Cape Town is one of the world's most beautiful cities and its landscape is dominated by the imperious Table Mountain, a startling expanse of rock that rises almost vertically from the ocean. The city nestles into the mountain's shadow as it clings to the coastline to ensure that no visitor is ever very far from the beach. You will be greeted at Cape Town International Airport and transferred to a serene and stylish hotel that is set on its own private quay in the center of Cape Town's Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. Enjoy wine tasting in the cellar, relax in the hotel's spa, and savor the diverse culinary influences on offer at the hotel's restaurant, one of the best in all of Cape Town. Then marvel at the views as each room offers breathtaking panoramas of either Table Mountain, the yacht basin, or the working harbor.

Detailed Description
This unique itinerary offers the best of Southern Africa as it is packed with unforgettable experiences and breathtaking diversity. You will enjoy the views from the Table Mountain summit and your private beach villa on a deserted Indian Ocean island. Watch rhinos wander past your lodge and dolphins swim along the horizon of the Bazaruto Archipelago. Spend an action-packed day exploring Cape Town's penguin islands, museums, markets, and fine-dining restaurants. Then lounge on a wooden verandah as you listen to gentle waves on the beach or the roars from a lion pride in Kruger National Park. Luxury accommodations will ensure tranquility and total immersion in Southern Africa's unique landscapes.
You will begin in Cape Town, a city that's surrounded by ocean and dominated by the startling Table Mountain. Here, you will have ample opportunity to explore the city's innumerable attractions. Watch wild penguins waddle on Boulders Beach, sunbathe on pristine sand, wander atmospheric markets, or tour the island where Mandela spent 18 years in prison. Situated on its own private quay on the waterfront, your 5-star hotel will be both quiet and centrally located. Chauffeured transfers will take you to the city's diverse attractions, while the fine-dining restaurants of the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront will be within walking distance. Then, you will fly directly from Cape Town to a remote corner of Kruger National Park, where the Big Five await in abundance.
Your intimate lodges in Kruger National Park will be fully immersed in the wilderness. This area is famed big cat territory, and most game drives bring lion prides and lone leopards. You will explore the untouched land where rhinos roam free, while elephant and buffalo herds come within touching distance. The next few days at Singita’s private concessions in Kruger and Sabi Sands will reveal an untamed animal world without boundaries. Exhilarating walking safaris and nighttime drives will uncover a different side, while the elegant lodges offer unobstructed panoramas of the fabled African landscape. Finally, your vacation will end in the idyllic beach paradise of the Bazaruto Archipelago. These near-deserted islands in the Indian Ocean offer beauty and serenity, and you'll be staying in a private beach villa on Benguerra Island. Take a romantic sail on a traditional wooden dhow, walk along stunning sandbanks, and lull into hibernation at this tropical heaven.
