Vibrant Cape Town, a Big 5 safari in a private Kruger reserve and seven days of exotic island living in the Seychelles – this Southern African holiday has it all.
Begin your journey in Africa’s favourite city – Cape Town – and spend three days exploring its numerous attractions – fashionable city beaches, leafy vineyards and of course beautiful Table Mountain. Then catch a flight to the Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve and enjoy a range of game viewing activities in your search for the Big 5.
From here you’ll fly to Mahe Island in the Seychelles where you’ll spend the rest of your trip enjoying life in a tropical Indian Ocean paradise, lounging on classic white-sand beaches and exploring coral reefs.
Arrive at Cape Town International Airport where you’ll be met and transferred to The Cape Grace Hotel, situated at the heart of the ever-popular Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, and where you will spend the following four nights.
Tonight you can dine at the hotel’s Signal Restaurant and enjoy whisky tasting at The Bascule Bar or you may opt to take a stroll through the Waterfront and dine at one of the many different restaurants on offer.
You are in an ideal position to spend the following two days exploring not just the beautiful Waterfront but also the lively and culturally diverse city of Cape Town. Most of the city’s attractions are literally on your doorstep.
Take a walk around the bustling streets of the city centre – Long Street is particularly worth checking out for dose of local flavours – and visit African markets, antique stores, designer shops or some of the many restaurants, bars and cafes.
The beautiful beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay are only a short drive away, as is the cable car up Table Mountain from where you can gaze over the city, the peninsula and the glittering Atlantic Ocean.
Kruger National Park, Kruger Private Reserves, South Africa
This morning you will transfer back to Cape Town Airport for your scheduled flight to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport. A charter flight will then take you to a Singita airstrip where you will be met and transferred to Singita Boulders Lodge.

The next two days will be yours to enjoy a luxurious safari experience in a classic private Kruger game reserve. Enjoy early morning, afternoon and evening game drives, remembering to keep your eyes open: the area is famous for its high concentration of big game and is also known for its frequent leopard sightings. Guided nature walks offer a different, more intimate way of exploring this environment.
And when you’re not enjoying this breathtaking wilderness, you can relax at the lodge in your private pool or on one of the viewing deck with a cool drink in hand. Relax and rejuvenate at the in-house spa and enjoy a range of beauty treatments and massages.

A charter flight will take you back to the airport where you will catch your connecting flight to OR Tambo. From here you will be transferred to trendy neighbourhood of Sandton and the Fairlawns Boutique Hotel, your accommodation for the night. The rest of the day is yours to relax. Take a swim in the pool, pamper yourself at the spa, or wander the manicured gardens. Round the day off perfectly with an evening of fine dining in Sandton.
Today you will travel from Johannesburg to exquisite Mahe Island in the Seychelles. A road transfer will then take you to Banyan Tree where you will spend the next seven days indulging in luxury island living. Banyan Tree is located on the scenic south-west coast of Mahe and is the ideal location from which to explore this amazing destination.
There’s no rush over the coming days so you can easily spend long hours soaking up the sun and lounging on the pristine beaches that have made the Seychelles islands as famous as they are. Stay in a spacious and luxurious room where you can enjoy privacy and romance, not to mention a private jacuzzi.
When you’re not relaxing on the beach you can take a stroll around the beautiful botanical gardens, enjoy a game of tennis on the resort’s courts or take a dip in the infinity pool.

Get romantic as you indulge in a private barbeque dinner on the beach one evening and watch the sun set over the horizon.
Activities that you can enjoy outside of the resort include cruises on the Banyan Lagoon, snorkelling and diving excursions to the marine park or boat trips to explore some of the other nearby islands.
