THE EXPERIENCE
South Africa, with its eclectic abundance of culture, landscape and wildlife, is unlike any other African destination. World-renowned for its beauty, Cape Town offers a colourful start point with blue ocean views and the iconic Table Mountain. The picturesque city is a rich melting pot of cultures and cuisines with 9 of the top 10 restaurants in the country.
Highlights include Robben Island (where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned); the Wine Country for award-wining wines and mountain vistas; Hermanus for whale watching and Gansbaai shark cage diving. Having recharged on the white sandy beaches, make your way to some of the top game reserves on the continent. Game viewing is amongst the best in Africa, and often you’ll see all of the “big five” in a single game drive: including elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard.
Private reserves offer you the chance to follow the game off-road in an open vehicle as it moves through the bush, plus there’s the option of exploring on foot. The lodges are fully equipped with every comfort catered to. Enjoy delicious meals and sundowners in the bush as the sun paints the sky reds and golds. Enjoy the privilege of the bush sights and sounds as the wild sinks into your soul and leaves you feeling completely rejuvenated and deeply fulfilled.
