One of our most quintessential South African journeys. 13 days of world-class luxury spanning coastal glamour, untamed wilderness, and vineyard serenity.
Your journey begins at one of Cape Town's most prestigious addresses. Settle into a Classic House Room with sweeping Atlantic views, daily breakfast, and a private tour of the house's extraordinary South African art collection. Between the ocean-facing pool, the 7,500-bottle wine gallery, and Bantry Bay glittering below, the first four days set an impossibly high bar.
On day three, an ultra-luxury Cape Peninsula adventure unfolds. Begin with a scenic helicopter flight soaring over the rugged coastline all the way to Cape Point. Continue by road to the Cape of Good Hope, where two oceans meet in dramatic fashion. A deluxe picnic lunch with chilled Cap Classique awaits in a breathtaking setting, before Boulders Beach and a drive along the iconic Chapman's Peak, all with a private guide at your side.
On day five, swap the city for the wild. A morning flight from Cape Town to Hoedspruit is followed by a private transfer into the heart of Big Five country. For three nights, Ngala's beautifully styled tented suites, elevated along a seasonal riverbed, become home. Twice-daily game drives led by expert trackers deliver intimate encounters with Africa's most iconic wildlife, from dawn-lit lion sightings to elephants gathering at dusk.
A private transfer from Ngala brings you deeper into the wilderness to one of Africa's most architecturally extraordinary lodges, sculpted into the earth itself. Here, the rhythm of safari life truly takes hold. Early morning drives as the bush wakes, evenings following predators under the setting sun, and guided walks that reveal the smaller details of the bush. All meals, drinks, and conservation fees included.
After breakfast at Earth Lodge, a flight from Skukuza returns you to Cape Town. A signature transfer brings you into the heart of the Winelands, where the Cabernet Room with its private terrace overlooking the vineyards becomes your base. On day twelve, a full-day private wine tour visits the region's most celebrated estates. Late checkout until 9pm on your final evening means there's no rush to leave.
This is a real itinerary, recently enjoyed by travellers just like you. 13 days across four world-class properties in Cape Town, Greater Kruger, the Sabi Sand, and the Franschhoek Winelands, with every flight, transfer, and experience seamlessly arranged. But no two Safari.com journeys are ever the same. Every itinerary we create is as unique as the people taking it.
