Holiday to South Africa
Ellena Milbourne, 14th May 2026Our holiday was an amazing and unforgettable trip. Cape Town, Franschhoek, and Chitwa Chitwa in Sabi Sands were all outstanding in their own way. The scenery, hospitality, food, and safari experiences exceeded expectations and the wildlife viewing at Chitwa Chitwa was incredible and can't really be put into words. You have to experience it for yourself, you won't be disappointed! Highly recommended.
Accommodation Visited
One & Only Cape Town
“One&Only Cape Town was exceptional in every respect. The hotel is beautifully located, with stunning views of Table Mountain and easy access to the V&A Waterfront. The rooms were spacious, luxurious, and impeccably maintained. The service was outstanding throughout our stay, with every member of staff going above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. The food, facilities, and overall atmosphere exceeded our expectations, making it the perfect base from which to explore Cape Town.
I love a hotel bar and this is one of the best I've visited with a view of table mountain in the background. The breakfasts are amazing!”
The Last Word Franschhoek
“The property is elegant, peaceful, and beautifully maintained, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed, while the staff provided genuinely attentive and personalised service throughout our stay. Its location made it easy to enjoy Franschhoek's vineyards, restaurants and attractions. We felt extremely well looked after it's very homely and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.”

The lodge is beautifully designed and perfectly in keeping with its natural surroundings, blending luxury and comfort with an authentic bush experience. The setting overlooking the waterhole creates a wonderful connection to the wildlife and landscape, while still offering exceptional accommodation and amenities. The staff were outstanding, providing warm, attentive service throughout our stay, and the game drives exceeded all expectations, with incredible wildlife sightings and highly knowledgeable guides.
