Inspirational safari holiday to South Africa and United Arab Emirates
A diverse and luxurious vacation for those who want to do more and see more. It combines the best bits of South Africa, Cape Town, the Cape Winelands and the Kruger Park, with a city break in Dubai. Begin at the elegant Cape Grace Hotel on Cape Town's famous V&A Waterfront. You will be within walking distance of many of its attractions and, with your hire car, you can travel easily to all the sights of the city including Table Mountain.
