We created this South Africa Luxury Tour for a group of friends celebrating a 30th birthday. They were quite adventurous and they wanted the full South Africa experience: a luxury safari, a stay in Cape Town, and an excursion in the Winelands. This travel package allowed them to do everything on their list for the ultimate Africa adventure.
They began their South Africa Luxury Tour in beautiful Cape Town. They stayed at the luxurious and secluded More Quarters hotel, situated in easy walking distance of many fabulous restaurants, bars, and boutique stores. They enjoyed a private walking tour through this beautiful coastal city to discover the many varieties of delicious cuisine on offer. The next day, they decided to visit the Cape Winelands to sample the best wines from Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, and Paarl.
Next for their South Africa Luxury Tour, they were flown to the famous Sabi Sands Game Reserve and their accommodations at Lion Sands Ivory Lodge. Their luxurious private villa was the perfect place to unwind and observe the wildlife, as the oversized windows gave the impression of being totally surrounded by the African bush. During their 3-night stay, they enjoyed Big 5 safaris and saw some of the many leopards for which Sabi Sands Game Reserve is renowned. Back at the lodge, they were treated to 5-star service, delicious meals, and beautiful views of the surrounding plains.
Continuing their South Africa Luxury Tour, they were transferred to the remote and exclusive Marataba Trails Lodge. This luxury lodge, which sits in a mountain pass with breathtaking views of the surrounding region, was designed to give visitors a deep connection with nature. During their 3 nights at Marataba, our clients enjoyed exhilarating hikes through some of South Africa’s most beautiful and untouched landscapes. They enjoyed up-close sightings of giraffes, rhinos, colorful birds, and much more with the help of their expert guide.
At last, their magical South Africa Luxury Tour came to an end. They were transferred to the airport to begin their trip home.
