Cape and KwaZulu Natal City, Beach and Safari Honeymoon
Offering a city break in Cape Town, Indian Ocean beaches in Durban and a fabulous Big 5 safari, this vacation has it all. It's a self-drive trip idea for independent travelers who enjoy the freedom of a scenic drive, whilst staying in elegant hotels and lodges. Set off the exciting journey by seeing Cape Town's sights from Table Mountain and Cape Point to Robben Island and the V&A Waterfront, all from the luxury of the 5-star Twelve Apostles Hotel, known for its incredible sea views.
Then head to South Africa's east coast and to the exclusive Oyster Box Hotel situated right on one of Durban's most beautiful beaches. Here spend your time lounging by the pool or on the beach before heading north to Phinda Private Game Reserve and to the spectacular Phinda Mountain Lodge where you will be spoilt with an abundance of activities including Big 5 game drives.
