This Best of South Africa vacation package was planned for a couple celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary. They wanted the perfect combination of wildlife, luxury, city, and wine, so we designed this itinerary allowing them to experience it all.

They began their Best of South Africa vacation with 4 incredible nights in South Africa’s largest private game reserve, the Tswalu Kalahari. With no more than 30 guests at any time, Twsalu Kalahari specializes in an intimate safari experience. They saw the Big 5 along with many others species on several game drives, enjoyed a tranquil spa day under the Kalahari sun, lounged on their private sun deck, and took guided bush walks to get as close as possible to their natural surroundings.

Upon flight transfer from the Tswalu Kalahari, they were met by a private car guide to transfer them to their centrally located accommodations in Cape Town. They spent 4 nights at The Marly Boutique Hotel, which offers the utmost luxury in the beautiful and fashionable neighborhood of Camps Bay. They spent their days exploring the exciting city and their nights enjoying gourmet cuisine and their gorgeous lodgings with beach views.

Finally, their Best of South Africa vacation package concluded with 3 nights in the beautiful landscapes of the Cape Winelands. They stayed in the cozy and luxurious Hotel Babylonstoren in the heart of South Africa’s wine district. They explored Babylonstoren’s renowned garden and 200+ hectares of working farmland during the day, indulging in delicious cuisine and some of South Africa’s best wine in the evenings.

Having experienced the best of South Africa, from safari to city to wine, their trip came to an end and they were transferred to the airport to begin their journey home.
