Day 1 - 4:

On arrival at Cape Town Airport you will collect your hire car and make your way to the city. Spend the next four days exploring the attractions of the city such as Table Mountain, Robben Island, Bokaap or the V&A Waterfront. Or perhaps spend your days either taking in a game of golf, visiting Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, exploring the leafy Constantia suburbs or lounging on the nearby beaches of Clifton or Camps Bay. You could also enjoy a scenic drive down the Cape Peninsula towards Cape Point with a stop at the Penguin Colony at Boulders beach along the way. Tours on offer include city tours, township tours and winelands tours.

Day 5 - 6:

Drive yourselves the approximately one hour drive to the Cape Winelands and to your base in either Stellenbosch or Franschoek. Spend your time here visiting some of the finest wine estates that South Africa has to offer and to exploring the very beautiful and historic towns. To treat yourselves we recommend a picnic at Boschendal Wine Estate (needs pre-booked), lunch at Lanzerac Manor and dinner at the African style Moyo Restaurant at the Spier Wine Estate. The winelands is not just about tasting wines but also about enjoying good food. The area has some of the best restaurants that South Africa has to offer.

Day 7- 10:

Today drive the approximately 1 hour drive to Cape Town International Airport for your flight to Kruger Mpumalanga Airport (Nelspruit). Here you will be met and transferred by light aircraft to your lodge in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve which flanks the Kruger National Park. Spend the next three days partaking in morning and afternoon game drives in open 4 x 4 vehicles. There are no fences between this private reserve and the Kruger National Park and the game moves freely. The Kruger area is synonymous with the big five (Lion, Elephant, Buffalo, Rhino and Leopard) and offers some of the best chances in Africa to view these magnificent animals in an up close setting.

Your days will start very early with a wake up call with tea/coffee, following which you will be off for your first morning game drive. After breakfast spend the hottest part of the day relaxing in the shade or perhaps lying by the pool. Your second game drive of the day will take place in the late afternoon. As evening falls it is generally the rule that guests enjoy 'sundowners'. Nothing is better than having a cold drink while watching the sun setting over the African bush. You will then be returned to the lodge for a bushveld dinner and possibly more drinks under the African sky after which you can retire to your room to take in the wonderful night sounds of the African bushveld.
