return to your lodge for candlelit dinners under the stars and the distant call of hyenas echoing through the darkness.

    Stay at Chitwa Chitwa Game Lodge, an exclusive retreat offering refined luxury and exceptional wildlife viewing on the banks of a private lake.

  • Days 9-11: Victoria Falls

    Days 9-11: Victoria Falls

    Fly to Livingstone, Zambia, and journey through Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park to your riverside lodge, where the Zambezi River flows just beyond your terrace. Spend your first evening aboard a sunset cruise, watching elephants wade and hippos yawn as the sky ignites with color.

    Over the next two days, explore at your own pace. Visit the legendary Victoria Falls with a private guide, feeling the cool mist and power of one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. For the adventurous, take to the skies on a helicopter or microlight flight, or embark on guided fishing, birdwatching, or local village experiences.

    Stay at Waterberry Zambezi Lodge, an intimate riverside hideaway surrounded by nature’s tranquility.

  • Days 12-13: Farewell Africa
