South Africa truly has something for everyone offering a huge variety of experiences whether you are passionate about wildlife, a thrill seeker, are looking for relaxation in stunning settings or a history buff. A luxury holiday in South Africa is guaranteed to make magical memories.
Cape Town is a wonderful base from which to explore the Western Cape. This vibrant, cosmopolitan city with its beautiful beaches and iconic Table Mountain, and the exclusive areas of Camps Bay, Hout Bay and Constantia.

Drive down to the Cape of Good Hope with its wild and windy coast, spotting ostriches on route
Take a trip to Boulders Beach to watch the South African penguins comically waddle about this important nature reserve
A highlight of any tour of South Africa has to be time spent in the Cape Winelands. Easily accessible from Cape Town the landscape here of majestic mountains and verdant valleys peppered with wineries in the charming Cape Dutch architecture. Here you’ll find some of the most delicious and famous wines on the planet. Considering this is part of the World’s longest continuous wine route perhaps not surprising…
