About this itinerary
This luxury tour encapsulates the absolute best South Africa has to offer. Starting off in Cape Town, where you'll be staying at the incredible One&Only, balancing free time to enjoy the opulence of the hotel and exploration time on curated private excursions.
You'll then move on to the Winelands where you will have the opportunity to try some of the world's best wines, shown the complete process of the winemaking, and of course completely relax! Finish off your stay in the Western Cape at the award winning Grootbos luxury eco-resort.
After a short flight you'll arrive at Sabi Sands Nature Reserve, where you will have 4 nights in one of South Africa's best safari lodges.
day 1-4 Cape Town
During a half day tour of Cape Town you’ll start by visiting the vibrant cobble-stoned streets of Bo-Kaap before summiting Table Mountain by cable car for the best views the city has to offer.
You will also experience the breath-taking beauty of the Cape Peninsula on a full-day private tour. Travel along one of the world’s most scenic coastal routes as you make your way toward the dramatic landscapes of the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. Explore Cape Point, where towering sea cliffs meet the turbulent waters of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, and enjoy panoramic views from the iconic lighthouse. Stop off at charming villages, scenic coves and the famous Boulders Beach penguin colony on route.
Despite such an action packed itinerary, you’ll still have extra time to explore the city further or simply relax and enjoy the One&Only.
Accommodation: One&Only Cape Town
