An unforgettable South Africa Safari

We’re specialists in crafting unforgettable touring and multi-stop trips – and can tailor them to fit your personal preferences and ‘must-dos’. If you’re looking for a bit of adventure and a true ‘bucket list’ holiday then a South Africa safari is one I highly recommend.

One of my favourite itineraries takes in the thrill of Big Five wildlife encounters with the incredible landscapes of the Garden Route and the vibrant culture of Cape Town. This luxe trip showcases the best of South Africa, perfect if you’re seeking a unique blend of adventure, natural beauty, and urban experiences.

Shamwari Sindile Lodge Safari:
Kick off your South Africa safari adventure at Shamwari Sindile Lodge, located in the prestigious Shamwari Private Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape. Known for its commitment to conservation and exceptional wildlife viewing, Shamwari offers the ultimate safari experience.

You’ll stay in one of nine luxury tents, each designed to offer privacy and spectacular views of the surrounding wilderness. Imagine waking up to the sounds of nature, stepping onto your private deck, and witnessing elephants and other wildlife roaming freely across the plains. The lodge combines modern comforts with eco-friendly design, luxurious touches include private plunge pools, king-sized beds, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors that bring the outdoors in.

Daily Big Five game drives with expert rangers offer close encounters with lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffalo – be sure to pack a great camera and extra batteries/power banks! Between drives, you can relax with a spa treatment and enjoy fabulous meals paired with fine South African wines.

The Garden Route
This is such a special drive! You’ll continue your South African adventure by travelling along the Garden Route which offers breathtaking views, charming towns, and lots of activities available on route.

Start in Plettenberg Bay, the beaches here are stunning. There is so much to choose from to add to your trip here – you can go whale watching, explore the Tsitsikamma National Park, or simply relax on the beach. If you’re more interested in an adrenaline rush then don’t miss the chance to bungee jump from Bloukrans Bridge, the highest commercial bungee jump in the world. Only for the brave!

Next, visit Knysna, famous for its lagoon and the dramatic Knysna Heads. Enjoy a sunset cruise, taste fresh oysters, and explore the nearby Knysna Forest. Continue to Wilderness, a tranquil town where you can hike to picturesque viewpoints or enjoy the beaches.

Cape Town
Your South Africa safari adventure would finish in Cape Town, a city with a rich history and vibrant culture. Cape Town is a must-visit on any South Africa safari itinerary, offering a diverse range of activities and experiences.

We can recommend some fantastic five-stars hotels here as use as your base to explore the city.  For activities, take a cable car to the top of Table Mountain for panoramic views, explore the neighbourhoods of Bo-Kaap and Woodstock, or visit Robben Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

For wine lovers, a day trip to the Cape Winelands is a great choice. Explore renowned vineyards in Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, sample award-winning wines, and dine at gourmet restaurants set amongst rolling hills and mountains.

End your journey with a scenic drive along the Cape Peninsula, visiting landmarks like Chapman’s Peak, Boulders Beach (home to a colony of African penguins), and Cape Point, where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet. You won’t want to go home but your memories will last a lifetime!
