Settle into your five-star hotel and soak up the vibrant energy of the Mother City. Take in the iconic views from the top of Table Mountain, explore the bustling V&A Waterfront, and wander through colourful Bo-Kaap with its rich history and charm.

Enjoy leisurely days exploring the city’s beaches, vineyards, and world-class restaurants, or venture further along the scenic Cape Peninsula for unforgettable coastal views.

Franschhoek


Next, you’ll drive into the heart of South Africa’s Winelands, where rolling vineyards and mountain backdrops await.

Franschhoek, the country’s gourmet capital, offers elegant wine estates, artisanal dining, and a quaint village atmosphere. Sip and savour your way through tasting rooms, dine under the stars, and unwind in a luxurious retreat surrounded by natural beauty.

Take a guided wine tram tour or simply meander between estates at your own pace.

Wilderness


Your adventure continues to the peaceful town of Wilderness, a hidden gem along the Garden Route.

Here, tranquil lagoons, sandy beaches and lush forests invite you to slow down and connect with nature. Explore the area by canoe, take a walk along the beach, or simply enjoy the serenity from the comfort of your boutique lodge.

It’s the ideal spot to unwind, recharge, and embrace the wild beauty of the South African coast.

Plettenberg Bay


Then it’s on to the chic coastal town of Plettenberg Bay, known for its golden beaches and laid-back sophistication.

Spend your days relaxing on the sand, exploring nearby nature reserves, or enjoying oceanfront dining. You might even spot dolphins or whales along the bay.

Visit wildlife sanctuaries or take a walk through the Tsitsikamma forest. This stop is all about leisure, discovery and natural beauty.

Port Elizabeth


Before your safari begins, enjoy a restful overnight stay in Port Elizabeth.

This friendly coastal city offers a warm welcome, a touch of urban comfort, and time to reflect on the journey so far.

It’s your final stop before heading into the wild.
