South Africa in Style: The Ultimate Luxury Itinerary
For discerning travellers seeking a seamless blend of wild beauty, coastal sophistication, and culinary indulgence, South Africa presents a rare opportunity to experience it all — effortlessly. In one journey, you can track the Big Five on a private safari, sip award-winning wines in century-old vineyards, and unwind at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean in one of the world’s most celebrated coastal cities. This is South Africa, in its most refined form.
Start with Safari: Kruger National Park, Reimagined
The Kruger is one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations — but for the elite traveller, it offers more than just game drives. It is here that you’ll find Singita and Londolozi, two of the continent’s most renowned private lodges. Expect stylish suites with private plunge pools, fine wines paired with gourmet dining, and exceptional guiding that elevates every wildlife encounter into a moment of awe.
In the private concessions bordering Kruger, exclusivity is key. Game drives are tailored to your pace, sundowners happen in secluded riverbeds, and spa treatments follow a morning spent tracking leopards. Whether you choose the serene, design-forward Singita Lebombo or the soul-stirring Londolozi Tree Camp, your stay will strike a rare balance between indulgence and connection to nature.
Coastal Luxury in Cape Town
After the bush, Cape Town feels like a revelation. Towering mountains, golden beaches, and a thriving culinary and arts scene make it one of the most vibrant cities in the world. For the best experience, base yourself at Ellerman House, an elegant cliffside mansion overlooking Bantry Bay.
This is no ordinary hotel — Ellerman House is a sanctuary of curated art, fine food, and warm South African hospitality. Guests can explore the private art gallery, enjoy sundowners from the terrace, or be whisked away to the Constantia vineyards or Table Mountain in minutes. Private chefs, cellar tastings, and city excursions are all personalised to your interests.
Conclude with Tranquillity: The Cape Winelands
Just an hour from Cape Town lies the Cape Winelands — a region of rolling vineyards, Cape Dutch architecture, and award-winning cuisine. One of the most evocative places to stay is Babylonstoren, a working wine farm turned architectural and culinary landmark.
Here, you’ll wake to mountain views, walk through exquisite gardens, and dine in a glasshouse under the stars. Farm-to-table is not a concept here — it’s a way of life. Wine tastings, spa treatments, and long lunches at The Babel Restaurant round off a stay that feels grounded, yet impossibly luxurious.
Why This Journey Works
South Africa is one of the few destinations in the world where you can combine safari, city, and wine country — each component offering an entirely distinct, yet complementary, luxury experience. Better still, travel is seamless, with top-tier air charters and concierge-level service every step of the way.
Whether you’re planning a honeymoon, milestone celebration, or your first visit to Africa, this is a journey that redefines what it means to travel well.
