Print ITINERARY

Day 1 Cape Town On arrival at Cape Town airport, you are welcomed by a representative of our local agency and transferred to your hotel. Use the free afternoon to acclimatise or set off to explore the ‘Mother City’ on your own. Your accommodation is located at the foot of the famous Table Mountain. Overnight at Camissa House or similar.

Day 2 Cape Town On a private half-day guided tour, you discover the charms of Cape Town. Thanks to its idyllic setting between Table Mountain and Table Bay, the city is considered one of the most beautiful in the world. On the programme: a cable car ride to the summit of Table Mountain (weather permitting/at extra cost). Admire the spectacular view, then continue through the lively city centre. Overnight at Camissa House or similar.

Day 3 Cape of Good Hope Today you set off on an excursion to the most south-westerly point of the African continent: the famous Cape of Good Hope. From the cape, you enjoy a magnificent panorama over the ocean as far as the eye can see. On the way, a stop at Boulders Beach is possible (optional), where you can observe the penguin colony up close – a very popular photo subject. The return journey follows one of South Africa’s most beautiful coastal roads: Chapman’s Peak Drive (weather permitting). Overnight at Camissa House or similar.

Day 4 Cape Town A free day to organise as you wish. Cape Town offers numerous excursion options. Discover the shops of the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, visit Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden or stroll through the chic seaside district of Camps Bay. Overnight at Camissa House or similar.

Day 5 Wine region After breakfast, you continue your journey to the wine region, about an hour’s drive away. Tonight you stay in one of the most exclusive properties in the region: the sumptuous Brookdale Estate, surrounded by vineyards and a spectacular mountain backdrop. The manor house, built in Cape Dutch style, leaves nothing to be desired. The bistro serves seasonal dishes, and in the tasting room you can savour the fine wines carefully crafted on the estate. The rooms, individually decorated in warm tones, offer comfort and refinement. Overnight at Brookdale Estate or similar.

Day 6 Wine region Today you set off on a private excursion to discover the magnificent Winelands. Franschhoek, Stellenbosch and Paarl are the main towns of this renowned region. In recent years, South African wines have become increasingly popular. Visiting various estates, you will have the opportunity to taste exceptional wines. Overnight at Brookdale Estate or similar.

Day 7 Private reserve Private transfer from your hotel to Cape Town airport, then flight to Kruger National Park. On arrival, a road transfer takes you to your lodge, where you enjoy your first safari in an open off-road vehicle with a professional guide that very afternoon. Your lodge is located in a private reserve in the Sabi Sand region. Silvan Safari Lodge lies right on the banks of the Manyeleti River. From your private pool, you can admire the spectacular view of the river while cooling off. Overnight at Silvan Safari Lodge or similar.

Days 8–9 Private reserve The next few days are entirely devoted to safari. Very early in the morning, a wake-up call with coffee or tea awaits you. Animals are most active at dawn – the chances of spotting the famous ‘Big Five’ are excellent. Experienced rangers lead you on the trail of lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo and rhinos. During the day, you can relax and enjoy your lodge’s facilities, including the spa. A second safari is planned for the late afternoon. At sunset, it is a well-established tradition to stop in a spectacular setting for a ‘sundowner drink’ in the middle of the bush. Overnight at Silvan Safari Lodge or similar.

Day 10 Benguerra Island From Silvan Safari Lodge, transfer to the airport for your flight to Mozambique. On arrival in Vilanculos, you board a helicopter to Benguerra Island. Keep your camera handy – on the way, you enjoy a spectacular view of the turquoise sea and the sandbanks. On this magnificent island, 11 km long and 5.5 km wide, you stay in a true gem nestled on a white sandy beach. Overnight at Azura Benguerra or similar.

Days 11–13 Benguerra Island The next few days are all about complete relaxation on a paradise beach. Take time to relive the memories of your days in Southern Africa. Your accommodation also offers a wide range of activities (some at extra cost): island tours, sunset trips on a traditional dhow, beach picnics, horse rides along the ocean or catamaran outings. Divers and snorkellers will be delighted by the rich underwater life. For moments of pure well-being, treat yourself to a session at the spa, which offers a wide range of massages and treatments. You stay in comfortable villas in tropical-chic style, all with a private terrace and direct beach access. Overnight at Azura Benguerra or similar.

Day 14 Vilanculos Today, return flight by helicopter to Vilanculos. End of the trip or individual extension.
