Offer Details
Experience South Africa in timeless style with a journey that blends cosmopolitan energy, iconic rail travel and immersive safari adventure.
Begin with 5 nights at The President Hotel, perfectly positioned beneath Table Mountain and moments from the Atlantic coastline. Spend your days soaking up the vibrant atmosphere of Cape Town — from scenic drives along Chapman’s Peak and visits to Cape Point, to wine tasting in the nearby Winelands and sunset strolls along Camps Bay. The city offers the perfect balance of relaxation, culture and adventure, all framed by breathtaking scenery.
Your journey then becomes truly unforgettable with 2 nights aboard The Blue Train in a Deluxe Suite, travelling in refined luxury from Cape Town to Pretoria. Often regarded as one of the world’s most iconic rail journeys, The Blue Train evokes the glamour of a bygone era, where attentive service, elegant interiors and fine dining create an atmosphere of timeless sophistication. Settle into your beautifully appointed suite as ever-changing landscapes unfold beyond your window — from dramatic mountain ranges and wide-open plains to remote towns steeped in history. Days onboard are wonderfully unhurried, spent enjoying afternoon tea, beautifully curated cuisine and cocktails in the lounge car while the scenery drifts by. As evening falls, the train transforms into an intimate, candlelit setting where the romance of slow travel takes centre stage.
After an overnight stay at Ivory Manor Boutique Hotel, your adventure concludes with 3 nights at Tshwene Lodge in the spectacular Welgevonden Game Reserve. Nestled within a secluded Big Five reserve, Tshwene Lodge offers an intimate and luxurious safari experience surrounded by dramatic landscapes and untouched wilderness. Twice-daily game drives bring exhilarating wildlife encounters, from elephants and rhino to lions and elusive leopards, while peaceful moments back at the lodge allow you to fully absorb the magic of the bush. Expect candlelit dinners, panoramic views and unforgettable sunsets beneath vast African skies.
