(14 Days - Departs Daily on a Private Basis) Mahe Island, North Island, Johannesburg, Kruger National Park, Cape Town
This private tour of Seychelles and South Africa is the ultimate romantic tour or honeymoon. It combines time at the two most luxurious island resorts in the tropical paradise of Seychelles with the best of spectacular South Africa: private cultural touring in Cape Town, wine touring in the Winelands or scenic touring along the Cape Peninsula, and an exciting safari at the finest luxury safari lodge in outstanding Sabi Sand Game Reserve.
Begin in Seychelles, an archipelago of beautiful islands in the Indian Ocean. On arrival on the island of Mahe, you’ll be met and assisted through immigration, and then transferred by private vehicle to Four Seasons Resort Seychelles. During ample leisure time, relax on white sand beaches, enjoy the resort’s spa and other facilities, and perhaps go swimming, snorkeling or kayaking in the clear blue water. Artisans of Leisure can also arrange many additional activities such as scuba diving, fishing and sailing.
Next, transfer by helicopter to North Island, a renowned luxury resort on its own private island in Seychelles. Relax in your thatch-roofed villa, go for a dip in your private pool or opt for treatments at the resort spa. Experience the tropical beauty of the island’s white sand beaches, rock outcroppings, and palm and takamaka trees. Enjoy the resort’s many complimentary activities, such as scuba diving, snorkeling, sea kayaking, mountain biking, nature walks, beach fishing, sunset cruises, learning about local sea turtles and giant tortoises, and more. In addition, Artisans of Leisure can arrange private boat charters, scenic helicopter flights, private picnics on secluded beaches, and other activities upon request.
Fly to South Africa, staying overnight in Johannesburg’s most exclusive residential neighborhood en route to your luxury safari.
Continue to Singita, an ultra-luxury safari lodge in Kruger National Park, an area renowned for its diverse wildlife—including the Big Five. Stay at an ultra-luxurious and romantic safari lodge and enjoy morning and afternoon game drives and guided bush walks during your stay. If desired, a visit to a local community can be arranged. There will also be time to indulge in spa treatments and enjoy elaborate gourmet meals paired with South Africa’s best wines.
Next, visit beautiful Cape Town and enjoy comprehensive private touring with one of the city’s most knowledgeable guides. Learn about the city’s fascinating history and architecture; take a cable car to the top of iconic Table Mountain; experience local markets, boutiques, museums and noted African art galleries; and enjoy Cape Town’s incredible food and wine scene, including reservations at top restaurants. Depending on your interests, perhaps tour other highlights such as Robben Island, Bo Kaap (the Cape Malay Quarter) or Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden. One day, take a private excursion along the scenic coastal road to the Cape Peninsula to visit the Cape of Good Hope, Boulders Beach and quaint seaside towns. Alternatively, opt to spend a day in the Winelands region, tasting wines at South Africa’s best vineyards and visiting the charming towns of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek.
