Cape Town

Cape Town is one of the world’s most visually striking cities, framed by Table Mountain, the Atlantic Ocean and a dramatic coastline. It offers a compelling blend of culture, cuisine, beaches, wine estates and natural beauty, making it the perfect beginning to a luxury South Africa journey.

This stay allows time to enjoy the city’s major highlights while also settling into the pace of the trip before heading into safari country.

Stay One: The Silo Hotel

The Silo is one of Cape Town’s most distinctive and celebrated luxury hotels, rising above the V&A Waterfront in the historic grain silo complex. The hotel is known for its design-led interiors, expansive views and direct connection to the Zeitz MOCAA museum below.

Each room is individually designed, creating a stay that feels both highly personal and unmistakably stylish. The property’s atmosphere, service and location make it one of the most desirable bases in the city.

• 4 Nights
• Luxury city hotel above the V&A Waterfront
• Direct connection to Zeitz MOCAA

Included: Full English breakfast, limited minibar, access to fitness and spa facilities, guest liaison, parking and Wi-Fi.

Londolozi Game Reserve

Located within the world-renowned Sabi Sands Game Reserve, Londolozi is one of South Africa’s most respected safari names. The reserve lies adjacent to Kruger and is known for outstanding Big Five viewing, especially leopards, with a strong emphasis on guiding and a more private safari atmosphere.

Londolozi combines exceptional game viewing with a conservation ethos and a long-standing reputation for some of the finest safari experiences in southern Africa.

Stay Two: Londolozi Private Granite Suites

Granite Suites is Londolozi’s most exclusive accommodation, with just three suites creating a highly private, intimate safari experience. Positioned along the Sand River, the camp blends contemporary elegance with a strong connection to nature.

Each suite features a private heated pool, expansive river views and interiors inspired by the granite outcrops and tones of the surrounding landscape. This is a refined and deeply personal safari stay.

Tswalu

Tswalu is South Africa’s largest private game reserve and one of the country’s most important long-term conservation stories. Located in the southern Kalahari, it offers a completely different safari setting from the bushveld reserves of the Greater Kruger.

This is a landscape of red dunes, savannah grasslands and ancient mountains, home to rare wildlife and highly personalised safari experiences. It is especially appealing for travellers seeking privacy, conservation depth and a more unusual South Africa safari.
