Discover South Africa's Vibrant 'Mother City' on a luxury tour
Nestled in the embrace of the iconic Table Mountain and the lively V&A Waterfront, Cape Town is a breathtaking destination where city life meets rolling vineyards, engaging wildlife and world-class dining.
This is the oldest city in South Africa, steeped in history and full of beautiful buildings from its past. Visit the gabled Cape Dutch manor houses of the Constantia Valley and explore the courtyards of the 17th century Castle of Good Hope. Engaging local guides are eager to invite you into spaces filled with the aromas of home-style meals and alive with music and art. We will arrange a walking tour through the city that will take you to spots often overlooked by visitors, introducing you to people and places that truly connect you with the spirit of the ‘Mother City’.
A highlight of any visit to Cape Town is taking the cable car to the top of Table Mountain to marvel at the astounding city and coast views. And if you’re looking for an energetic start or end to your day, consider a sunrise or sunset hike up Lion’s Head. Outside of the city itself there are many attractions that can be visited on a day trip. It’s easy to experience both the dramatic coastline of the Cape of Good Hope and the lush vineyards of Stellenbosch, Franchhoek and Paarl in the Winelands during your stay. You can even combine a city stay with a luxury safari from Cape Town to South Africa’s wildlife havens.
We have a team of enthusiastic and knowledgeable local guides who’ll share the best of their city with you. Contact our experienced travel designers and concierges to start planning your luxury tour of Cape Town today.

Durban
A subtropical climate, beautiful beaches and laid back atmosphere makes Durban a great city to spend time in. It also holds plenty of cultural and political importance as the capital of the KwaZulu Natal region.
Eastern Cape Safaris
South Africa’s Eastern Cape continues to win visitors over with its pristine coastline, accessible and malaria-free wildlife reserves, picturesque villages and surreal hinterland landscapes.
Johannesburg
South Africa‘s ‘Big Apple’, this sunny city is not only one of the world’s largest urban areas and South Africa’s commercial and economic hub, it’s also been branded the new capital of cool.
KwaZulu Natal
Known as the ‘Kingdom of the Zulu’, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa’s most north-easterly coastal province, quite literally has it all.

Madikwe
Madikwe, in the northwest corner, boarding Botswana and the Kalahari desert is a hidden gem for safari-goers. A great spot for families with little children as there’s no malaria-free area.
Northern Kruger National Park
The Makuleke is the northernmost section of the Kruger National Park. It is something of an open secret among safari aficionados, a diverse and dramatic region that is perhaps the park’s most beautiful, yet kept wonderfully quiet thanks to its remoteness and community run concession status.
Phinda
Phinda is a private reserve offering exclusivity, conservation-lead hospitality and exciting wildlife encounters. A varied collection of habitats attracts plenty of wildlife and with its proximity to the coast, beach and bush combine perfectly.
Pretoria
Located in the northern part of Gauteng Province, this handsome city is one of South Africa‘s three capital cities. Pretoria is made up of grand buildings, large, leafy green suburbs and wide, tree-lined streets.
Sabi Sands
Widely regarded as Africa’s premier game reserve, Sabi Sands is world renowned for the abundance of game (particularly leopard), and is the best place to see all of the ‘Big Five’ in South Africa.
The Garden Route
This exquisitely pretty, pleasant and popular strip of South Africa’s Western Cape and coastline is a nature lover’s paradise and a horticulturist’s dream.
The Kalahari
The Kalahari, at 350,000m², spreads itself over most of Botswana, the east of Namibia and the north of South Africa.
The Kruger
Founded in 1898 by President Paul Kruger, this National Park remains one of the oldest and largest wildlife reserves in the world.
The Western Cape Mountains
The Western Cape’s mountainous interior adds yet another string to South Africa’s bow of extraordinary experiences.
The Whale Coast
As you might imagine, the marine life of the Whale Coast is the main draw of the area, but you can’t help but credit them for picking such a spectacular stretch of coastline around which to gather.
The Winelands
Just a short drive from Cape Town one enters the verdant, rolling hills of South Africa’s wine country. Home to fantastic wine and some of Africa’s best restaurants.
When to visit Cape Town
Cape Town and along the Garden Route are great to visit any time of year, but early summer when the winds drops are particularly pleasant. If you’re visiting for safari, the dry winter months are often considered the best but the wetter summer months bring full waterholes, lush bushveld and lots of newborn animals.
