South Africa Luxury Holiday Ideas
Begin your travels in cosmopolitan Cape Town. Discover the thriving food scene, try thrill-seeking pastimes like abseiling Table Mountain, or learn about the city’s struggle for freedom with a trip to the UNESCO World Heritage site, Robben Island, where former President Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 years.
A one-hour drive from Cape Town you’ll find the Winelands– including Constantia, Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Paarl, Robertson, and Wellington. Here you can explore centuries-old vineyards, stay in beautiful boutique farm hotels, and taste world-famous wines straight from the cellar doors scattered throughout this region.
Heading east from Cape Town, self-drive along the Garden Route – stretching along coastal roads from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth. Time your journey to coincide with whale watching from July to November. The Eastern Cape, home to the Wild Coast, is worth visiting for its rugged cliffs, dramatic rough seas, and dense bushland. There are also excellent family safari options here in this malaria-free part of South Africa on the vast private reserves that form part of this relatively undiscovered corner of South Africa.
South African safaris are legendary and its luxury wildlife lodges are among the best in the world. Kruger Park is the second-largest reserve in Africa, stretching 360km from north to south and teeming with big cats, rhinon, and elephants. A short flight from Johannesburg is the 75,000-acre Madikwe Game Reserve, one of the country's top game viewing destinations in the north of the country, bordering Botswana. Renowned for its prolific Wild Dog population, the destination is inhabited by numerous bird and game species and is a popular family safari destination.
