Luxury Cape Town, Winelands and Safari Vacation
Including not one, but 2 exclusive and ultra-luxurious safaris, as well as a stay in Cape Town and the picturesque Cape Winelands, this luxury holiday combines some of the best that South Africa has to offer.
Start by spending time in Cape Town exploring the many famous sights and follow that with a couple days really slowing down the pace and luxuriating in the gourmet food and wine of South Africa's spectacular vineyards. Then combine safaris in Phinda Private Game Reserve in KwaZulu Natal and a private reserve bordering the Kruger National Park, flying between the 2 in a light aircraft. Both Phinda Vlei Lodge and Ngala Tented Camp offer the ultimate in luxurious accommodation as well as superb guiding and excellent game viewing.
