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 Johannesburg for a few nights.  There they enjoyed a history tour invcluding the Apartheid Museum. 

They continued to beautiful Cape Town. They stayed at Cape Cadogan, a luxurious boutique hotel known for its charming blend of contemporary elegance and historic character, offering guests a unique and comfortable stay in the heart of the city.  They visited the Cape Winelands to sample the best wines from Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, and Paarl.

Next for 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.

Continuing their South Africa Luxury Tour, they were flown to the famous Sabi Sands Game Reserve and their accommodations at Lion Sands Narina Lodge, an exclusive safari lodge located in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, offering luxurious treehouse-style accommodations with stunning views of the Sabie River. 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.

At last, their magical South Africa Luxury Tour came to an end. They were transferred to the airport to begin their trip home.
