This private South Africa itinerary is ideal for honeymooners or other travelers wanting an unforgettable romantic getaway. It includes the best of South Africa’s stunning landscapes, gourmet food and wine, amazing luxury hotels and cultural attractions, as well as wildlife safaris at the top safari lodges in legendary Sabi Sand Reserve and Kruger National Park.
Begin with a relaxing stay at a luxurious countryside hotel in the Cape Winelands , a region of vineyards, small towns and dramatic mountains. During private touring, enjoy personalized wine tastings at some of South Africa's premier vineyards and stop at Babylonstoren, a farming and culinary complex with whitewashed Cape Dutch buildings and lush gardens. Also visit the towns of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek to see charming historic districts, browse boutiques and dine at acclaimed restaurants according to your interests.
Next, you will be transferred to Hermanus , a beautiful coastal town that’s renowned for whale watching. One morning, enjoy an early morning whale watching (in season) or a marine safari cruise to look for penguins, fur seals and other animals. Artisans of Leisure can also arrange spa treatments, land-based whale watching and other activities.
Continue to Cape Town , one of the world’s most beautiful cities. During private touring, explore the city’s stunning landscapes, vibrant neighborhoods, fascinating history, and excellent food and wine scene. Enjoy fast-track access for the cable car up iconic Table Mountain, and walk among native fynbos plants in beautiful Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden. Learn about Cape Town history in evocative places such as Bo-Kaap (the Cape Malay Quarter), the Company’s Garden and the Castle of Good Hope. Browse for locally made clothing, jewelry and other treasures in top handicrafts markets. Enjoy reservations at Cape Town’s best restaurants, find a snack in the Time Out Market food hall, stop at a farmers market or have afternoon tea at the atmospheric Mount Nelson, a Belmond Hotel.
One day, enjoy a private excursion to the spectacular Cape Peninsula to see penguins at Boulders Beach, dramatic landscapes at Cape Point and along Chapman’s Peak Drive, and the area’s unique vegetation, which is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Depending on your interests, Artisans of Leisure can arrange additional options, such as an excursion to Robben Island, scenic helicopter flights, Jewish touring, a visit to a township, visits to the District Six Museum or the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa or touring in the Constantia wine region.
Next, spend time at luxurious Singita safari lodges in two of South Africa’s best luxury safari locations: Kruger National Park and Sabi Sand Reserve . During morning and afternoon game drives, look for the Big Five (elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos and Cape buffaloes), as well as hippos, giraffes and other animals and birds. During leisure time, perhaps make spa appointments, lounge by the pool or browse the boutique for locally made crafts and artworks. Also enjoy three gourmet meals per day, accompanied by top South African wines. Walking safaris, visits to local communities and other activities can also be arranged.
This tour can be further customized with additional destinations or activities according to your interests.
