Your adventure begins with a flight from Johannesburg to Hoedspruit, where you’ll be met and transferred to Arathusa Safari Lodge, nestled in the exclusive Sabi Sand Game Reserve.

Check into your elegant water-facing suite, where the sounds of the bush and the tranquil view of the waterhole set the tone for your stay. That afternoon, set off on your first game drive with expert rangers and trackers guiding your journey through Big 5 territory.

Return to the lodge for a gourmet dinner under the African stars, a fitting welcome to the wild.

After your final morning drive and breakfast, you'll be transferred to Hoedspruit Airport for your flight to Cape Town. Upon arrival, a scenic transfer will bring you to Rickety Bridge Estate, a charming wine estate nestled in the Franschhoek Valley. Settle into your suite and enjoy an afternoon exploring the estate, sampling fine wines, or discovering the heritage-rich town of Franschhoek nearby.

Optional wine tastings and vineyard walks complete this relaxed and indulgent day in South Africa’s culinary capital.

Enjoy a final breakfast before your private transfer to Cape Town International Airport for your onward journey.

You leave with unforgettable memories, from the raw beauty of the bush and the refined elegance of the Winelands to the vibrant soul of Cape Town.
