About this itinerary.

Experience the best of South Africa on this unforgettable journey from thrilling Big 5 game drives in Sabi Sand, to vineyard indulgence in Franschhoek, and vibrant city exploration in Cape Town. A perfect blend of luxury, nature, and culture.

Day 1: Sabi Sand safari luxury

Your journey begins with a flight from Johannesburg to Skukuza Airport, where youโ€™ll be warmly welcomed and transferred to Inyati Game Lodge, a luxurious retreat set within the renowned Sabi Sand Nature Reserve.

Upon arrival, take a moment to settle into your elegant luxury chalet, thoughtfully positioned to offer tranquillity in the heart of the African bush. Once settled, embark on your first afternoon game drive, expertly guided by Inyatiโ€™s experienced trackers and guides as you begin your search for Africaโ€™s iconic wildlife.

Return to the lodge for a delicious dinner under the stars, a memorable way to end your first day on safari.

Day 2-3: African bush experience

Begin each day with the gentle sounds of the African bush, with morning tea and refreshments served on the patio. Then set off on a morning game drive, where the wilderness comes to life with extraordinary wildlife encounters. After returning to the lodge, enjoy a leisurely brunch, followed by time to relax by the pool with a cocktail in hand or take part in optional lodge activities.

In the afternoon, high tea is served on the patio before you depart for your afternoon game drive, timed perfectly for golden hour photography and sunset views. Upon your return, enjoy pre-dinner drinks, followed by another exceptional dining experience.

Day 4: Into the Cape Winelands

After your final morning game drive and a hearty breakfast at Inyati Game Lodge, youโ€™ll be transferred to Skukuza Airport for your flight to Cape Town. Upon arrival, a scenic transfer will take you to Mont Rochelle, a luxurious estate nestled in the heart of Franschhoek, South Africaโ€™s renowned wine capital.

Spend the afternoon exploring this quaint and charming town, known for its French heritage, boutique shops, and art galleries. If you wish, indulge in optional wine tastings at the surrounding wine farms, where award-winning vintages and sweeping vineyard views await.
