Discover the beauty of South Africa on a 9-day tour that explores one of the best cities in the world, scenic wine country, and a pristine big five game reserve.

Overview

Starting off in the city of Cape Town, you'll have the opportunity to truly experience the life of a Capetonian, with its brightly colored houses, artisan shops, street-side cafes, and award-winning restaurants. Cape Town boasts an incredibly rich heritage, gorgeous coastlines, and is home to the iconic Table Mountain - a natural wonder. Your time in Cape Town is best spent exploring the cobbled streets, sampling Capetonian cuisine, seeing an African penguin up-close, and simply admiring the gorgeous vistas.

Your adventure continues in one of the most renowned wine country regions - Franschhoek. It is here where you can indulge in the finest cuisine paired perfectly with award-winning wines. The Franschhoek Valley is renowned for producing outstanding Méthode Cap Classiques with a total of twenty-four producers. The oldest Cape-Dutch home, known as Babylonstoren, will be your abode for the next two days. Being a working farm, you can look forward to wine tastings, tea rituals, and garden-to-table dining experiences.

Leaving the country behind, your journey continues to the renowned Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve, where you will have the opportunity to explore the African bush in open safari vehicles and on foot. The Sabi Sands is well known for its big cat sightings and incredible encounters with the famous big five. It is also a bird lover's paradise with over 300 bird species recorded. Sabi Sabi Little Bush Camp offers an intimate bush setting and incredible comfort, making for an unforgettable safari experience.

The unique locations, personalized service, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences offered on this tour make it ideal for solo explorers, couples, and families.

Itinerary

Day 1 - 3: Cape Town

Today you arrive at Cape Town International Airport, where you will be met and transferred by road to your guest house. After checking in to your gorgeous room, you will have the next few days to explore Cape Town.

Included in the tour price is a half-day Cape Town city tour and a full-day Cape Peninsula tour, which collectively visit some of Cape Town's most popular tourist attractions, including Table Mountain and Boulders Beach.

Cape Town has something for everyone, including shark cage diving, hiking, kayaking, and cultural tours. It would be best to consult with your travel expert for more information on the various tour options.

Accommodation: Welgelegen Boutique Guest House

Day 4 - 5: Franschhoek

After a sumptuous breakfast, you gather your belongings and transfer by road to Babylonstoren, where you will check in and enjoy the rest of the afternoon exploring the farm or nearby wine estates. Franschhoek offers the experience of wine trams, horse riding, cheese and wine tastings, chocolatiers, fine dining restaurants, boutiques, museums, and monuments. Your time in Franschhoek is free for you to enjoy as you wish.

Nothing tastes better than meals prepared with fresh ingredients picked directly from the garden. Babylonstoren has its own fruit and vegetable garden, which supplies both the Babel and Greenhouse restaurants. Their menus are truly inspiring, and the food is out of this world, so be sure to dine there at least once during your stay.

Accommodation: Babylonstoren

After a hearty breakfast and perhaps one last walk around the farm, you bid farewell to the wine country and transfer back to Cape Town International Airport for your scheduled flight to Skukuza Airport.

Sabi Sabi Little Bush Camp allows you to savor African-inspired cuisine, outdoor dining under the African sky, and conversations around the campfire.

What our guests say about Leigh-Ann

November 13, 2024
Exceptional travel agent and overall experience!!
Leigh Ann was an exceptional travel agent who went above and beyond to make our trip to Kruger National Park, Victoria Falls, and Chobe unforgettable. Her recommendations were spot-on, and what made the experience even better was her personal perspective—insights you simply won’t find online. She shared tips that added so much value to our trip and made everything feel more meaningful. Leigh Ann was available anytime we had questions, which made us feel completely supported throughout the trip. From the initial planning stages to our return, every detail was seamless and perfectly coordinated. If you’re planning a trip to Africa, I highly recommend Leigh Ann. She truly gave us a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you, Leigh Ann!

3-nights Zambia trip
I would start by saying before I started talking to Leigh-Ann Croeser I knew I wanted to go on this 3-nights adventure in Zambia with my family towards the end of this year, but I did not have any idea of how to go about planning it, thankfully Leigh-Ann responded immediately to my enquiry. Ever since I started communicating with her, she has been a very friendly, professional, knowledgeable, awesome Luxury Safari consultant who came through for me in every step of this process. She offered great advice and did a great job in customizing our itinerary and put my mind at ease in the process. She always responded quickly and gave me great advise when I needed. We are so looking forward to going on this adventure. I want to thank her from the bottom of my heart;) Thembi Coleman and her family

I tried setting everything up myself
I tried setting everything up myself, but ran into a few hiccups. Less than an hour after reaching out to them in the late afternoon from overseas, I had a response. Leigh-Ann Croeser was quick to help me with all my lodging/ transport/ and special dietary plan needs. I'm looking forward to taking my special someone to this amazing place!

Anja at Safari.com was a great partner to work with!
Working with Anja at Safari.com was great. She was able to work some magic and got us a few nights at the safari lodge we really wanted, Ngoma. Unfortunately, our flight from the USA to South Africa was canceled and we were rebooked a day later but Anja was great about making sure our lodge and the transports knew about the change in plans and made sure we got to our trip as soon as we could. She was a great partner to have and communicated quickly whenever we reached out. I would highly recommend using her when planning a trip to Africa!
