Scenically beautiful, Cape Town is a compelling mix of trendy modern and old-world elegance.

Contemporary art is proudly displayed in a variety of galleries and modern boutique hotels, and wine bars and brandy tasting lounges will appeal to the fashionable set. For the well-heeled the finest in opera, ballet, drama and music can be appreciated in style.
Elevated above the vibrant Camps Bay Beach strip, The Marly Boutique Hotel and Spa offers guests an urban hideaway that celebrates sophisticated design, beachfront living and five-star service.

With your private guide, you will take a private tour of Cape Town designed completely around your interests.
The vibrant City Centre has much to offer: Historical buildings like the City Hall where Nelson Mandela gave his first public speech after his release from prison in 1990, Greenmarket Square, the brightly coloured houses in Bokaap (the oldest intact residential quarter in Cape Town), the Cape Quarter in De Waterkant Village and fascinating collectable shops in Long Street bulging with a multitude of treasures.

With your private guide, choose to hike or take the cable car up Table Mountain, one of the oldest mountains on the planet, a natural world heritage site and Natural New 7 Wonder of the World, and the most iconic landmark of South Africa.
A range of routes offer ways to explore the mountain, from walks around the indigenous forest and lower peaks to rigorous hikes up, but the quickest way to the top is via the aerial tramway, and takes about five minutes. At the top, there's a cafe, some souvenir shops, and trails to enjoy the views, including the path to the summit, marked by Maclear's Beacon, a large cairn built by Sir Thomas Maclear in 1865 to assist in measuring the curvature of the earth.

After breakfast and check-out, meet your private driver for your transfer to the Cape Town Airport.
Booked by Scenset
Upon arrival, your safari will begin immediately as you are met by your safari guide right outside of the airport lobby for transfer via game vehicle to your hotel. Get your cameras ready as you look out for wildlife during your drive to the Sabi Sands Game Reserve!
The Sabi Sand Nature Reserve, named for the Sabie and Sand Rivers which flow through it, is renowned for its wildlife density and predator interactions; seldom will a visitor not see the Big Five. Although it shares a fenceless boundary with Kruger National Park, much of the wildlife in the Sabi Sand stays more or less in the reserve. Over the years, the animals have become used to the presence of safari vehicles, resulting in close encounters, particularly with the elusive leopards.
Sabi Sabi’s intimate all-suite Selati Camp is an unforgettable African experience. It offers the perfect accommodation for travelers looking for a romantic luxury safari lodge in South Africa. Selati is furnished with a historic railway theme and is meticulously created as an authentic home in the bush. The railway theme extends from the original steam engine name plates, signals, and shunter’s lamps lighting the way to your suite, to interesting memorabilia and other collector’s pieces in each suite.
Luxury Suite
Inclusions: Open vehicle safaris by day and at night, environmental awareness walking safaris, breakfast, lunch, "boma" dinner, all drinks excluding French Champagne and Private Collection Cellar Wines, limited laundry service (no dry cleaning available), Wi-Fi

The Sabi Sands is a private 65,000-hectare reserve known as one of the few places that you can see the Big 5 in one day. It has a diverse habitat with the Sand and Sabi Rivers running through it, a huge range of wildlife and a reputation for big cat sightings.
Head out for an early morning game drive in open vehicles, stopping for a refreshing coffee break and a chance to listen to the sounds of the bush whilst admiring the landscape. After some down-time and a siesta back at camp, set off again in the late afternoon when the bush comes alive. Sundowners as night falls, then spotlights come out in search of a new range of creatures. For those needing to expend some energy, a guided walking safari is an ideal way to learn about smaller animals and plants.

Take a shared charter flight from the Fireblade Hangar in Johannesburg to Tswalu Kalahari.
Booked by someone
Tswalu is a vast, magical land of infinite possibility, with sweeping vistas and a liberating sense of space. The green Kalahari is nature at its most diverse and surprising, and to spend time here is to be touched by exuberant, soulful beauty. It offers an escape to a place that’s governed by the ancient rhythms of the seasons, rather than the clock and the calendar. It offers a vision of hope that brings together conservation, research and unrivalled safari experience.
At Tswalu you’ll encounter species you may have seen elsewhere, along with drier area specialist species that you probably haven’t. While zebra, buffalo and giraffe will be familiar if you’ve been on safari before, this will likely be your first opportunity to capture iconic Kalahari images such as dainty springbok with a backdrop of red sand, or the silhouette of a gemsbok atop a dune. Many of the species found at Tswalu are of particular significance to the San people, as evidenced by their inclusion in ancient galleries of rock art.
There is a timeless quality to Kalahari – it’s a place where humans have wandered and wondered since the dawn of creation.
This luxury safari camp is designed with individual couples and families in mind, and accommodates a maximum of 18 adults in nine legae or suites. Indigenous gardens throughout the camp are a haven for antelope and birds, while a waterhole in front of the main guest area attracts a variety of wildlife, especially in the dry season. The main camp’s communal guest area comprises a series of generous spaces for relaxing and dining indoors and outdoors.

An intimate boma is the setting for barbecue dinners under the stars. The Tswalu Spa is situated at the Motse, along with a Gym, Photographic Studio and the Gallery, a boutique stocked with art, jewelry, clothing, and souvenirs.
