South Africa contains more worlds than most countries...
...and moving between them, sometimes within a single day, is part of what makes it extraordinary. Cape Town earns its reputation every day. Table Mountain above, two oceans below, the Winelands of Franschhoek and Stellenbosch twenty minutes away. The food scene is genuinely exceptional, not just for Africa, but globally, and the cultural and creative life of the city surprises almost everyone who arrives expecting only beauty. Have dinner in the city, wake up for a dawn drive in the bush. Few countries allow that.
The private reserves of Sabi Sand and Timbavati offer Big Five safari of a quality and intimacy the national parks cannot replicate, leopard sightings near guaranteed, encounters close and unhurried. The Drakensberg rises above Bushmen rock art thousands of years old.
- Track the Big Five on a private Sabi Sand or Timbavati reserve
- Wake to Table Mountain and two oceans below
- Taste world-class wines in Franschhoek and Stellenbosch
- Walk beneath the Drakensberg peaks and ancient Bushmen rock art
BEST TIME TO TRAVEL
May - September: Dry season - best for safaris
October - March: Cape Coast - best for whales
what we love
Cape Town
World-class art at Zeitz MOCAA, a food scene that belongs on any global list, and a creative energy that surprises everyone who arrives thinking they already know it.
A Walking Safari in Phinda
White rhino on foot, the KwaZulu-Natal bush at dawn, the alertness that only comes from moving through the wild without a vehicle.
Hermanus
A southern right whale rolls onto its side below the cliff, one eye looking up. A moment of contact that stays with you.
