South Africa: Cape Town & Safari

From Cape Town's streets and mountains to the raw stillness of the Waterberg bush, this is South Africa at its most rewarding, all in one well-paced week. Few countries pack this much into one trip. 

Cape Town opens the holiday with three nights to allow a proper exploration of this. Take the cable car up Table Mountain, head out to the winelands or the peninsula, linger on the beaches at Camps Bay, or seek out the nightlife of the cosmopolitan city centre as the sun sets. 

From Cape Town you fly to Johannesburg, and within a couple of hours the city gives way to the Waterberg. Three nights at Safari Plains put you in the hands of expert guides who know the Mabula Private Game Reserve intimately, tracking wildlife and birds across a landscape that feels genuinely remote.

• 3 nights at The Cape Milner Hotel in a Standard Room on Bed & Breakfast 
• 3 nights at Safari Plains in a Safari Suite on Accommodation & Three Meals 
• Enjoy the bistro, pool deck, Glass Lounge and outdoor terrace at The Cape Milner in Cape Town

Why You’ll Love This Trip! 
Cape Town earns its reputation as one of the world’s most beautiful cities at every turn, and three nights gives you proper time to explore it. Table Mountain, the winelands, the peninsula drives, the beaches and the evenings on Kloof Street all compete for your attention in the best possible way. Then the pace shifts entirely. A short flight to Johannesburg and a drive into the Waterberg puts you deep inside the Mabula Private Game Reserve, where expert guides take you out into the bush morning and evening in search of wildlife and birds. Two very different South Africas, perfectly balanced in a single trip.
