Tour Description
Tempt your taste buds on an unforgettable 11-day journey through South Africa, exploring Cape Town, the Winelands, and the Southern Kalahari.
Begin your adventure in the heart of Cape Town, staying at the iconic Belmond. Indulge in exotic Cape cuisine, sip cocktails at chic bars or by the pool, and explore the vibrant city. Dive into history with a Robben Island tour and enjoy a private walking tour to discover city sights. For a unique experience, explore the bays and coves around the city by sidecar. There’s ample time to dine at some of the best restaurants or discover hidden culinary gems with your local guide.
Next, venture into the renowned wine-producing regions of Paarl, Franschhoek, and Stellenbosch. Travel through picturesque valleys dotted with vineyards, stopping for cellar tours and wine tastings at top estates. Stay in style at a historical boutique luxury hotel, surrounded by the stunning scenery of the Winelands.
Continue your journey to the southernmost edge of the Kalahari for a true wilderness experience. Stay at a luxury camp inspired by the region's dramatic beauty, where the in-house chef crafts menus that tell the culinary story of the Southern Kalahari and Northern Cape using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Explore at your own pace with a private safari vehicle and guide. Visit ancient rock engravings, encounter meerkats, cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, aardwolves, African wildcats, and caracals. Enjoy nature walks, tracking, or horseback riding alongside antelope, buffalo, zebra, and giraffe. At night, stargaze in this perfect location, and consider the unique star-bed experience for an unforgettable night under the African sky.
