Inspirational safari & beach holiday to South Africa and Maldives
A luxury African journey combining a city break in Cape Town, a thrilling Big 5 safari in the Kruger Park and an idyllic beach stay in the Maldives. Begin in one of the world's most beautiful cities, Cape Town at the perfectly placed One & Only Cape Town. Situated in the heart of the V&A Waterfront, allowing you to access all the restaurants and activities on foot and the famous city sights, including Table Mountain, are all in proximity. When you have had your fill of city life, embark on your Big 5 safari in a private reserve bordering the Kruger Park. Sleep in luxury under canvas, at Saseka Tented Camp and spend your days on safari adventures with your guides. Candlelit dinners under the stars complete the experience.
Then escape to the epitome of bare foot luxury, Six Senses Laamu in the Maldives. Offering a stylish, exclusive experience on a tropical palm-fringed island, with a wealth of activities and excursions on hand, supported by Six Senses' renowned dedication to sustainability and conservation. Unique experiences are very much the order of the day, from sunset cruises and dolphin-watching excursions to a Robinson Crusoe adventure on a deserted island for a day.
