Searching for an exotic and luxurious holiday at an affordable price? You can expect luxurious accommodation throughout, complete with personal touches, without breaking the bank.

Explore the highlights of South Africa with an exclusive special offer that takes you from the vibrant streets of Cape Town to the rolling vineyards of the Cape Winelands and the wild heart of the Greater Kruger.

Picture yourself wandering Cape Town’s historic neighbourhoods, framed by the dramatic sweep of Table Mountain and the sparkling Atlantic coastline. Then, just a short journey to Franschhoek, where sun-drenched vineyards, charming streets, and world-class food and wine create the perfect setting for days of discovery and indulgence. Explore the town’s historic centre, taste exceptional wines at the surrounding vineyards, and soak up the timeless elegance that has made Franschhoek one of the Cape Winelands’ most celebrated destinations. Finally journey north to Garonga Safari Camp in the Makalali Conservancy, in search of The Big Five. Expert guides lead game drives in this private conservancy, while evenings in canvas tents surround you with the sights and sounds of the African bush.

For an experience unlike any other, ask us about the "Sleep Out Deck", a private elevated platform overlooking a waterhole, where a lantern-lit dinner and a night under the stars bring you closer to nature than ever before.
