Cape Town & Northern Kruger

Itinerary information

Upon arrival in Cape Town, you'll be met by a driver for a private road transfer to your first three nights’ stay at the stylish bed and breakfast, Welgelegen House. Situated in the quiet Gardens suburb, this guesthouse offers the perfect base from which to explore top tourist attractions while enjoying the tranquillity of a quiet neighbourhood.

A 24-hour concierge desk is well-versed in the city’s main attractions. Consult the friendly staff about booking a full-day tour of the Cape Peninsula, driving along meandering mountain peaks and visiting the penguin colony at Boulders Beach. If you're looking for a more laid-back adventure, you can take the cable car up to Table Mountain for panoramic views of the city bowl, or simply sprawl out on one of the many pristine urban beaches for some sun and a swim. No trip to Cape Town is complete without visiting the Cape Winelands for wine tasting and bistro-style dining.

A short walk from the guesthouse will bring you right onto popular Kloof Street, where you can experience fine dining amidst a trendy restaurant atmosphere. After indulging in a sumptuous meal, you are invited to curl up next to a crackling fireplace to sip on a warming glass of port before retiring for the evening.

Itinerary information

The following day, it’s back to the airport for a flight to Hoedspruit International Airport, where a driver awaits you for a short road transfer to Hoedspruit Civil Airport. From here, a charter flight will take you to your next four nights' stay in a private concession along South Africa's northeastern frontier, at the luxurious Pafuri Tented Camp.

What makes this Kruger experience unique is the camp’s leisurely approach to game safaris and its historical appreciation. Guided morning and afternoon game drives immerse you in the serenity of the wilderness. Time is well spent exploring the savanna with a scenic sunrise or sunset backdrop as you patiently wait for a shy leopard to approach. Stop over for an invigorating bush coffee with ample photo opportunities of lush green valleys inundated with kloofs, meandering rivers and green hilltops. The guides’ deep knowledge of the park's natural history, combined with its remote location, allows you to truly appreciate African wildlife.

When not exploring the bush, enjoy the camp’s private viewing deck where you can witness elephants majestically crossing the Luvuvhu River in herds. Relax on a chaise lounge next to the large swimming pool with select spirits and soft drinks. Meals are served al fresco on a large wooden deck, under the Jackalberry canopy, enveloped in its sweet aromas, before retiring to your luxurious quarters for a peaceful night's rest.
