SIGNATURE SAFARI SERIES

South Africa Luxury Safari — Cape to Kruger

Cape Town, Franschhoek & Sabi Sand

10 Days / 9 Nights

Overview

Ten days trace South Africa’s most celebrated arc — from the design-forward energy of Cape Town’s waterfront, into the vineyard-draped calm of Franschhoek, and finally to the unfenced wilderness of Sabi Sand, where leopard sightings are a near-daily occurrence. Three defining properties, three distinct moods, one seamless story.

The Journey – Your Itinerary

A city where mountain, ocean and art collide beneath Table Mountain’s flat crown.

Cape Town rewards unhurried exploration — cable-car views from 1,000 metres up, penguin colonies on Indian Ocean sand, and a contemporary art museum housed in a converted grain silo. Days here move at whatever pace guests choose.

THE EXPERIENCE
— Table Mountain cableway and its sweeping city-to-ocean views
— Cape Peninsula tour — Seal Island, Chapman’s Peak, Boulders Beach penguins
— Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and its treetop canopy walk
— Private city orientation through the Bo-Kaap and Company’s Gardens
— Signal Hill at sunset, for the city’s finest photographic light

THE STAY — THE SILO HOTEL
A Heatherwick-designed landmark above the Zeitz MOCAA museum — 28 individually decorated suites crowning a converted 1924 grain silo.
— 28 suites, each individually designed by founder Liz Biden — including a signature penthouse
— Pillowed glass windows that turn the hotel into a glowing lantern over the harbour by night
— Rooftop pool and panoramic Table Mountain and ocean views
— Direct access to the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa

South Africa’s food and wine capital, where French Huguenot heritage meets Cape Dutch calm.

Framed by the rugged peaks of the Cape Winelands, Franschhoek moves to the rhythm of harvest and cellar. A private estate becomes the base for wine tastings, garden-to-table dining, and long, unhurried afternoons.

THE EXPERIENCE
— Franschhoek Wine Tram between celebrated estates
— Private tastings and guided cellar tours
— Garden-to-table dining drawn from the estate’s own produce
— Village wandering — galleries, boutiques and Cape Dutch architecture

THE STAY — LA RESIDENCE
A private 30-acre estate among vineyards and mountains — the benchmark for Cape Winelands luxury.
— 11 individually decorated suites, plus 5 family-friendly Vineyard Suites with private pools
— Rich fabrics, statement artworks and antiques throughout
— Spa, gym, library and manicured private gardens
— Complimentary transfers into Franschhoek village

Unfenced to the Kruger, and famed above all for its leopards.

One of Africa’s most prestigious private reserves, Sabi Sand delivers Big Five sightings with a consistency few destinations can match — framed by riverine woodland and the perennial Sand River.

THE EXPERIENCE
— Twice-daily game drives with expert tracking guides
— Guided bush walks, by prior arrangement
— Leopard sightings among the reserve’s most reliable in Africa
— Dining decks suspended above the Sand River

THE STAY — SINGITA EBONY LODGE
A contemporary take on the classic safari lodge — canvas and glass suites suspended over the Sand River.
— 12 suites, each with a private plunge pool
— Tented-glass architecture designed to immerse guests in the bush
— Outdoor pavilion decks for dining and relaxing over the river
— Full wellness treatments available on request

Transfer to the airport for the return flight home.

Where You Will Stay

  • The Silo Hotel

    It is as much an architectural and art statement as a hotel stay: guests get complimentary access to the museum…

  • La Residence

    It is a genuine change of pace from Cape Town: slower, more intimate, and built around the estate’s own vineyard…

  • Singita Ebony Lodge

    Singita’s own guiding and tracking standard is consistently cited as among the best in the industry, and the lodge’s wine…
