This amazing Safari and Spa Vacation package was planned for a high-powered couple from Washington, D.C. They were looking for a trip that was a bit different, with a mix of adventure and luxury spa treatments. This trip to Cape Town, a safari lodge, and a Mauritius resort was the ideal African getaway.
They started their Safari and Spa Vacation in beautiful Cape Town and spent 4 nights at 2Inn1 Kensington, a luxury boutique hotel with stylish rooms and spectacular views of Table Mountain. They were free to explore Cape Town at their leisure. They visited fabulous boutique shops and gourmet restaurants on the V&A Waterfront, and also had some excitement by going cage diving with Great White Sharks. They made a day trip to the Cape Winelands to sample world-class wines and dine in South Africa’s culinary capital of Franschhoek.
After 5 days in Cape Town, they were transferred to Simbavati River Lodge, an intimate, luxury safari lodge in Kruger National Park. They enjoyed morning and afternoon game drives to see the Big 5, and also enjoyed seeing hundreds of interesting bird species. Each evening, they watched the spectacular African sunset in the bush with cocktails in hand, then enjoyed a delicious dinner around the fire.
Next on their Safari and Spa Vacation, they overnighted in Johannesburg and spent an evening exploring South Africa’s largest city. The next day, they flew to their luxury beach resort in Mauritus, The Oberoi. This fabulous resort is steps from the beach and a magnificent coral reef, where they enjoyed plenty of private snorkeling during their week-long stay. They also indulged in rejuvenating spa treatments, scrumptious gourmet meals, and long, leisurely walks on the beautiful beach.
After a fabulous trip full of adventure and the utmost pampering, their Safari and Spa Vacation came to an end. They were transferred back to Johannesburg, where they caught their connecting flight home.
