    Itinerary information

    Arrive at Cape Town International Airport and make your way to Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel, situated amid the restaurants and cafes of fashionable Kloof Street. We recommend hiring a car or arranging a scheduled transfer – the former will give you far more freedom to explore Cape Town and its surroundings. Go2Africa is able to make all your transport and activity arrangements before you even set foot out of your home.

    Settle in and get ready to explore: from the towering spectacle of Table Mountain to the pristine white sands of Camps Bay Beach, there is plenty to do and see in Africa’s favourite city.

      Itinerary information

      This morning you make your way to Cape Town International Airport and fly to Skukuza Airport, gateway to the Kruger National Park. You will be met and transferred to the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, a collection of private conservation areas adjoining the Kruger, and into Lion Sands Private Game Reserve. Check in at Lion Sands River Lodge, a luxury safari lodge overlooking the Sabie River and at the heart of Big 5 country.

      The Sabi Sands consistently delivers some of the best game viewing on the African continent and you’ll be in the thick of things with early morning and late afternoon game drives on the hunt for the Big 5. The fact that Lion Sands is a private reserve means that you will also enjoy guided nature walks and exciting night drives as well.

      After your morning drive you can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere on the lodge’s main viewing deck and watch game come to drink at the river or you can relax with a pampering spa treatment before setting off again in the afternoon.

      This is a fantastic choice that combines Cape Town's urban charm with the excitement of a Big 5 safari. Be sure to spend quality family time exploring the city's breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and exceptional dining scene—don't miss out on the vibrant V&A Waterfront and a sunset view from Table Mountain. When you transition to Lion Sands River Lodge, you'll appreciate the exclusivity. This is the perfect combination of bush and beach in South Africa.
